Get started with a new custom website in five easy steps:
1: Select A Domain Name
To start, you’ll need to identify up to three (3) domain names (in order of preference) for your new website. We ask for more than one because one or more could be taken. So, let’s say your church’s name is: God Is Good Church. Ideal domains should include:
GodIsGood.Org
GodIsGoodChurch.Org
GIGC.Org
Your domain will be your new website’s permanent identifying “web address,” so be sure the name you select best describes your church or ministry — whether full or abbreviated. Important: If you would like for us to purchase a domain name for you, please click here to cover the domain purchase for one year. Note: Be sure to include your desired domain name when prompted.
2: Identify Web Pages
This is a listing of the pages you’d like to have featured on your website. Some typical pages include:
Home
About Us
Pastor’s Page
Prayer Requests
Ministries
Contact Us
Additional pages (ex. Gallery, Church Calendar) are welcome.
Note: Some pages/features are not available for all plans. Click here to view + compare plans and availability.
3: Compile Your Web Page Content
This is the actual content or verbiage you’d like to share, per page, on your new website. Generally, this would include:
Church Welcome
Pastor’s Bio
Services
Church History
Contact Info
Important: Providing a Church Logo, if applicable, and any accompanying pictures to display throughout are strongly encouraged but not required. If you do not have accompanying pictures to provide, please visit our store to learn more about Picture Perfect.
4: Choose Your Web Design
Subscribers can choose their own custom theme or design for their new website.
Here’s how:
I. Send us up to three (3) different links to example websites that you like currently. No site is too big or small.
II. Be sure to include what you like about each website. This can include: functionality, design, navigation, fluidity, etc.
III. Our design team will then review the submissions and communicate which option would best fit your ministry/content.
IV. We will then design and build/develop your new custom website with those noted references in mind and utilize them as loosely-based inspiration.
Some websites, pages and features are not applicable for all subscribers.

No Start-Up or Hosting Costs
Pewple subscribers do not have to pay hundreds or even thousands in start-up costs for a custom website and professional online experience! Pewple subscribers do not have to pay any of the monthly hosting fees that generally accompany a professional website, either. Your general online presence, site maintenance, backups, content updates (concierge), storage and more are all included with your subscription.
SSL Certificate
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a website and encrypts information sent to the server using SSL technology. Encryption is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key.
A certificate serves as an electronic “passport” that establishes an online entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the user’s browser accesses the server’s digital certificate and establishes a secure connection.
Website Speed Boost
It’s all in the name: “Website Speed Boost.” In other words, your site will be f a s t!
People visiting your website have busy lives… they don’t have the time to wait for slow websites to load.
Mobile Responsiveness
Responsive web design is a distinct approach to web development with the succinct aim to ensure an optimal viewing experience (i.e.; easy readability and navigational access with little to no viewer resizing, panning and scrolling needed) across a wide range of devices from desktop computers and tablets to mobile phones.
Google implemented a search algorithm which favors mobile responsive websites. And you’re covered.

Email forwarding allows you to create You@MyChurch.Org and any email correspondences sent to that email address will be automatically “forwarded” to your original email address (You@GMail.Com) in real-time.
