At BOTH/AND, we specialize in creating beautiful, functional websites tailored specifically for Orthodox churches. Here’s how our simple, streamlined process works:
1. Initial Contact and Conversation
The first step is to contact us. Once you reach out, we’ll reply to start an initial conversation to determine if we’re the right fit for your church’s needs. Our focus is on partnering with churches that are committed to:
- Sharing their faith with the local community.
- Engaging visitors through tools like forms for asking faith-related questions, scheduling coffee with the priest, or submitting prayer requests.
If your church shares this vision, we’re excited to move forward. If not, that’s perfectly fine—there’s no judgment, and we’re happy to recommend other resources for a simple website redesign.
2. Secure Your Spot with a Setup Fee
Once we’ve determined we’re a good fit, you’ll receive an email requesting payment of a $75 setup fee. This fee officially reserves your place in our development queue, which operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The setup fee covers:
- Migrating your current site (or setting up a new one) on our servers.
- Copying content as needed.
Paying this fee guarantees your spot and begins the process of developing your website. Once the site is ready to launch, you’ll receive an additional invoice for recurring subscription fees.
3. Choose Your Base Theme
Browse our collection of themes designed specifically for Orthodox churches. Each theme combines beauty and functionality to meet your needs. Once you’ve found the perfect design, we’ll start tailoring it to your parish.
4. Customize Your Look
Our themes are designed to be simple and ready to use with default configurations that include pre-selected colors, fonts, and layouts. These defaults ensure your website looks polished and professional right from the start.
For personalization, you can:
- Choose from six typography variations to match your church’s personality.
- Select from six pre-designed color schemes to align with your church’s aesthetic.
Our themes are built to maintain simplicity and functionality, ensuring a seamless experience for your parish.
5. Tailor Your Content
While much of the demo content is ready to use, you can:
- Update or revise existing text and images.
- Add new pages or sections unique to your parish’s needs.
Simply provide us with the changes, and we’ll handle the updates on a staging site for you to review and approve before going live.
6. Review and Approve
Collaborate with us to ensure the website meets your expectations. Once you’re satisfied, we’ll finalize everything and prepare for launch.
7. Subscription and Launch
When your site is ready to go live, choose a billing option:
- $50/month
- $500/year (save $100 with the annual plan).
We’ll handle recurring payments through Stripe for a hassle-free experience. If you already have a domain, we’ll assist you in pointing it to our servers for a seamless transition.
This comprehensive process ensures your new website is designed with purpose, tailored to your mission, and ready to make an impact in your local community.
