When It's Time to Redesign Your Church Website


Depending on who and what you read, you can find different opinions on how often you should redesign or refresh your website. If it’s a website design company, the answer is probably “six months ago.” They like the business, after all.

I don’t think you should have a timeframe for website redesigns, though. It’s an as needed event and also one that should be carried out with much planning and intentionality.

Church websites are more important than many people realize. Gone are the days when you can ask a youth group kid to quickly design a basic website that will meet the needs of your church.

A well-designed website is essential to reaching more people in your community.
