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 Buddhist or Hindu temple or meditation center can get a free website build. It is the same up to 5 page build as our $399 Launch Website, with design, drafted wording, mobile layout and 10 revision rounds at no charge. The only cost is Website Care at $30 per month, covering hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks and small edits. Registered nonprofit status is not required.

## Your free 5-page website
1. Schedule and visit: Daily or weekly puja, meditation and chanting times, address, parking, dress guidance and shoe etiquette.
2. Festivals and events: Annual celebrations, special ceremonies and a link to the calendar tool you already use.
3. Teachings and classes: Meditation instruction, language classes, scripture study, youth and family programs.
4. Offerings and support: Ways to give, volunteer, sponsor a ceremony or donate to the building fund through your existing tools.
5. About and contact: Tradition, priest or teacher, history, community, and a contact form for questions and ceremonies.

## 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.

## 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 .
