Canterbury & South Island NZ

Websites for churches

Fast, accessible, easy-to-update websites for Christian churches in Canterbury. Built to meet NZ accessibility standards and easy enough for your team to maintain.

Talk to us What we build

Built for churches, not just businesses

Churches often have the same website needs as businesses — events, contact forms, news updates, service times — but without a dedicated technical person on staff to manage it.

We've built SouthStack's approach around making websites that are genuinely easy for non-technical people to update and meet NZ accessibility requirements.

We're based in Rolleston and understand the Canterbury community. We work with local organisations directly, not through layers of account managers.

  • 😓 Current website was built years ago, looks outdated, and no one knows how to change it
  • 💸 Agency quotes have been out of reach for a volunteer-run or donation-funded organisation
  • 🐌 Site loads slowly on phones — most people are looking you up on mobile
  • Accessibility hasn't been considered — members with disabilities can't use the site properly
  • 📅 Events and service times are hard to update without calling someone technical

Everything you actually need

A clean, fast, accessible site that's easy to keep up to date — with everything you need and nothing you don't.

📅

Events & services page

Regular service times, upcoming events, and news — all updatable by your own team without any technical knowledge.

📋

Simple CMS

A clean content management system so any volunteer or staff member can update text, photos, and events from their browser.

📞

Contact & enquiry forms

Simple contact forms so people can reach you easily. Responses go to your email — no extra software needed.

Accessibility built in

WCAG 2.2 AA compliance as standard — so members with visual impairments, hearing difficulties, or motor issues can use your site fully.

📱

Mobile first

Most people find your organisation on their phone. Every site we build looks and works perfectly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

🔒

Secure & maintained

HTTPS, regular security updates on a maintenance retainer, and no ongoing platform lock-in. You own everything outright.

Free for churches

We build it free. You pay for your domain. That's it.

For registered churches and faith communities — the build and hosting are completely free. Your only cost is registering your domain name, paid directly to the registrar. That's typically $15–25 NZD per year for a .co.nz, .org.nz, or .nz domain.

Hosting is on Cloudflare Pages — free tier, fast, and reliable. No monthly fees, no platform subscription, no lock-in. You own the site outright from day one.

What's included: up to 6 pages, CMS so you can update content yourself, events page, contact form, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, mobile responsive, HTTPS, full IP ownership.

Not included: e-commerce, booking systems, or complex integrations — these would be quoted separately.

Churches we work with

Churches & faith communities

Service times, sermons, events, location, contact, giving — everything a congregation needs to stay connected.

🙏

Christian communities

Any Christian congregation or ministry — Baptist, Anglican, Pentecostal, Catholic, Presbyterian, or independent — needing a welcoming online presence.

📖

Small & growing churches

New churches and church plants that need a professional site without the complexity of a website builder or the hassle of doing it yourself.

🏛️

Established congregations

Larger churches whose current site is outdated, hard to update, or not accessible to members with disabilities.


We know Canterbury churches

We're based in Rolleston and work with churches across Selwyn, Christchurch, and the wider South Island. We prefer to meet in person where possible — real relationships matter.
