For churches · English & French
I build and look after church websites that tell newcomers what they need to know: when to come, what to expect, where to park and what's on for children. Your team sends me the changes, or updates it themselves in minutes.
Fixed prices set for church budgets. Live in 2 weeks. No long contract.
The problem
Last year's Christmas services are still on the home page. Visitors can't tell if the times are right, so they don't risk it.
The person who built it has moved on, nobody has the login, and every change waits weeks.
The church office is open a few mornings a week. Calls about weddings, baptisms and funerals go unanswered.
What your church gets
Service times, what happens, how long it lasts, parking, access and children's groups. The questions newcomers are too shy to ask.
Services, groups, courses and seasonal events in one list that drops off old dates automatically.
Recent sermons and your livestream on one page, linked from YouTube or your podcast feed.
A clear "Give" button connected to the giving provider you already use, or help choosing one.
Simple enquiry pages so families reach the right person without chasing the office.
Send me changes by email or text, or I'll train two volunteers to update service times and notices themselves.
How it works
We agree what the site needs to say and who will look after it. You send photos and your service details.
You get a preview link to share with your leadership team, and one round of changes.
I keep it running and make your updates each month, so it never goes stale again.
Prices for churches
Founding rate: the first 3 churches get these prices. After that the setup goes up to £595 and £1,095.
For smaller churches that need a clear, trustworthy home online.
For growing churches with groups, events and talks online.
Add-ons for the church office
For churches where the office phone isn't staffed every day.
Monthly plans run month to month after the first 3 months. Your church owns its website and domain. Giving provider fees are charged by the provider, not by me. Prices are in pounds sterling. Ask if you'd like a quote in euros or dollars.
Why not do it ourselves?
| DIY church website builder | Bonvenio | |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds it | A volunteer, in their spare time | Me, in 2 weeks |
| Who keeps it up to date | Whoever has the login | Me, with your team sending changes |
| Newcomer page and Google profile | If someone thinks of it | Included and written with you |
| When something breaks | Support tickets | Text me and I fix it |
Why Bonvenio
Chaque accueil compte.
Bonvenio is inspired by bon, French for "good", and bienvenue, "welcome". Behind every visit to your website is someone deciding whether to walk through your door. My job is to help them feel welcome before they arrive.

Who you're dealing with
I'm based in England and already help a women's ministry with its branding and documents. I know church teams are busy and mostly volunteers, so I keep things simple: one person to contact, plain English, and no surprise bills.
I meet your minister, church council or leadership team on Google Meet or by phone, wherever you are. I build sites in English or French, so French-speaking and bilingual churches are very welcome.
Questions
Yes. On the Church Hub I train two people to change service times, notices and events. Or just send me the changes and I'll do them.
Yes. I connect the giving provider you already use, or help you choose one. Donations go straight to the church's account. I never handle the money.
Yes. If you stream to YouTube or publish a podcast, the latest talks appear on the site without anyone copying them over.
Yes. I build church websites in English, in French, or in both, with a language switch for bilingual congregations.
Forms only ask for what you need, and I add a privacy notice in plain English. Your safeguarding policy can sit on the site too, so people can find it.
Often, yes. I'll look at it on our first chat and tell you honestly whether it's worth keeping.
The church does. The domain is registered in the church's name, and if you ever move on I hand everything over.
Book a free 15-minute chat on Google Meet or by phone. I'll look at your current website and Google listing through a newcomer's eyes and tell you what I'd change.
