Church and nonprofit website cost
How much does a church website cost?
A church website costs $3,000 to $11,000 from a custom agency or $1,200 to $4,000 from a freelancer, as a one-time build. AtlasForge builds the finished church site free, shows it to you first, and charges $149 a month only to publish it on your domain.
A church website typically costs $3,000 to $11,000 from a custom agency, or $1,200 to $4,000 from a freelancer, as a one-time build. A DIY builder runs $150 to $700 a year and you build it yourself. AtlasForge builds the finished site free and charges $149 a month only to publish it.
The honest comparison.
Real market ranges for a church website, next to what AtlasForge charges. We do not pretend the other options are bad, they are real choices with real tradeoffs.
| Option | Typical cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Custom agency or dev shop | $3,000 to $11,000 | One-time build. Then hosting and changes are billed separately. |
| Freelancer or small studio | $1,200 to $4,000 | One-time build. Quality and follow-up vary widely. |
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | $150 to $700 a year | You build and maintain it yourself. Plan plus apps, every year. |
| AtlasForge | Free build, then $149 a month | We build the finished site free. You pay monthly only to publish and keep it live. |
What actually drives the price.
Giving integration and a volunteer-maintainable structure drive cost; a faith or nonprofit site balances welcome, mission, and ease of upkeep.
The biggest cost in a traditional church website is labour: discovery calls, design rounds, revisions, project management. AtlasForge replaces that with a pipeline, so the finished site is built within 48 hours and shown to you before you decide. The free build is the whole pitch.
