STUDIO & ADVISORY
Digital foundations for mission-driven work.
Your organization’s website should finally look — and work — like it’s from this decade. Design-forward WordPress products and hands-on consulting for churches, nonprofits, and schools.

One suite. Every page your ministry needs.
Seven purpose-built WordPress plugins that work together — beautiful out of the box and simple enough for a volunteer who has never seen wp-admin.
SERMONS
Pulpit Studio
A sermon archive, presentation, and distribution engine — cinematic series pages, automatic scripture linking, social-ready artwork.
LIVE
Pulpit Live
Sunday, streamed beautifully — pre-service countdown, the live service front and center, seamless replay handoff.
EVENTS
Nave
Events people actually see — a featured hero with countdowns, a clean grid of what’s coming, sitewide banners for the big ones.
HOME & MINISTRIES
Atrium
A homepage that feels alive — a photographic ministries grid with depth, motion, and your brand colors woven through.
TEAM
Chancel
Put faces to the mission — an elegant staff directory organized the way your church actually is.
BELIEFS
Credo
Your story, mission, and statement of faith — presented like an editorial feature, editable like a simple form.
ENGAGEMENT
Threshold
A warm, persistent “Next Steps” invitation on every page, guiding first-time visitors to exactly the right place.
FOR EVERY ORGANIZATION
Your colors. Your fonts.
Every plugin reads from one shared brand system — set your palette and typography once, and the whole suite follows.
Two ways to work together.
Self-serve products when you want to run with it yourself. An experienced partner when you’d rather not go it alone.

The Grove Bible Chapel went from stuck in 2012 to launched in 2026.
Sermons that wouldn’t update. PHP versions frozen in the past. Nobody sure who held the hosting keys. One member saw the problem — and built the platform that fixed it.

VOLUNTEER-PROOF ADMIN
I sat in the pews watching our website fail the people it was supposed to serve. So I built what I wished existed — for our church first, and now for every organization doing work that matters.
