Nonprofit & Church Website Templates
Free to host, held at 100 on the Lighthouse accessibility audit, and editable by whoever is on the rota this month. Amrify gives a mission-driven organization the fast foundation now; the nonprofit-specific template ships to owners later as a free update.
A Site the Whole Congregation Can Use
A church or charity website is judged twice. Once by the donor deciding in a few seconds whether the organization looks alive, and once by the visitor using a screen reader or a five-year-old phone who needs the service times and cannot get them from a slow, cluttered page.
Amrify serves both by shipping plain HTML with a strict accessibility gate, and it does it without a hosting bill. The nonprofit-specific layouts come later as a free update; the accessible, free-to-host foundation and the tools around it are ready now.
Zero Hosting Bill
Static output hosts free on Netlify, Cloudflare Pages or Vercel. The budget line for the website is the domain name.
Accessibility at 100, Gated
Any Lighthouse category under 100, accessibility included, and CI refuses the template. Semantic HTML and contrast are not left to chance.
Found by Donors and Volunteers
Organization and FAQPage schema, a sitemap and llms.txt are generated on every build, so Google and the AI answer engines describe you correctly.
Volunteer Signups That Reach a Phone
Pro's lead engine emails each form submission, pings Telegram or SMS, stores it and filters spam. Starter users wire the form to Formspree, Basin or their own endpoint.
News, Sermons, Impact Stories
The blog takes a text file and produces a page with tags, author, reading time, an Open Graph image and Article schema. An RSS feed comes with it.
Edits Without a Login Page
Content is files in a repo. There is no admin dashboard to learn, no password to rotate when a volunteer moves on, and no plugin to break.
Own Your Nonprofit Site Outright
Buy it once. Every nonprofit site you launch on it afterwards costs nothing more.

The person who updates a church website is rarely a web developer. It is the office administrator, a retired teacher on the communications committee, or the youth pastor who happened to be good with computers. The site has to work for that person, and it has to work for the visitor who finds it at 7 am on a Sunday looking for a service time on a phone with two bars of signal.
One thing to say plainly first. A nonprofit-specific template, with layouts for programs, giving and events, is not among the ten launch templates. Owners will get it free, as an update, without a date attached. What is available now is the foundation those layouts will sit on: fast, accessible, free to host, and editable by a volunteer. For many small organizations, the free Starter is enough on its own.
Trust Is Decided Before the Page Finishes Loading
A donor evaluating a charity opens the website and forms a view in seconds. A slow page with a spinner reads as an organization that is underfunded or inactive, whether or not that is true. A page that appears instantly, with the mission in the first sentence and a working Donate button, reads as one that has its house in order.
Search works the same way. Someone typing “food pantry near me” or “volunteer opportunities” plus a town name is comparing organizations by which page Google shows first, and Google folds Core Web Vitals into that order. Fast is a ranking input, and the CI gate makes it a default rather than a project.
Run your current site through the free website grader to see where it stands. Lighthouse, Google’s own test, runs against a simulated phone, and the grader adds checks for structured data, SSL, sitemap and llms.txt; about thirty seconds, no account.
Accessibility as a Build Rule
Nonprofits and churches serve people with low vision, motor impairments and cognitive differences at higher rates than most businesses, and a site that fails them fails the mission. WordPress installs often lose accessibility slowly, as a theme update and a plugin conflict each remove a label or break the heading order.
Amrify templates are held at 100 on the Lighthouse accessibility audit by the same CI gate that enforces performance. Semantic HTML, headings in order, labelled form controls, keyboard navigation and sufficient contrast are properties of the shared layouts, so a content edit cannot undo them. Alt text on your own photographs remains your job, and the content schema makes the field required so it is not forgotten.
What a Volunteer Actually Does
A news post, a sermon summary or an event page is a text file with a short header: title, date, description, an optional image. Edit it in any text editor, save, and the site rebuilds. There is no dashboard to learn and no password to hand over when the volunteer changes.
If nobody wants to open a text editor at all, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and four Claude Code skills are in the repo for exactly that person. A sentence like “move the Easter service to 10:30 and add the parking note” is enough for Claude Code or Cursor to make the edit. The seventeen docs cover the rest, and video tutorials are filming now.
Forms are where a static site usually needs help, and it is handled. On Amrify Pro a volunteer signup or a prayer request goes into the lead engine, which sends an SES email, buzzes a phone over Telegram or SMS, writes the record to DynamoDB, and drops spam before a person ever sees it. On the free Starter the form posts wherever you point it: Formspree, Basin, or your own endpoint.
Donations stay on a service built for them. Link the Donate button to Donorbox, PayPal Giving Fund, Stripe or whatever your treasurer already reconciles.
Starter, Pro, and Several Congregations
The free Amrify Starter is a whole site, not a demo: a home page, programs (the services collection, renamed) with a detail page each, about, a tagged blog, contact, thank-you, privacy and 404, plus six design switches, Organization and FAQPage JSON-LD, a generated favicon and OG images, a sitemap, RSS and llms.txt. It carries no JavaScript framework and is held at Lighthouse 100 on all four audits. Personal and commercial use on unlimited sites is fine; reselling it as a template is the one thing the license forbids. Public repo at launch.
Amrify Pro is for the organization with more than one site or with forms that need to reach a phone. A denomination with six congregations, a charity with three chapters or a developer serving several nonprofits runs them all from one monorepo, with shared components and a new-site scaffolder, on one license. Pro adds the lead engine, the widgets (reviews carousel, before/after gallery for restoration projects, sticky call bar on phones), the ten trade templates and the agent skills. It is paid once: the first 5,000 members pay the $249 founding price, later buyers $399, and updates never cost extra. While checkout stays closed, a free account is what holds the founding spot. The code arrives as private GitHub repo access from the dashboard; a seat is one person.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hosting cost for a nonprofit site?
Usually nothing. The site builds to static files, and Netlify, Cloudflare Pages and Vercel host static files for free at the traffic a congregation or a local charity sees. The domain name is the one recurring bill. The free Starter costs nothing at all; Amrify Pro is a single $249 founding payment with no renewal.
Can we accept donations through the website?
Yes, through a donation service rather than through the site itself. Point the Donate button at Donorbox, PayPal Giving Fund, Stripe or whatever your treasurer already uses; those handle receipts and recurring gifts. Amrify’s job is to make the page that carries the button load instantly and look trustworthy.
Do we need a developer to maintain the site?
No. Sermon notes, event details and news posts are text files with a short header block. Anyone who can write an email can edit one. For the volunteer who would rather not, the repo’s CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and four Claude Code skills let an agent turn a plain sentence into the edit. There is no plugin to update and no login page to defend.
Is the site accessible for users with disabilities?
The templates are held at 100 on the Lighthouse accessibility audit by the CI gate: semantic HTML, a proper heading order, labelled controls, sufficient contrast and keyboard navigation. Alt text on your own photos is still yours to write, and the schema will not let you forget the field.
The showcase lists live sites you can grade yourself, which is the only kind of proof Amrify publishes.
