At Ekklesia 360, that means acknowledging the outstanding church websites and pages our ministry partners launched last year. We asked our team to tell us about their favorite custom designs from 2019. These amazing sites really stand out and are great examples of how to [ achieve strategic church website goals](https://hello.ekklesia360.com/blog/building-a-strategic-church-website?_ga=2.115389766.1535569508.1578502140-1407387343.1574112463).     # [Wheaton Bible Church](https://wheatonbible.org/) ![ezgif-6-7acccc677709](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/342931/ezgif-6-7acccc677709.gif) Wheaton Bible, a multi-site church, completed an Ekklesia 360 strategy project with goals to make their site a hospitable entrance to who they are and what they do. They wanted to make it easy for visitors to take action in joining worship, connecting in groups and serving on volunteer teams. They also wanted to make it clear that all of their campuses were part of something bigger.   “We used bold typography, large images, and subtle animation to create a homepage where they can highlight that Wheaton is: a place where people love God, grow together, and reach the world. Visitors can quickly see their mission and take action in each area. Additionally, we used a campus menu in the navigation to make it really easy for visitors to find the church closest to them and set it as their home. This enables a cookie, so content like events and sermons are already filtered for their home campus.” —Jenn Craycraft, Senior Designer   *Muti-site church websites require smart navigation strategy.

We worked directly with their church design team to design a site that not only communicated directly, but with *style*. We worked together to find similar fonts and styles they were already using within the church. This allowed their team to keep using the fonts they've always used and to easily apply their internal church designs to the website without much resizing and adjusting. This site is minimalistic and with a unique font pairing.”*—Janis Jack, Designer*   *Learn more about optimizing church website goals* [*here*](https://hello.ekklesia360.com/goal-oriented-church-web-design?hsCtaTracking=2b175b96-82ed-45ce-aeb0-7754b9d91193%7Ccb89aecd-8bb1-4012-be9e-78c776eb76e7&_ga=2.115389766.1535569508.1578502140-1407387343.1574112463)*.*   # [Worship Center](https://www.worshipcenter.org/)  ![Worship Center-1-1](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/342931/hubfs/Worship%20Center-1-1.png?width=1215&name=Worship%20Center-1-1.png) “Worship Center worked with [Infantree](https://infantree.com/) on this custom design and it is a great example of how creative you can get with the layout.

We were able to design a website in grayscale, which allowed their church logo to remain white, complimenting their neutral style. The absence of color allowed their church photography to stand out.

We created layouts based on years of church website research, so strategy comes built in.  “I really love the movement and dimension of this site. We wanted to create a site that was more graphically driven and less photo heavy. We wanted to appeal to churches that may not have photographers on staff or might not have access to high-resolution photos.
