Annual celebrations, special ceremonies and a link to the calendar tool you already use.

What a temple website has to do in the first 10 seconds
A first-time visitor wants to know if they are allowed to come, what to wear, whether they must remove shoes, and when something is happening today. Longtime devotees want festival dates and priest availability. Few will read about philosophy before they find the schedule.
So begin with a simple welcome, today's schedule and the address. Give the teaching pages their own room behind a clear menu.
What is free and what Website Care covers
The free build is up to 5 pages, designed for your center, with wording drafted from a consultation, a phone-friendly layout and 10 revision rounds. It is the work normally sold as the $399 Launch Website.
Website Care is required at $30 per month. It pays for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits like a new festival date. Recurring plans can be canceled anytime. Pages beyond 5 are quoted before we start.
How people find your temple on Google and in AI assistants
People search things like hindu temple near me, meditation center in [city], buddhist temple sunday service, diwali celebration near me and learn to meditate for beginners near me.
- Page titles and headings written around those phrases and your tradition.
- Structured data so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can read your name, address, hours and events.
- An XML sitemap and fast mobile pages.
- Your address and schedule written the same way on every page.
We cannot promise a ranking. The optional Monthly SEO add-on, from $50 per month, adds new pages if you want them. Read how it works in how it works.

Temple-specific must-haves and pitfalls
- Name and spellings. Deity, lineage and place names are spelled several ways. We use the spellings your community uses and keep them consistent.
- Languages. Many temples serve Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese or Spanish speakers. Decide which short sections to translate.
- Respect for newcomers. A short etiquette section reduces nervous questions.
- Photos. Ask before showing devotees or children.
- Giving. Separate general support from sponsoring a specific ceremony so donors choose correctly.
Other faith communities: mosques and synagogues. A cultural center might prefer cultural associations.
