BUILT / for the house

The method

Six weeks. One Sunday on-site.
A site you'd build a sermon series around.

The studio method, end to end. No surprises, no shifting scope, no "we'll get to that in phase two." This is how every BUILT engagement runs.

  1. [ 01 ]

    Week 1

    Taste discovery

    We start in your inbox, not on a Zoom. A short taste-discovery form — palette family, font feel, layout density — plus a Tinder-style 'vote on church sites' that maps to one of our thirteen design themes. By Friday you'll know what your site is going to feel like, before we've designed a pixel.

    Output: a one-page brief signed off by the lead pastor. We don't move to design without it.

  2. [ 02 ]

    Weeks 2–3

    Custom design

    Bespoke design in a system. We pull your taste brief into a real design system — colors, type, spacing, components — and design every page in it. You'll see three desktop directions in week two, narrow to one, and the full site in week three.

    Two real rounds of revisions. We're done when you'd be proud to send it to your sharpest friend.

  3. [ 03 ]

    A Sunday

    On-site photo shoot

    We spend a Sunday with you. Worship, kids check-in, fellowship hall, the pastor preaching, families lingering after service. Real faces, real light, real building. The shoot is what makes the site stop looking like a stock-photo brochure and start looking like your church.

    You keep every original. Edited and color-graded library delivered within two weeks of the shoot.

  4. [ 04 ]

    Weeks 4–6

    Build & integrate

    We build the site on a fast, modern foundation and wire it to your Planning Center account. Sermons appear on your site from PCO Publishing. Events from PCO Calendar. Give and registration buttons send people straight to your Church Center page. Money stays where it is. Member data stays where it is.

    Sub-second page loads. Native AI sermon search. Auto-deploy on publish. Strikingly accessible.

  5. [ 05 ]

    Week 7

    Editor handoff

    Your team takes the keys. We hand off a content editor any volunteer can run — point-and-click edits on the parts you actually change. Plus a one-page runbook, a 20-minute walkthrough video, and a real human at the studio for the first ninety days.

    If a volunteer can use Instagram, they can run this. Pinky promise.

What you get

The deliverables, in plain English.

  • A custom site, not a theme

    Designed page-by-page in your church's voice. Sub-second loads, accessible by every device, fast on the worst church Wi-Fi.

  • An on-site photo library

    200–400 edited photos from your Sunday shoot, owned by you, licensed for any future use. Faces of your church, not iStock.

  • Planning Center, properly wired

    Sermons, events, giving, forms, directory — all live through PCO. Your money and member data stay where they already live.

  • The Sunday Engine, on by default

    Auto study guides, post-service YouTube kit, worship playlists, weekly newsletter. One sermon in, a week of ministry out.

  • A volunteer-friendly editor

    A content editor with only the fields your team actually touches. A one-page runbook and a 20-minute walkthrough video. Nothing they can break.

  • Ninety days of studio support

    A real human, in our queue, for the first three months. After that, an optional retainer — small, honest, monthly.
