What Chicago congregations and nonprofits are up against
Chicago carries two deep traditions at once: Black congregations that have anchored South and West Side neighborhoods for generations, and ethnic Catholic parishes built by Polish, Irish, Mexican and Lithuanian communities. The archdiocese has spent years merging parishes, which has moved and renamed more than a few of them.
The practical result is that people frequently cannot work out where their parish now meets, or which building holds which Mass. A site that answers where, when and who to call is worth more here than one that looks impressive.
Donations belong on a platform built for donations, such as Classy, Give Lively or Raisin. They handle PCI compliance, receipting and fraud. I build the path to them and make it feel like one organization, and I stay out of the payment rail.
A site that earns the minute it gets
Which building, what time
One clear schedule across every site and campus, so nobody has to call the office to find out where to show up.
A giving path that keeps trust
A clean, styled handoff to your existing donation platform so nobody stalls at the moment of decision.
Mobile first, genuinely
Because for this kind of organization the overwhelming majority of visits come from a phone.
Editable by your office
Events, announcements and times updated by whoever is in the office, without calling a developer.
I work with organizations across the country from a studio just outside Pittsburgh. Distance has not been the hard part in a long time. Being reachable is, and that is the part I take most seriously.
Working with one person, from Pittsburgh
You are hiring one person, not an agency. I am Scott Rocca, I work out of Bridgeville just outside Pittsburgh, and I do the design, the build, the hosting and the support call myself. Nothing gets handed to a junior and nothing gets outsourced. That is the tradeoff: you will not get a 20 person team, and you will never be handed to someone who does not know your project.
Most builds run three to six weeks depending on how much content is ready. Sites are built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA at delivery and hosted on a private server I administer, not a page builder you rent by the month. You get a straightforward one time build price plus a flat monthly for hosting, updates and support, and I quote it before you commit to anything. If a cheaper option genuinely fits you better, I will say so.
