The service

A free custom website, with a paid hosting plan.

One straightforward offer: I personally art-direct, design, and build your church a custom website for free — the same senior creative eye agencies charge five figures for — then host it, maintain it, update it, and keep it visible in local and AI search — all on one simple monthly plan. No big build bill, no setup fee, no volunteer stuck wrestling with a website builder.

Best for small and mid-size churches, church plants & ministries that need a warm, credible website without a big build budget or a volunteer maintaining it on the side.

Everything included
$99/mo
Flat rate — never goes up
  • Custom 7-page church website
  • Mobile-friendly responsive design
  • Managed hosting
  • SSL & security
  • Plan-a-visit & contact form
  • Task board access
  • Content-only updates
  • Client-provided blog posting

One honest exclusion: Versify Interactive does not build ecommerce stores, shopping carts, or custom giving/checkout systems. I will gladly link your site to the giving platform you already use — Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Givelify, Subsplash. Need member portals, event registration, or a sermon archive? Tell me what you need and I will scope it honestly as a custom project.

How it works

Exactly how the free website works.

No setup fee. No surprise charges. No fine print. Here's every step — and every dollar — laid out plainly.

  1. Apply & map it out

    Tell me about your church. We confirm scope, pages & fit. Free to talk — no commitment.

  2. I art-direct & build

    A custom 7-page site, art-directed around your church — your photos, your story, your voice. Never a template, never outsourced. Your team reviews and gives feedback.

  3. We launch

    Hosting, SSL, contact form & basic SEO setup — all handled. The build is free; your hosting plan begins.

  4. Need a change? Use the task board

    Submit content updates anytime through your task board — a new sermon series, an event, a staff change. I make the changes and have them live within 24–48 hours.

Your task board

Something changed? Just post it.

New service times. A new associate pastor. A photo from Sunday. You post the request on your board and watch it move across to done — usually within 24 to 48 hours. No logins to remember, no page builder to learn, no volunteer stuck fixing the website on a Tuesday night.

  • In review

Getting found

How families actually find a church today.

A family moves to town, or decides this is the year. Almost none of them start by driving past your building — they start by asking. Here are the three places that question gets answered.

01 — Google & Maps
"Churches near me"

Still the front door. Google needs your service times, address, and denomination in a form it can read — not baked into an image or buried on a PDF.

02 — AI answers
"A church with kids ministry?"

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini now answer that directly. They quote pages that answer plainly and are marked up clearly — that is what AEO means.

03 — The look-you-up
"Would we fit here?"

Then they open your site on a phone, Saturday night. Time, place, what to expect, and a face — in seconds, or they keep scrolling.

Local search & AI visibility

Not an add-on, not a setup fee, not a phase two. It is built in at launch and tended every month, for every church I build for.

✓ Included in your $99/mo
Built in at launch
  • Page titles, meta descriptions & clean URLs
  • Church, service-time, location & event schema
  • Google Business Profile claimed & optimized
  • Local citations & directory listings cleaned up
  • Answer pages built from real visitor questions
  • AI crawler access (llms.txt, robots, sitemap)
Tended every month
  • Service times & hours kept in sync everywhere
  • Google Business Profile posts & photo upkeep
  • Schema regenerated as events and sermons change
  • Search Console watched for errors and drops
  • Seasonal pages ready before Christmas and Easter
  • A plain-English report on how you are showing up

This comes with every church site I build — I can only keep a site visible if I am the one maintaining it, so it is part of the plan rather than something to buy later. See the plan

The human behind it

Hi, I'm Aaron.

Designer, developer, and art director — I've spent 15+ years helping organizations look good and grow — churches and ministries among them, alongside fintech, SaaS, law, and real estate.

When you work with Versify Interactive, you work with me — not an account manager, not a rotating cast of freelancers. I bring senior creative judgment to every decision, and I stick around after launch to keep your site working week after week.

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Ask a question
How does the free website actually work?

The website itself — a custom 7-page church website, art-directed and built by me personally — is free to build; there is no build fee and no setup fee. What you pay for is the hosting & care plan: a flat $99/month, billed monthly starting with your first payment, for hosting, technical care, task board access, and content updates. It stays $99/month every year — no first-year premium and no increase.

Does the $99/month price ever go up?

No. The plan is a flat $99/month and it stays there, every year going forward — no first-year premium, no renewal hike, no surprise increases. That flat rate keeps covering hosting, technical care, task board access, and content updates for as long as you stay.

What kind of website do I get with the free website offer?

A custom 7-page church website — typically Home, About, Plan Your Visit, Ministries, Events, Sermons or Blog, and Contact. We map the exact pages together based on what your church actually needs.

What is not included in the free website offer?

It does not include ecommerce or checkout systems, a custom online giving platform, member portals, event registration systems, custom dashboards, advanced integrations, copywriting, ongoing SEO campaigns, or monthly analytics/reporting. Linking the giving platform you already use is included at no extra cost.

Is getting found in search an extra cost?

No. It is part of the $99/month, for every church. That covers the setup — titles, schema, sitemap, Search Console, Google Business Profile, local citations, and answer pages — and the ongoing upkeep: service times kept in sync everywhere, profile posts, schema as events change, and a plain-English monthly report. There is no separate SEO invoice and no setup fee.

Can you connect our online giving?

Yes. I will link your site to the giving platform you already use — Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Givelify, Subsplash, and the like — so giving is one clear click away on every page it belongs on. What I do not build is a custom checkout or payment system of my own.

What if we need something more advanced than a 7-page church website?

Then we scope it as a custom project, priced individually. Those builds may include member portals, event registration, sermon libraries, advanced CMS structures, directories, automations, ChMS and giving integrations, and other advanced features.

Do I own the website?

Yes — the website is yours. It simply continues at a flat $99/month, every year going forward, with hosting, technical care, task board access, and content updates still included. Ownership and transfer terms are clearly defined in your client agreement before anything begins.

Do you work with churches of any size or denomination?

Yes. I work with small and mid-size congregations, church plants, and ministries across denominations. The offer is the same for all of them — the design, the words, and the structure are shaped around your church, not a category.

Who updates service times, events, and sermons?

I do. Send the update through your task board — new service times, an event, a staff photo, this weekend sermon — and it is live within 24 to 48 hours. No volunteer needs to learn a website builder.

Who actually designs and builds my site?

I do — personally, start to finish. Every layout, every type choice, every line of the build. Not a template, not a junior designer, not an outsourced team. That is the whole point.
