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.
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- 😓 Current website was built years ago, looks outdated, and no one knows how to change it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.
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.
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.
