Louisville Churches: Your Doors Are Open Every Sunday. Your Website Should Be Open Every Day.
I'm Hunter, your Louisville Web Guy. There are over 1,000 churches in the Louisville metro area. Most of them have websites that haven't been updated since 2017. Service times are wrong, the pastor listed left years ago, and the events page shows a fish fry from 2019. I fix that. Hand-coded, fast, welcoming sites built to help your congregation grow.

Sound Familiar?
"We don't really have a website."
You've been running on the church sign out front and word of mouth for years. It works for members who already know you. But when a family moves to Louisville for a job at UofL or one of the bourbon distilleries, they're Googling "churches near me." They're not driving around looking at signs.
"Our website still lists the old pastor."
Someone built the site years ago. The phone number might be wrong. The events page shows a potluck from 2021. The youth pastor who left three years ago is still front and center. It's not a great first impression for someone looking for a church home.
"New families can't find us when they search."
You have a website, but when someone searches "church in the Highlands Louisville" or "Baptist church St. Matthews," you're nowhere. The churches with better websites show up. Better website, not better ministry. That's the frustrating part.
"Every little change costs money and takes forever."
VBS registration is next month and you need a signup form. The old web person hasn't returned your emails in weeks. By the time the form goes up, registration is half over. You need someone who picks up the phone.
A Family Moved to Louisville and Couldn't Find a Single Church Online
Think about this. A family relocates to Louisville. Dad got a new job. Mom is looking for a church for the kids. She searches "family-friendly church Louisville KY." What comes up? Big churches with big budgets and professional websites. The small community church two blocks from their new house in Portland? Invisible. Their website loads slow, has no service times on the homepage, and the last blog post is from 2020.
That family ends up at the church with the better website, not necessarily the better fit. I've seen this happen over and over. Your ministry might be exactly what they need, but if they can't find you in four seconds of scrolling, they move on.
One Page for Everything Means Google Ranks You for Nothing
Most church websites have a single "About" page and maybe a "Ministries" dropdown that lists everything in a wall of text. Youth group, small groups, women's ministry, food pantry, VBS, missions, worship schedule. All crammed into one page or buried under three layers of menus nobody clicks.
Google sees that and has no idea what to rank it for. I build a separate page for each key area of your church. "Youth ministry Louisville KY." "Sunday worship Shively." "Church food pantry Portland Louisville." Each page targets the exact searches real people type into Google. Each one can rank on its own.
Your church sign on Bardstown Road works great for people driving by. But Google is where the calls come from when a family in Germantown is looking for a Wednesday night Bible study or a mom in J-Town needs a VBS program for her kids this summer.
Here's How I Actually Work With Churches
You call or text me.
5 minutes. Tell me about your church, what programs you run, and what's frustrating you about your current website (or lack of one). If you don't need my help, I'll tell you.
I learn about your congregation.
What are families actually searching for in your area? What are nearby churches doing online? Where are the gaps? I pull real search data for your neighborhood and denomination so we build with purpose, not guesses.
I build your site.
Hand-coded. Not a template. Service times front and center, clickable address that opens in Google Maps, online giving, event info, and a design that feels welcoming. Live in 1-2 weeks. You review it with your team and we tweak until it's right.
You stop worrying about it.
I handle hosting, updates, and maintenance. New pastor? Text me. VBS registration opening? I'll add the form. Christmas Eve service schedule? Updated the same day. Your office staff has enough on their plate without learning WordPress.

Straight answers about church websites in Louisville
How much does a church website cost?
I offer three plans. Starter is $150/month (plus a one-time setup from $950) and gets you a professional church website with service times, location, contact info, and mobile optimization. Pro is $275/month (setup from $950) and adds ongoing SEO so new families find you on Google. Already have a site that needs fixing? Website Rescue starts at $150 for a full diagnostic.
How long does it take to build a church website?
Most church websites are live within 1-2 weeks. You send me your service times, location, staff info, and photos. I build it. You review it with your team and we tweak. Done.
We're a small church with a tight budget. Can we still afford this?
Yes. The Starter plan is $150/month with a one-time setup from $950. That's less than most churches spend on bulletin printing in a year. And unlike a bulletin, your website works 24/7 reaching people who are looking for a church home right now.
Will our church show up on Google?
Every site I build has SEO built into the foundation. The Pro plan includes Google Business Profile management, ongoing keyword research, and monthly optimization so your church shows up for searches like "churches near me Louisville" and "Baptist church St. Matthews KY."
Can you add online giving to our website?
Absolutely. I can integrate your existing giving platform (Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Givelify, or whatever you use) directly into your site so members can give online with one tap. If you don't have a giving platform yet, I can help you pick one that fits your church size.
Nobody on our staff knows how to update a website. Is that a problem?
Not at all. That's the whole point. You don't touch any technology. New pastor? Text me. VBS registration opening up? Send me the details. Christmas Eve service schedule? I'll update it. Your church office has enough to handle without learning WordPress.
Can you help us livestream our services?
I can embed your YouTube or Facebook Live stream directly on your website so members and visitors can watch from the same place they find your service times. I don't handle the camera and streaming equipment side, but I make sure the online experience is smooth.
Do you work with churches outside Louisville?
I do. My bread and butter is Louisville churches, but if your congregation needs help, geography is not a dealbreaker. Call me and we'll figure it out.
Ready to Be the First Church Louisville Finds Online?
New families are searching for a church home in Louisville every single week. Make sure your doors are open online, too. Call or text me. I'll look at what you've got, tell you what I'd do, and give you a straight answer on pricing. No pitch. No pressure.
