Our process

Your flight plan,
start to orbit.

Four phases on one trajectory. We plan around your people, build a site they can run, train them until they're confident, then stay close while your team flies. Need it fast? We can launch as soon as this week.

Phase 01

Mission Planning

Your mission. Your course.

You set the course · We map itUsYour team

It starts with your people, not our templates. We learn your goals, your content, and how your staff actually works, then plan a site your team will be able to run. Together we agree on the structure and design direction before a single page is built.

  • Goals, audiences, and next steps for visitors
  • Content and feature inventory
  • Who on your staff will run what
  • Site map and design direction, agreed together
Included in build
Phase 02

Build & Launch

Built for your team to fly.

We build · You shape itUsYour team

We design and build your site and a CMS shaped around the people who will use it every week. You review, we refine, we test, and we launch. On a tight timeline, you can be live as soon as this week.

  • Custom design, built from scratch
  • A CMS built around your staff, not the other way around
  • Search and AI-discovery foundations built in
  • Review rounds, testing, and launch
From $2,200 for a five-page site
Phase 03

Mission Control

We hand you the controls.

You take the controls · We coachUsYour team

After launch, you have our full attention. We're on call, training your staff on real updates, refining the site as you learn what your church needs, and tuning search and AI visibility, committed to making it run exactly the way you want. Month to month, until your team is confident.

  • Our full attention, always on call
  • Hands-on training with your own content
  • Refinements as your needs become clear
  • Search and AI-visibility tuning

Questions.

Is every plan customizable?

Yes. Every phase can be shaped to fit your church. Some churches want a longer Mission Control season, some need extra features at launch, and some are ready for Orbit sooner. We set the plan together during Mission Planning.

Can our staff update the site without you?

That's the whole point. Every phase hands your team more of the controls: we plan around who will run the site, build the CMS for them, and train them during Mission Control. By Orbit, your team runs everyday updates on its own, and we're still here whenever you need us.

Who are you?

We're the team that built preachly.io, the platform that puts this week's message, notes, and Scripture on every phone in the room. thisweek.church is where we design, build, and maintain custom websites for churches.

How fast can you launch a church website?

As soon as this week when your church needs it. On a tight timeline we compress planning and build, launch, then keep refining together during Mission Control. When you have more time, a fuller Mission Planning phase lets us go deeper. We'll help you choose the pace that fits.

What happens after Mission Control?

Most churches move into Orbit: hosting, routine technical maintenance, and limited help while your team handles everyday content. If you need more support, we can extend Mission Control instead.

Do you offer referral credit?

Yes. For every church you refer that keeps an active subscription, we take $10 a month off your ongoing bill, for as long as they stay. You can see how it changes your monthly cost on our pricing page.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what your church needs, and you can see it live on our pricing page: choose your pages, revision rounds, CMS, features, and launch timeline, and the estimate updates as you go. A five-page build starts around $2,200, Mission Control is $250 a month, and hosting starts at $65 a month. SEO and AI discoverability are always included.
