Greetings
As we continue to grow and serve churches across South Africa and beyond, we’ve listened to your feedback and evaluated the best ways to enhance our offerings. To better serve your ministry’s needs, we are introducing new web design tiers and updating our pricing for both websites and the Church Management System (CMS) starting 1st January 2025.
We understand that budgets are important, and we’ve worked hard to keep costs as low as possible, despite rising global IT and hosting expenses. With this update, we aim to provide more flexibility and value with tailored website packages that match your specific needs.
