White page. For authors, speakers, mentors and conference hosts who minister through books, messages and invitations rather than a weekly congregation.

Byline. Your message, your books, your calendar.

A personal brand minister who writes, speaks and mentors. A white page, a bookish serif, typographic book covers, a booking form and an email list, with no photography required.

Setup note. This design is for one minister's own site, not a congregation. Setup asks for your name, your city and your look; a home church address and service times are optional and only show in the footer.

Color palettes

Four palettes, or your own colors.

Pick a preset at setup or enter your own colors. Every preset was checked for readable contrast. The page itself stays pure white in every palette.

Vermilion

Black ink with one red-orange mark. Classic, like a good book jacket.

Cobalt

Deep blue with a warm yellow highlight. Clear, confident and a little playful.

Teal

Deep teal with a bright orange line. Fresh, grounded and easy to read.

Rosewood

Deep rosewood with a soft gold thread. Warm, literary and dignified.

Every template includes

The same engine under every design.

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.
