A twenty-page website your ministry owns outright.
$2,500, once. We move your existing site and your email. Two rounds of revisions. You approve every stage — and when it’s done, it’s yours.
What you get for $2,500
A custom twenty-page website — designed for your ministry, written with you, built by hand. Not a template with your logo dropped in the corner.
Most church websites are one of two things. Either a template that four thousand other churches are also using, or a site somebody’s nephew built in 2014 that nobody has been able to touch since.
Yours will be neither.
Every FitlyBuilt site is hand-built. That means it loads fast, works properly on a phone, reads correctly to someone using a screen reader, and doesn’t break because a plugin updated itself at three in the morning. It’s built once, built right, and built to sit still and do its job for years.
What counts as a page?
Anything a visitor lands on. Your home page. Who you are, what you believe, when you gather. Each ministry you run — youth, women’s, recovery, missions. Your staff. Your giving page. Directions and what to expect on a first visit. Sermons. Events. Contact.
Twenty pages is enough room for a real church to be fully and honestly present online. If your ministry only needs eight, we build eight. Twenty is the ceiling, not a quota. The intake form is where we map it together, and what we agree on there is what gets built.
Who writes the words?
We do — with you, not at you.
You fill out an intake form. It asks the questions that matter: who you are, who you’re trying to reach, what makes your church your church. Then we write the site, and you edit it.
You are never handed a blank page and told to “send us your content.” That request is the reason half the church websites on earth have been almost finished for two years.
You approve every word before it goes live.
How the build works
Four steps. Intake, build, two rounds of revisions, launch. You approve every stage — nothing goes live that you haven’t blessed.
Intake
One form and one conversation. We learn your ministry, your people, and what the site actually needs to do.
Build
We design it, write it, build it. You see it on a private preview link before anyone else does.
Revisions
Two full rounds, included. You mark up whatever you want changed. Most churches never use the second round.
Launch
We move your domain, your content, and your email. Nothing goes dark. Then it’s live, and it’s yours.
What do you actually need from us?
Your logo, if you have one. Your photos, if you have them — and if you don’t, we work with what you’ve got. Your service times, your staff, and honest answers on the intake form.
That’s it. You don’t need a content plan, a brand guide, or a volunteer who knows web design. If your church had those, you wouldn’t be reading this page.
How much of our time will this take?
Hours, not weeks. The intake form takes about forty-five minutes to fill out honestly. The call is thirty minutes. Reviewing the preview takes an evening.
The honest variable is your side of the calendar — boards meet when boards meet, and committees take the time they take. We respect that. We will never promise a launch date your leadership hasn’t blessed.
We move your site, and your email
Included in the $2,500. Your existing content comes over. Your email keeps working. Nothing goes dark.
This is the part that stops most churches from ever switching — and it isn’t the price. It’s the fear. The fear that on some Tuesday the website vanishes. Or worse, that pastor@yourchurch.org quietly stops receiving mail, and nobody notices for three days.
That doesn’t happen here, because we do this part carefully and we do it last.
Will our email go down?
No. Your email is moved with the same care as the site: mailboxes copied first, verified, and only then switched over. Your existing messages come with you.
And if your church doesn’t have proper email yet — if you’re still running the ministry out of a personal Gmail — you get it. Real addresses at your own domain, included in the $250 a year.
What happens to our old content?
It comes with you. We don’t throw away twenty years of a church’s history because the website it lived on was ugly. We bring your content over, clean it up, and rewrite what needs rewriting so it’s clear, current, and sounds like you.
If there’s something you’d rather leave behind, you say so and we leave it behind. Your call, every time.
Own it, or rent it forever
A $97-a-month website costs your church $1,164 every year, forever — and the day you stop paying, you have nothing. This is $2,500 once, and it’s yours.
You know the pitch. Beautiful templates, drag and drop, live by the weekend. What isn’t on their pricing page is that you are not buying a website. You are renting one. Stop paying and it’s gone — the design, the pages, the words your pastor wrote. It belonged to them the whole time.
Here’s the actual arithmetic, run honestly:
| Year | Subscription @ $97/mo | FitlyBuilt |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $1,164 | $2,750 |
| Year 2 | $2,328 | $3,000 |
| Year 3 | $3,492 | $3,250 |
| Year 5 | $5,820 | $3,750 |
| Year 10 | $11,640 | $5,000 |
The break-even lands just under three years. Past that, their site costs your church $1,164 every year and yours costs $250 — and by year ten you’ve spent less than half as much and you own the thing outright.
But will our site still be around in ten years?
