Why Amplify Websites
Churches often evaluate a new website provider when the current site is hard to update, disconnected from the tools staff already use, or too limited for the next stage of ministry. Amplify Websites is positioned for churches that want simple editing now and more flexibility later.
Feature by feature
The differences that matter most show up in sermon organization, event and group sync, giving connections, and how far each platform can grow with your church.
Amplify Websites supports sermon and media workflows as part of the broader Amplify digital ecosystem, including Amplify Streaming. Churches evaluating sermon tools should compare how each platform handles uploading, displaying, filtering, searching, and reusing sermon content across the website, app, and other digital channels. If sermon filtering by pastor, topic, series, or scripture passage is important, confirm those details directly during the demo for both platforms.
Amplify Websites connects with Amplify People so events and small groups entered in the church management system can appear on the website without separate manual entry, so churches can enter information once and use it across connected ministry channels. Churches comparing Tithely should evaluate how event and group information is created, updated, displayed, and connected to any church management tools they use.
Amplify Websites works with Amplify Giving so churches can include giving experiences on their website as part of the broader Amplify ecosystem. When comparing platforms, churches should look beyond whether a giving form can appear on a page and ask how donor activity, reporting, fund designation, and church records connect behind the scenes. For Tithely, confirm how Sites connects with Tithely’s giving tools and what reporting or data workflows are included.
Amplify Websites gives churches a flexible path from DIY to fully custom. Churches can evaluate the Cloud builder when they need a simple, self-managed website; WordPress/Elementor when they want more design control; and custom website services when they need professional support. That structure is designed for churches that want a provider they can grow with rather than a website option they may outgrow quickly.
Ease of use and implementation
For communications leaders who regularly hear that the website is out of date, setup and ongoing management matter as much as the design itself. Amplify Websites includes a Cloud builder with drag-and-drop editing for non-technical staff and volunteers, support resources, tutorials, walkthroughs, and live support.
The Cloud builder gives churches a practical way to build and update pages without writing code, so routine changes do not wait on a developer.
If your church is moving from an existing site, ask what content can be moved, who handles the work, how redirects and URLs are managed, and what your team still needs to prepare.
Churches should confirm training expectations, launch timeline, and post-launch support during the demo. For Tithely, confirm onboarding, migration, training, support availability, and service scope directly, especially if your church needs help beyond self-service setup.
Integrations and ecosystem
Amplify Websites is designed to work within the broader Ministry Brands ecosystem, helping churches connect website content with the tools they use for people, giving, streaming, mobile engagement, and digital ministry workflows.
Events and small groups can sync from the church management system to the website.
Giving experiences can be embedded on the website as part of a connected giving workflow.
Streaming and recorded worship content can support website sermon and media workflows.
Website and app experiences can work together within the broader Amplify digital ecosystem.
Supports common website needs such as analytics, maps, calendars, video, and compatibility with select church management tools.
Questions to ask each provider
When comparing ecosystems, ask which connections are native, which are embedded, which require setup, and how data moves between the website, church management system, giving tools, app, streaming, and reporting.
Pricing and value
Amplify Websites Cloud builder pricing starts at $32/month. WordPress/Elementor and custom website services are priced separately based on the website path, scope, and services needed. Tithely pricing and packaging may vary by product plan, bundle, and service needs, so review current pricing details to compare what is included, what is optional, and whether setup, hosting, support, migration, giving tools, app features, or church management tools are part of the same cost.
Monthly price is only one part of the decision. Compare the full scope before you choose.
Who each fits
Neither option is the right fit for every church. The best choice depends on how connected your website needs to be, how much support your team wants, and whether you need a path that can grow beyond a basic website builder.
Switching
If your church is using Tithely and evaluating Amplify Websites, focus the transition conversation on content, ownership, training, and launch support.
Ask which pages, sermons, images, events, forms, giving links, redirects, and domain settings need to be reviewed before launch. Migration scope depends on the current site structure and the website path your church chooses.
Amplify Websites offers professional services for churches that need help with strategy, design, migration, setup, and training. Confirm the exact scope, timeline, and responsibilities during the demo.
Amplify Websites offers tutorials, walkthroughs, support resources, and live support. Ask how training works for the people who will update the site after launch, and what to ask during the demo about editing, mobile experience, event and group sync, sermon and streaming workflows, giving setup, and pricing.
Customer proof
Ministry Brands has supported more than 42,000 church websites, helping churches create online experiences their teams can manage with confidence.
The customer support has been phenomenal! There are several different ways to learn about every aspect of the system. There are tutorial videos, expert lead video training sessions, articles for every aspect of the system, and a customer service phone line for more immediate issues. The ability to reach a person and speak to them individually about a question or issue is a rare gift today.
What I really like and appreciate is your customer service. We had some things we had to learn and understand, and the people who helped us with that were very patient and helpful in making that happen. We were able to get up and running quickly because of that.
Ministry Brands makes it simple to get your message out there, to be able to share the gospel with the people in your community and I think that’s what’s important…it makes it easy for people like me who aren’t graphics guys to go ahead and do this and deliver the message that needs to be delivered.
Moving to a single software platform just makes it easy to invite other people in to assist us and help us. It also takes away a lot of the headaches we had in terms of the different deadlines we had for when our contracts renewed and keeping up with our different payments. It’s really simplified our lives in so many ways. If anybody’s on the fence, get a demo. I promise you you’ll be happy with what you see.
