"Greater Days Are Ahead"
Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church has been a pillar in East Austin for decades. Their vision — "Real People. Real Relationships." — drives everything from Sunday worship to a member-run business directory. They needed a website that honored their heritage while reaching a city that's changing fast.

Custom Design & Build
A website that serves the community as much as the congregation.
Greater Mt. Zion isn't just a Sunday destination — it's a hub for East Austin. So we built a site that does double duty: welcoming first-time visitors and connecting the community through everything from sermon archives to a member-owned business directory.
Livestream & Sermon Archive
Live services stream every Sunday through their online.church platform. And every past message is searchable by preacher, series, topic, and scripture — so a sermon from six months ago is two clicks away.
"I'm New" Visitor Experience
First-time guests get reserved parking, greeters, dress code guidance, and kids check-in details — all on one page. They even tell you upfront that giving is optional. That kind of honesty builds trust fast.
Events Calendar
Full monthly calendar view with everything from flag football tournaments to marriage gatherings to men's and women's ministry nights. People see what's happening this week without scrolling through social media.
Member Business Directory
This is the standout feature. A full directory of member-owned businesses — from health and wellness to legal services — organized by category with search. It keeps dollars circulating inside the community.
Mobile App Integration
The site promotes their church app front and center — download links for iOS and Android right on the homepage. Members can watch, give, and stay connected from their pocket.
Life-Stage Ministries
Children, students, women, men, marriage, small groups, and spiritual growth tracks — each with its own section under "Church Life." People find their people without guessing where to click.
Heritage meets modern reach.
The design respects the church's deep roots while making sure someone searching "churches in Austin" lands on a site that feels current, inviting, and easy to navigate.
Video hero
Autoplay background video with welcome messaging that sets the tone immediately
Red and gold palette
Bold brand colors that feel warm and celebratory — not generic church-template blue
Clear visitor CTA
"I'm New" link in the main navigation so first-timers don't have to hunt for info
Mobile responsive
Every page built for phones first — the app download prompts are right where you'd expect them
WordPress CMS
Their team manages sermons, events, the business directory, and ministry content independently
Your church deserves a website that works this hard.