Church websites don’t live three years. They live ten.
A church has better things to do than rebuild its website every eighteen months — and it should have better things to do. Ministry wins that argument every week, and it wins it rightly. That isn’t a flaw in this plan. That is the plan.
Build it once. Build it right. Let it work.
The full, board-ready breakdown — it’s all on the Pricing page.
Built so AI can find you
Every FitlyBuilt site is structured so search engines — and the AI assistants people now ask instead of searching — can read it, understand it, and recommend it. That isn’t an add-on. It’s how we build.
Something changed in the last two years, and most churches haven’t caught up to it.
A family moves to your town. They don’t just open Google and type churches near me anymore. They open ChatGPT, or Gemini, or the AI answer now sitting at the top of every Google search, and they ask a real question:
“Find me a church near Kissimmee with a Spanish service and something for a four-year-old.”
And an AI answers. It names two or three churches.
It either names yours, or it doesn’t.
What decides it is whether an AI can actually read your site and find a clear, quotable answer. Most church websites can’t be read that way — the service times are inside a photo, the ministries live on a Facebook page, and the “about us” was written for a church that has grown a great deal since.
So we build differently. Every page answers a real question, in the first sentence, in plain words. Your service times, your location, your ministries, what to expect on a first visit — all written where a machine can find them and a person can trust them. The structure underneath tells search engines and AI systems exactly what your church is, where it is, and who it serves.
That’s included in the $2,500. No upsell, no asterisk. We don’t know how to build a site that can’t be found.
Is this the same thing as SEO?
It’s the foundation of it. Getting the site built right is step one — the part you can’t skip and can’t bolt on later.
What comes after — watching which AI engines actually recommend you, publishing the answers people are asking for, going after the citation — is a separate, ongoing engagement. It’s paid work. It’s priced to what your ministry actually needs, and every deliverable is itemized in writing before a dollar moves.
We don’t discuss it until your site is live and you’ve lived with it a while. If you get there, here’s how that works.
And if you never do, your site is still built right.
Who keeps it updated?
You email us. We make the change. Content updates are included in the $250 a year — no dashboard to learn, no login to lose, no volunteer to chase.
Here is how it usually goes.
Somebody hands the church a login and says “it’s easy — you can update it yourselves!” And for about four months, that’s true. Then the volunteer who knew how moves to another state. The password goes with them. A plugin breaks. And the site quietly freezes in place, while the church it was built for keeps growing and changing every week since.
That is not a failure of care. It’s a failure of the model. A church that chooses people over pixels has its priorities in the right order. The website was never supposed to be your job.
Every frozen church website on the internet began as a site somebody was going to keep updated.
So we’re not going to hand you a chore and call it a feature. You email us, we make the change, it’s done. That’s what the $250 is for.
What’s included, and what isn’t?
Included in the $250 a year: your words, your photos, your service times, staff changes, new events, sermon links — the ordinary, living updates a growing church actually needs.
Not included: new pages beyond your twenty, new sections, a redesign, or new functionality. Those are real work, and we quote them at $150 an hour — in writing, before we start, never billed by surprise.
And you still own all of it. The domain, the code, the words. It’s plain, standard HTML — no proprietary platform, no locked format. If you ever decide to go elsewhere, we hand you every file and any developer on earth can pick it up in an afternoon.
You own the website. You’re paying for the builder.

Four live builds. Every one of them is in service right now.
We don’t have a gallery of concepts. We have sites that churches and businesses are using today. Click through them, poke at them on your phone, read them.
Frequently asked questions
It never is, and that’s fine. Nobody’s content is ready — that’s precisely why churches stall for two years. The intake form is the content plan. You answer questions about your ministry, we do the writing, and you approve it. You don’t need to author anything.
No — and here’s the honest reason. The $2,500 is the price of the build, not a per-page charge. If your ministry needs eight pages, we build eight excellent ones instead of twenty padded ones. You’re paying for the craft, not the count.
Yes. If you have a logo, colors, or a denominational style guide you’re required to follow, we build inside it. If you don’t have any of that, we’ll make something that looks like your church and not like a stock photo.
You’ll have seen it before it’s public — on a private preview link, at every stage. Two full rounds of revisions are included, and nothing launches until you say launch. If we’re still not there after two rounds, additional changes are $150/hour, quoted in writing first.
No — churches, missions organizations, ministries, and faith-based nonprofits. If the work you do is Kingdom work, this is built for you.
Let’s talk about your ministry’s next website.
No pressure. No pitch. Just a conversation between Kingdom workers.
