Need something custom? A designer, a timeline and a site built from a blank page. That is Emberline Studio custom sites, from $1,500.
How it works
Three steps. No meetings.
Pick a design and pay
Choose a template, enter your name and email, and pay $129 through Stripe. You get a sign-in link by email right away.
Finish the ten-minute setup
Church or ministry name, your name, where you are based, service times if you have them, contact email, logo, colors, YouTube channel, giving link, a few photos. Progress saves as you go.
Your site goes live
The moment you submit, we build and publish your site on your free Emberline address and email you when it is up. Connect your own domain whenever you are ready.
After that, edit anything from your portal. Sermons refresh from YouTube every week. Past events drop off at the weekly refresh. Form replies land in your inbox. You run the ministry. The site runs itself.
Plain speech
What is included, and what is not.
What is included
- One of fifteen original designs
Every page, every section, built by Emberline Studio. Your photos, words and colors make it yours. - Hosting, security and updates
Fast global hosting, HTTPS, and a site that rebuilds itself. Nothing for you to patch. - An editor that cannot break the layout
Change every word, photo, time and link. The design stays the design. - Forms that reach your inbox
Plan a visit, prayer, contact, booking and email list forms email your team and send a warm reply to the visitor. You see every submission in one inbox. - Sermons from YouTube, automatically
Paste your channel link once. New messages appear on your Watch or Media page every week. - Giving and live links
Paste the giving link you already use (Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Givelify, any provider) and your live-stream link. Every button reads from them. - Events that clean up after themselves
Add an event. After its date passes, it drops off at the next refresh. Sites refresh every Monday and every time you publish. - Your own domain
Launch on a free Emberline address, then connect your domain with a guided setup. Written steps for GoDaddy, Squarespace, Namecheap, Wix and most other hosts. - Privacy and accessibility pages
Included and already written for a church or ministry site. - Your content stays yours
Export your content any time. Cancel any time.
What is not
- Texting
Email only. No SMS, no carrier registration, no compliance headaches. - A mobile app or members portal
We make the front door. If you need an app or a member database, use a tool built for that and link to it. - Layout changes or custom sections
The design is locked on purpose. If you need a custom build, Emberline Studio does those separately. - Setup calls or revisions
Everything happens in your portal and the help library. We answer email within two business days.
We would rather tell you now than have you find out later. If you need any of these, you are better served elsewhere, and we will say so.

How Essentials compares
What you get for the price.
There are three common ways to get a church or ministry website: Essentials, a custom build with us, or building it yourself. Here is what each one costs in money and in time, and what it asks of you.
| What matters | Essentials | A custom build with us | Doing it yourself on a general-purpose website builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $129 a month, with every design included. | From $1,500, paid once. | Varies by builder and plan. |
| Time to live | The same day you finish the ten-minute setup. | Set per project, with a timeline agreed up front. | As long as it takes you to build and publish it. |
| Who designs it | One of fifteen designs built by Emberline Studio. You add your words, photos and colors. | A Studio designer builds it from a blank page. | You do, with the builder's own templates and tools. |
| The layout | Locked, so it cannot be broken. | Fully custom. | Fully open. You can change anything. |
| Support | Email, answered within two business days. | Per project, as agreed in the project terms. | Mostly community help and the builder's own guides. |
Essentials is the fixed-design way: fast and simple, with the layout locked. If you need a layout of your own, extra sections, a mobile app or a members portal, a custom build or a dedicated tool is the better fit, and we will say so.
Honest answers
Questions pastors ask.
Does my church need something custom?
Then Essentials is not the right tool, and Emberline Studio is. Studio builds custom church and ministry sites with a designer and a timeline, from $1,500. See custom sites at Emberline Studio.
Is this a custom website?
No. It is one of fifteen original designs that Emberline Studio built, with your words, photos, colors, times and links in it. The layout is locked so you can never break it. If you want a site designed from a blank page, that is a custom build at Emberline Studio, starting at $1,500.
How fast is "live the same day"?
Your site is built and published automatically after you finish the setup wizard, which takes about ten minutes if you have your church or ministry name, your logo and a few photos ready, plus service times and an address if your site shows them. Your free Emberline address works right away. A custom domain depends on your registrar and can take a few hours to be seen everywhere.
Can I change the layout or add a section?
No, and that is the point. You can change every word, photo, time, link and color. You cannot move the design around, which is why the site still looks right in two years.
Do you do texting or an app?
No. Email only. Forms email your team and reply to the visitor. If your ministry needs texting or a native app, a tool built for that will serve you better, and we will say so.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your site stays live for two weeks while we email you. After that it shows a short "temporarily unavailable" notice. Nothing is deleted while it is paused. Pay, and it comes right back. Only if the payment is never fixed and the card processor ends the subscription does the cancellation timeline start: your content is kept for 30 days, archived for 30 more, then permanently deleted.
Your house deserves a front door that is open.
Pick a design, finish the setup, and your site is live the same day. $129 a month, cancel any time, 14-day money-back.
