Website and Database Companies
You cannot overestimate the power of a good website.
A church website is often the first interaction someone has with your parish. Whether they are looking for service times, exploring faith, arranging a wedding, or simply trying to find your church, a website can help them to feel informed, welcomed and connected.
There are many different website and church database providers available. Whilst the Diocese of Exeter cannot formally recommend individual companies, we have compiled this list as a useful starting point based on organisations that work with churches and recommendations from local parishes.

A Church Near You
If you do not have the budget for a brand new website, we would really encourage you to make the most of A Church Near You. A Church Near You is the Church of England’s Official church finder tool for the public, helping more people discover your church and contact you. Click here to visit A Church Near You.
Your church already has its own page, and it’s easy to upload images, add upcoming events, and share details about parking, accessibility etc. To find out more and register as an editor, visit the A Church Near You Editors Website.
If you would like to know more about how you can use A Church Near You as your church’s website, watch the webinar from the Church of England’s Digital Labs team below.
