The 2020 COVID "lockdown" was traumatic for most churches. Some have made an almost complete recovery whilst others, mainly smaller churches, have struggled to return to their pre-COVID levels of ministry and community involvement. Interface websites has responded to different levels of church "recovery" with different web solutions. Here are some examples...
A large and active, two-site Anglican church
Hawkwell Parish needed to return to a full range of "in person" activities, while adding extra functions to their web presence. As well as building an extensive multi-page site for them we created a searchable database of live-streamed services for visitors and congregants to view. We also enabled them to create and publish rotas for both their venues and send automated email reminders. And finally we put all their churchyard's graves into an online searchable database - a "grave" task, one might say.
Smaller churches still in "recovery" phase...
What do you do when a year of remote church services has swept away your youth and children's works and your community ministries have been forced to close? So many smaller churches around Britain have lost what seems to be all their ministry activity and are struggling to rebuild.
To help churches while they pick themselves up again, we now offer a single-page website option for a reduced price of £400. The church can still edit all its content and the background structure allows for easy expansion in due time. In some cases a church has paid the price for a full site and will not have any more to pay when their single page turns into a flourishing multi-page site. Below are two examples of single-page "intermediate" sites we have completed...
From one of our clients...
"I was introduced to Nick Gray by my Pastor when I was desperately looking for a Web developer. I sent Nick a text on a weekend and he responded straight away. He supported me throughout the difficult challenges with my previous website and redesigned a brand new site for me from scratch.
"Nick is an amazing man, has great sense of humour, patient, good listener, works to detail with every interaction given and above all loves God. I am extremely pleased with his dedicated support and guidance. He is the man you should contact if you need a reliable person to design an attractive and fast webpage."
