Why are church websites still priced like enterprise software contracts?
When a church committee looks into building or redesigning their website, they are typically met with two bad choices: pay a specialized church web agency $2,500 to $6,000 upfront with a mandatory $79–$199/month maintenance retainer, or spend hundreds of volunteer hours wrestling with slow WordPress templates and expensive plugin renewals. For small churches and church plants, spending thousands of ministry dollars on website overhead means taking funds away from community outreach, youth events, and local mission work.
"We wanted a website that looked modern and fast, but we couldn't justify spending a tenth of our annual budget on website maintenance fees."
⚠️ Common Weekly Friction
- • Traditional church web agencies lock churches into expensive annual contracts.
- • General website builders charge extra for storage, domain connection, and basic forms.
- • Small churches end up stuck on 10-year-old websites because redesigns cost too much.
- • Hidden plugin fees and security add-ons quietly increase monthly technology bills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Church Sites Live so much more affordable than other church website builders?
Most church website builders use legacy, server-heavy architectures or rely on high-margin agency support models. Church Sites Live is built on modern static edge technology and Cloudflare's serverless infrastructure, which drastically lowers our operational overhead—and we pass those savings directly to local churches.
Are there any hidden fees or add-on costs?
No. The $19/month flat rate covers your entire website, unlimited sermon audio storage, in-browser CMS access, automated SSL certificates, and tool embeds. There are zero setup fees or surprise maintenance add-ons.
What happens at the end of the 30-day free trial?
During your 30-day trial, you can build and test your complete website for $0. If you love it, simply enter billing details to continue for $19/month. If you decide not to continue, you will never be charged.
Do you take a percentage of our online giving?
No. Church Sites Live never takes transaction fees or percentage cuts from your donations. Your giving platform (Tithe.ly, Planning Center, Stripe, etc.) processes donations directly into your church bank account.
Can small or rural churches manage this easily?
Yes. Church Sites Live was designed specifically with small and rural churches in mind. If you know how to write an email, you can update your website in minutes from any laptop or tablet.
