Can newcomers easily find service times and plan a visit?

Yes — a clear 'plan your visit' path with service times, location, parking, and what to expect removes first-visit anxiety. See Nabee for churches.

Can members give online, including recurring gifts?

Yes — a simple integrated giving flow handles one-time and recurring gifts and keeps records organized, connected to payments. See automation for churches.

Can we take event and volunteer sign-ups online?

Yes — online registration for events, classes, and volunteer roles replaces paper forms and spreadsheets and saves staff hours. See registrations for churches.

Do we need a church app?

Most churches don't — giving, sermons, and events work on the mobile web and through email/SMS without an install. Our honest take is on the app page.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Websites, apps & automation for churches

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

Nabee Studio builds custom websites, platforms, and automation for churches — from $4,500 one-time or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. One partner replaces the stack of vendors, template subscriptions, and manual work, so working with us saves money, time, or both.

A church's website is often the first point of contact for a newcomer deciding whether to visit, and for an existing member checking service times, events, and how to give. Yet many church sites are outdated, hard to update, and missing the two things that matter most: clear "plan your visit" information for newcomers and simple online giving for members.

The practical strain falls on a volunteer or small staff who update service times by hand, take event registrations on paper, and manage giving through a clunky third-party tool while the website drifts out of date.

Where churches lose time and money online

Newcomers can't easily plan a first visit

A first-time visitor wants service times, location, what to expect, and where to park or drop off kids. If that's buried or missing, they may not come. A clear 'plan your visit' section removes the anxiety and increases first visits.

Online giving is clunky or absent

Giving is central to a church's operations, and members increasingly give online and recurring. A simple, integrated giving flow — one-time and recurring — makes generosity easy instead of routing through a hard-to-use tool.

Events and registrations are managed on paper

Retreats, classes, VBS, and volunteer sign-ups run on paper forms and spreadsheets. Online event registration and sign-ups save staff and volunteers hours and reduce errors.

The site is hard to update, so it goes stale

When only a developer can change service times or post a sermon, the site drifts out of date. A site staff and volunteers can update themselves stays current and trustworthy.

What manual work does a custom build remove?

The typical church runs on manual touchpoints like these:

Updating service times, events, and announcements by hand (or not at all)
Collecting event and class registrations on paper forms
Managing volunteer sign-ups through spreadsheets and email
Running giving through a clunky, disconnected third-party tool
Posting sermons and media across scattered platforms manually
Answering 'plan your visit' questions by phone and email

Each of those is hours a week that a custom build turns into software:

Plan-your-visit + service info — A clear newcomer path — service times, location, parking, kids, what to expect — that removes first-visit anxiety and is easy to keep current.
Online giving (one-time & recurring) — A simple integrated giving flow for one-time and recurring gifts, so generosity is easy and the funds and records stay organized.
Event & volunteer sign-ups — Online registration for events, classes, and volunteer roles that replaces paper forms and spreadsheets and saves staff hours.
Sermon & media library — A self-updating library for sermons and media so staff can publish without a developer and content stays in one findable place.

Integrations that matter for churches

Online giving / donations (Stripe / Tithe.ly) · Event registration & sign-ups · Sermon / media hosting (YouTube / Vimeo) · Email + SMS to the congregation · Church management software (ChMS) · Volunteer scheduling — built in, not bolted on with extra subscriptions.

What does it cost?

One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Most churches need an easy-to-update website with giving and event sign-ups, not a logged-in platform — a members portal only matters for large congregations with heavy internal workflows.

Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.

The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
