What Columbus organizations are up against
Columbus is the fastest growing large city in the Midwest, and the growth shows up in its congregations. New plants meet in school cafeterias and rented storefronts, established churches absorb a steady flow of newcomers, and the city is home to one of the largest Somali communities in the country.
A congregation that meets in a rented room has no building to point at. The website is the address. If it does not say clearly where you meet this Sunday, what time, where to park and what happens with kids, a visitor has nothing else to go on and will not risk the trip.
Growth is the opportunity and the problem at once. The people moving in are looking for somewhere to land, and they are looking on a phone, this week.
A site that earns the minute it gets
Where you meet this Sunday
The current location, time and parking situation stated up front, easy to change the week the room changes.
What a first visit looks like
What to expect, what to wear, where kids go, answered before someone has to ask a stranger.
Mobile first, genuinely
Because someone deciding whether to visit is doing it from a phone, usually the night before.
Editable by your team
Rooms, times and events updated in house the moment they change, without waiting on anyone.
I work with organizations across the country from Pittsburgh. Distance has not been the hard part in a long time. Being reachable is, and that is the part I take most seriously.
What I will not take custody of
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.
If you run a school or childcare program, student and family records belong in a purpose built system. If you manage client services, that data belongs in case management software with real protections. A website is the wrong place for any of it.
I would rather tell you that up front than sell you something that becomes your problem later.
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.
