Church websites for parishes that can run them themselves.

A parish website has a job to do: tell people when the service is on, let them find you, and let the parish office keep it current without paying a developer for every text change.

What a church website has to get right.

What a parish website actually has to get right

  • Service times that are never out of date, because the office can edit them in seconds.
  • Being found when someone new to the suburb searches for a church nearby.
  • Working properly for older parishioners — real text sizes, high contrast, keyboard and screen-reader support.
  • News, rosters and events that a volunteer can update, not just a developer.
  • Respecting the difference between what the congregation sees and what the public sees.

Every page is a real page

Many modern website builders produce a single app shell, so a search engine only ever really sees the home page and the individual pages never rank. Every page here is built as its own indexable page with its own title, its own description, its own structured data and its own entry in the sitemap — so your service times page, your ministries page and your contact page can each be found on their own.

Public and congregation-only events

Not every event belongs on the public internet. Events carry a visibility setting, so a working bee or a pastoral meeting stays internal while the Christmas service, the fete and the carols reach Google, Google Maps and the search results as properly structured event listings.

Accessible to everyone in the pews

Sites are built to WCAG 2.2 AA — colour contrast checked pair by pair, headings in real order, visible focus for keyboard users, and layouts that still work at 200% zoom or on a narrow phone screen. For a congregation that spans every age group, this is not optional.

The parish stays in control

The parish keeps ownership of its own domain name throughout. Content is edited through a simple admin area, with no per-change fees and no waiting on a developer. Hosting, HTTPS security, backups and updates are included in one predictable monthly cost, with no build fee to get started, and reduced partnership rates for churches and not-for-profit organisations.

What’s included

  • Custom design matched to the parish’s own identity and colours.
  • Unlimited pages and a self-editing content area for staff and volunteers.
  • Events and news, with public and congregation-only visibility.
  • Contact and enquiry forms, plus giving and payment links where wanted.
  • Google-ready structured data for the organisation, the location and public events.
  • A sitemap and search-engine setup done properly from day one.
  • Ongoing support from Darwin, included in the monthly plan.

Parish questions, answered.

Do we need technical skills to update our church website?

No. Service times, news, events and page text are edited through a simple admin area designed for parish office staff and volunteers, with no code and no per-change fees.

Can we keep some events private to the congregation?

Yes. Every event has a visibility setting. Congregation-only events stay off the public site, out of the sitemap and out of the structured data sent to search engines.

Will our church show up on Google?

Every page is built as its own indexable page with its own title, description and structured data, and the site is submitted to search engines with a proper sitemap. Public events are marked up so they can appear as event listings.

Do we own our domain name?

Yes. The parish keeps ownership of and control over its domain name throughout, and the site is pointed at it.

How much does a church website cost?

There is no build fee. Churches and not-for-profits are offered reduced partnership rates on a predictable monthly cost that covers hosting, security, updates and support. Get in touch for a quote for your parish.
