Consistent, well-maintained websites – for all your parishes.

A modern, accessible website should not be a constant maintenance burden. With the ChurchDesk website system, your parishes can easily design their website – we take care of migration, technical maintenance, data protection and support. Consistently across the entire diocese or the entire regional church.

What it does

A consistent, well-maintained website for all parishes.

Outdated website builders, inconsistent appearances, open questions about accessibility: the website is a constant maintenance burden for many parishes. ChurchDesk combines design, technology and maintenance in one system – easy to use for the parish, professional to the outside world, consistent across the diocese and regional church.

  • For the member

    A modern, understandable and accessible website where church services, offers and contacts can be easily found.

  • For the parish

    With simple means to create your own website – ChurchDesk takes care of the design, technical maintenance and updating.

  • For the diocese and regional church

    A unified, data protection-compliant website across all parishes – centrally introduced and supported.

The website pulls its content from the platform.

The website does not stand alone: appointments come from the calendar, registrations are made via forms, donations are made via fundraising – what is maintained in ChurchDesk automatically appears on the site. One shared data set instead of duplicate maintenance.

In this way, the website remains consistent across all parishes, and dioceses and regional churches introduce it consistently and develop it further.

Complete migration service

We take care of the migration – parish by parish.

The change to the new system should not burden the parishes. Our team takes over the migration from the old modular system and supports each parish with a proven roll-out – step by step, with technical maintenance and constant updates in the background.

  • Migration from legacy systems: Existing websites can be transferred from the old modular system.
  • Proven roll-out: Our experts support the introduction in every parish.
  • Maintenance-free for you: ChurchDesk takes care of technical maintenance and updates.

Sustainable in the long term

Always up to date – including data protection and accessibility.

Standards change, and chasing them ties up resources. ChurchDesk is constantly developing the system and keeping it up to date with church requirements – from the data protection-compliant cookie and analytics add-on to accessibility.

The Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) makes accessible websites mandatory; We align the websites with the requirements of WCAG 2.1 AA so that your parishes are on the safe side.

  • Continuous development: The system remains technically up-to-date and complies with church requirements.
  • Accessibility (BFSG): Alignment with the requirements of WCAG 2.1 AA.
  • Data protection compliant: Cookie and analytics add-on that complies with church data protection.

Training & Support

Your parishes are never left on their own – we support them.

Software only develops its value when people work with it safely. That's why every parish receives personal contacts, a proven training plan and support that addresses every question.

  • Personal advice: Fixed contact persons for each parish.
  • Proven training plan: Induction with live webinars and explanatory videos.
  • Available support: By phone, chat or email – for any question.

Voices from practice

Such a process can only be achieved with support.

  • ChurchDesk's close guidance was essential, because otherwise we simply couldn't have managed a process like this. We don't know enough about the software side, nor did we have experience with an introduction of this scale. And you had the know-how needed for it, and prior experience with it too.
