Church name, address, and service times visible immediately
No scrolling or digging — a first-time visitor can find Sunday info in seconds.
Clear welcome message for first-time visitors
A sentence or two that says what to expect — parking, dress code, childcare.
Homepage loads fast (under 3 seconds)
If you're not sure, try opening your site on your phone using cellular data.
Mobile & Accessibility
Over 60% of church visitors browse on their phone.
Site is easy to read and navigate on a phone
No pinching to zoom. Menu works. Text fits the screen.
Buttons and links are large enough to tap with a thumb
No tiny text links crammed together.
Images have alt text (accessible to screen readers)
If you can right-click an image and see "alt text" in the code, you're covered.
Contact & Location
Make it easy to find the building and reach a person.
Phone number is clickable on mobile
Tapping the number opens the phone app. No copying and pasting.
Church address is linked to Google Maps
Tap the address and it opens directions. Simple.
Contact form or email address is easy to find
Someone with a question shouldn't have to hunt for a way to reach you.
Content & Updates
A stale site signals a closed door.
Site has been updated in the last 6 months
Even a small update to the events page or a new photo counts.
Sermon recordings or livestream links are easy to find
YouTube, Facebook, or embedded — as long as it's obvious where to click.
Current events calendar is posted and up to date
No Christmas 2023 flyer on the homepage in July.
Giving & Next Steps
Make it easy to give and get connected.
Visitors can give online (Tithely, Pushpay, Givelify, Cash App, etc.)
A link, a button, or clear instructions. Doesn't need to be fancy.
Clear next step for new visitors (fill out a connect card, join a welcome class)
What should someone do after their first visit? The site should tell them.
Email capture (newsletter signup, prayer list, or stay-connected form)
A way to follow up with visitors after they leave your site.
