Church Website Site
10 replies · Started by Richard on August 31, 2021
Dear GP,
I'm planning to build a website for a basic Catholic church with the basics -- mass times, prayer intentions, etc. Nothing fancy or contemporary. It's a pretty old parish. Just wondering if any GPers have an suggestions on what they might have used or would use from the site library for a project like this. Thanks.

Hi Rich,
Do you have an example of a site you'd like to achieve?
Let me know :)
Also trying to build a simple church website. Using the Idea template, but don't even know where to start after I activated it (or whatever the technical term is)
Can you open a new topic for your question?
Thanks :)
In the starter sites library, I'm wondering which one(s) you would recommend to start building a church website. I would prefer the starter site(s) built exclusively with GP Premium and the four basic blocks from GenerateBlocks. Please advise.
Thanks!
Hi there,
we do not have a site specifically designed for a church website - do you have an example of a site you're aiming for ?
Hey David,
Thanks for your reply. I'd like to build a site similar to this one: http://www.egliselesentier.com. If you could point me to the starter theme(s) that would be most appropriate to build a similar site, that would be a big help. As I said earlier, I'd prefer something that sticks to GP Premium and GB's free blocks.
Hello again,
Here are two more examples of church sites, in case the first one doesn't match one of your starter site.
A more complex one: https://tpcfamily.org/

I'm new to making websites with WordPress and GP, so I really appreciate your help.
I think any of the sites in our library will take some manipulation. Which wouldn't be a difficult job. But a main question to answer ...
On the Home Page of your website, what content will you be wanting to display ?
Will this content be in the form of Blog Posts ? Or would it be static content that doesn't get updated that regularly ?
The content on the Home Page will be in the form of blog posts. So any of the starter site will do? I feel like I'm back to square one.
If you go to the site library page: https://generatepress.com/site-library/
The sites under the Blog filter have the home page set to display posts.
However, that setting can be changed for other templates that have a static home page:

Therefore choosing a template with the layout that you like the most to start would be my recommendation.
