Choosing & Understanding Your Starter Site

Starter sites are pre-built church website templates that give you a gorgeous head start. No blank-page panic required.

How It Works

Head to Design > Starter Sites to browse the gallery. Each one is a fully designed church website you can preview before committing.

Once imported, your site gets populated with demo content, sample pages, and placeholder images. Think of it like moving into a furnished apartment — everything's in place, you just swap in your own stuff.

What to Do After Importing

  1. Replace demo content with your real church info
  2. Update your church name, address, and service times in Church Info
  3. Swap placeholder images for your own photos
  4. Customize colors and fonts to match your brand in the Customizer

Good to Know

You can switch starter sites later, but importing a new one replaces your current content.

caution

If you've already done a bunch of customizing, screenshot your favorite parts before importing a new starter site.
