The lost are searching. Can they find you?

A city set on a hill cannot be hid — unless its digital front door is. Custom WordPress websites for Baptist churches: sermon archives, Plan Your Visit pages, event calendars, live stream setups, and local SEO built so that when someone searches for a church home, they find yours.

Artifex builds custom WordPress websites for Baptist churches, including sermon archives, event calendars, a Plan Your Visit page for first-time guests, online giving integration, live stream setups, and local SEO. Every site is hand-coded — no templates, no page builders — and designed so that when someone nearby searches for a church home, they find yours. Every project is scoped to your ministry's specific needs through a free introductory call.

// common questions

Questions pastors ask.

How much does a church website cost?
Every church project is scoped to your specific ministry needs — page count, custom features like sermon archives and event calendars, and content requirements all shape the investment. We start with a free introductory call to understand your goals, then provide a detailed proposal with clear, transparent pricing. No surprises.
Can our church secretary update the website?
Yes. Every Artifex site is built with simple editing tools that make content updates straightforward. Your staff can edit sermon details, events, and page content without touching any code. A training session is included with every build.
Do you only build websites for Baptist churches?
Artifex specializes in Baptist church websites but works with Bible-believing churches of all sizes. The focus is on churches that preach the Word and need a web presence that reflects the seriousness of their mission.
What makes a church website different from a regular website?
Church websites need specific features like sermon archives, event calendars, a Plan Your Visit page for first-time guests, online giving, and live stream integration. They also need to rank for local searches like "church near me" and "Baptist church in [city]." Artifex builds all of this from scratch.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for churches?
Yes. Artifex offers monthly support plans that include WordPress updates, security monitoring, content updates, and Google Business Profile optimization. Plans are tiered to match your church's needs and budget — we'll walk through the options during your consultation.
Will our website show up when people search for churches near us?
That's the goal. Every Artifex church site ships with local SEO, technical signals that help Google understand your church, and Google Business Profile setup. Ongoing monthly support plans include tracking which searches bring people to your site to maintain and improve visibility.
What is AEO and why does our church need it?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. When someone asks ChatGPT, Google AI, or Siri about churches in your area, AEO ensures your church's information is structured so these AI systems can find, cite, and recommend you. Most church websites are completely invisible to AI right now.
