One free website template to get you to try my favorite platform


ShowIt is my favorite website platform for clients.

Why? It's affordable, easy to use, and completely customizable.

If you want to give it a try (and you have that do-it-yourself spirit), I made a very simple, one-page, "blank canvas" church website that I'd like to gift to you.

Check it out!

Here's your quick-start guide:

1) Create an account on ShowIt and subscribe. Use my code graceungemach for a free month (you can cancel before you get charged, if you'd like).

2) Use this share key to import my exact design into your account: mrgPD5PpP5NM236538

3) Start playing! Watch this video to see me walk through some of the places you'll want to look at first.

While you'll be able to cancel before your free month is over, I doubt you'll want to! Think about if this platform would better serve your organization and let me know if you need help.

Until next week,

Grace Ungemach

I, of course, thought this was intriguing. But why advertise to people who are already Christians?...

A few people have mentioned this to me, so I simply had to investigate... Have you gotten ads for Church Candy? Church Candy was started by a man who built an ad agency in a different field. He pivoted and decided to use his skills within the church. He promises that he can get new visitors into your church using online ads. How does he do this? His team will run ads for you on Facebook & Instagram with the primary goal of gathering leads. What's a lead? A lead is someone who sees your ad and...

I've been designing a lot of postcards lately. I let people know about a $1.5k matching grant a few weeks ago through Outreach.com. I also work with a lot of churches that are having their launch services soon. Because of this, I've been working on lots of postcard designs and here is the general idea behind the template I use (that makes web traffic do this): 1) Ditch the paragraph and write for the eye. Take the paragraph of descriptive information that you'd like to put on your postcard...
