Updated October 17, 2026. Offer: free website build (up to 5 pages, normally $399) for nonprofits and community groups; Website Care $30/month required.

## The short answer
Yes, a synagogue or Jewish community group can get a free website build. It is the same up to 5 page build as our $399 Launch Website, including design, drafted wording, mobile layout and 10 revision rounds. The only cost is Website Care at $30 per month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits. You do not need to be a registered nonprofit.

## Your free 5-page website
1. Services and Shabbat: Shabbat and weekday service times, High Holiday schedule, livestream link, and what to expect for a first visit.
2. Join and visit: Membership options explained simply, a welcome for interfaith and newcomer families, address, parking and accessibility.
3. Education and youth: Hebrew school, B'nai Mitzvah preparation, early childhood, teen programs and adult learning.
4. Events and community: Holiday celebrations, a community calendar link, social action and caring committee.
5. Support and contact: Donation and yahrzeit buttons that open your existing tools, clergy and staff, and a contact form.

## What a synagogue website has to do in the first 10 seconds
Visitors include a family who just moved, a parent shopping for Hebrew school, someone planning a lifecycle event, and a member who forgot the time of Friday night services. Most are on a phone, and many arrive the week before a holiday. Put service times and the next holiday date high on the homepage. Offer a plain "New here?" button that explains how membership works and what a first visit is like.

## What is free and what Website Care covers
The free build covers up to 5 pages, a design made for your congregation, wording drafted after a consultation, a mobile-friendly layout and 10 revision rounds. It matches the Launch Website that normally costs $399 one time. Website Care is required at $30 per month. It covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits, such as new High Holiday times. Recurring plans can be canceled anytime. Extra pages are quoted before work starts.

## How people find your synagogue on Google and in AI assistants
Typical searches are synagogue near me , shabbat services in [city] , high holiday tickets near me , hebrew school for kids in [town] and reform or conservative synagogue near me . Titles, headings and descriptions that name your movement, town and programs. Structured data so search tools and AI assistants like ChatGPT understand your organization, address and events. An XML sitemap and quick phone pages. Consistent name, address and hours. We cannot promise rankings. If you want new pages every month later, the Monthly SEO add-on starts at $50 per month and is optional.

## Synagogue-specific must-haves and pitfalls
Calendar accuracy. Holiday dates move each year. Plan who sends us updates. Security awareness. Many congregations prefer not to publish detailed entry and security procedures. Post a general welcome and ask visitors to contact the office ahead for a first visit. Kids and families. Avoid publishing children's names or photos without parental consent. Dues and giving. Explain that financial help is available if you offer it, in kind words, and link to the form. Welcome to all. Interfaith families look for signs they are included. Say so on the homepage. For other faith communities, see churches and mosques and Islamic centers .
