What a Great Church Website Actually Needs in 2026

About this episode

This episode discusses the essential elements a church website needs in 2026 to effectively welcome visitors and improve user experience.

Your church website is open around the clock and right now it is either welcoming first-time visitors or sending them somewhere else without you even knowing it. In this episode we get practical and specific about what a great church website actually needs in 2026. The conversation covers everything from homepage design and hero sections to mobile experience, Plan Your Visit pages, photography audits, and affordable solutions for smaller churches with limited budgets. If your website was built for the people already in your seats instead of the people you are trying to reach, this episode will give you a clear and actionable path to change that fast.
