How to Get a Better Church Website for Only $24/month

Sites in Action - Banner

Three common problems with church websites are cost, ease of use and design quality. Most church website solutions are expensive. Poorly built systems are hard to use. Outdated designs abound. Does your church website suffer in these ways?

I’ll tell you how you can get a better church website for about $24 per month. You can decide if you want to join thousands of other churches, big and small, that have already done it.

The response we’ve gotten from the new website is just overwhelming.
David Julian, Music & Arts Pastor

A Less Expensive Church Website

Ease of use was one of the reasons we chose to use WordPress as a platform for church websites. Another significant reason was cost. Seventy million websites of all types (churches, restaurants, schools, photographers — you name it) use it completely free of charge.

I was able to save our church a ton of money by switching to WordPress…

Mobile Church WebsitesHow can it be free? WordPress is an open source project supported by hundreds of professional web developers and designers that donate their time. This has gone on for more than ten years and the project is bigger than ever (powering more than 20% of the web). We’re very grateful to the people who create this incredible value and give it away to all who would benefit.

Here’s what your church website needs.

Disclosure: We use SiteGround hosting as an example and may receive a commission if you choose them. See Church Web Hosting Rated and Ranked for other options (you can use any host).

  • WordPress – Free
  • Starter Package (All Themes) – $129/year (20% discount first year)
  • Church Content Plugin – Included
  • One-on-one support – Included
  • Hosting (where your site lives) – About $50 for first year and $150 for each year after that
  • Domain (yourname.com) – $15/yr

This adds up to $169 for your first year which is about $14/month. This is based on our Starter Package with 20% off first year and the StartUp plan from SiteGround without optional up-sells that are automatically added to your cart at checkout. Many hosts discount the entire first year’s price so it’s important to look at the cost for additional years.

SiteGround’s regular price for that plan is about $150/year, which puts the cost of a church website with hosting, theme/plugin and domain renewals around $294/year — or $24.50/month.
