October 31, 2026

Announcements page for churches

Church sites have a new Announcements page (under Posts & libraries). Type each announcement into the same few boxes: title, date, time, place, details, who to contact and a button. The page lays them all out the same way, with a date badge, grouped under headings like This week, Upcoming, Children & youth and Outreach. An announcement leaves the page by itself once its day is over, and you can highlight the ones people shouldn't miss.

October 31, 2026

A more polished bulletin

The Bulletin now opens with a cover: your photo (or your colors and logo), the date, a theme and a verse of the week, then your service times and address. Announcements and your own sections can have pictures, upcoming events appear with their pictures and dates, and a Respond area brings together giving, a “New here?” connect card and your Prayer Wall, with your church's contact details at the bottom. Announcements on their own page can have a picture too.

October 31, 2026

Weekly bulletin for churches

Church sites can now have a Bulletin page that people open on their phones or print: a welcome, the order of service, message notes with blanks to fill in, this week's announcements, giving and sections of your own. Each week, press “Start next week's bulletin”: this one moves to Past bulletins on the page, and the next one is ready to fill in. Share the link, or put it on a QR code in your lobby.

October 31, 2026

Request a change

Want something your editor can't do yet? Click Help, right under View website in the editor, describe it, and send. We'll get back to you by email, usually within one business day, and you can see your past requests and where they stand on the same page.

October 31, 2026

The online store is an add-on

Until you turn it on, Store now waits in the Add-ons group of the editor's menu with its monthly price, like the other extras. Turn it on and it moves to Grow.

October 31, 2026

Pages shows the right fields, and every page opens

In Pages, each section now lists only the wording and fields it really shows: no more stray boxes (like Contact or Home under Ministries) picked up from words inside its sentences. The Events, Watch Live, Prayer Wall and other feature pages now stay open in Pages and the preview instead of jumping back to the Home page, and the Messages and Blog pages' sections have proper names.

October 31, 2026

Sections read top to bottom

When you open a section in Pages, its headings and wording now come first, then its pictures and items, in the same order you see them on the page.

October 31, 2026

Gallery and videos moved to your Home page

Your photo gallery and videos are now edited where they show: open Pages, then the Home page, and click the Photo gallery section (or “Photo gallery & videos” if your gallery is empty). The separate Gallery & video item is gone from the menu, and old links to it take you to the new spot.

October 31, 2026

Every section explains itself

The first time you open a part of the editor, a clear card at the top says what it's for and where it belongs. After that it tucks away to a simple title, with “About this section” to read it again, and “Show section tips again” at the top of the editor brings back every introduction.

October 31, 2026

Size your popups exactly

Popups have a new Custom size: set the whole popup's width and height in pixels, and its picture grows or shrinks to fill the space the words leave. On phones a wide popup still shrinks to fit the screen.

October 31, 2026

Menu has its own place

Your site's menu now has its own spot in the editor's sidebar, right under Pages, the way you'd find it in WordPress or Joomla. Open Menu to put items in any order, make drop-down sub-menus, and add pages or your own links.

October 31, 2026

Clearer fonts in Text styles

In Design → Text styles, each heading, paragraphs and links now show which font they use (and whether it comes from your design), with a Change font button to pick a different one just for that kind of text, and a one-click way back to the design's font.

October 31, 2026

An easier font picker

Font style now starts with eight popular choices and lets you browse by mood: Clean, Classic, Bold or Playful, or show all 30. Each card shows the real fonts, with a big “Aa” in the heading font and a line of body text, so you can see the pair before you pick it.

October 31, 2026

Add-ons in one place

The editor's menu has a new Add-ons group with every extra your site doesn't have yet, like the blog, events or online store, each with its price. Once you add one, it moves to its usual spot in the menu, so the things you use stay where you expect them.

October 30, 2026

Tidier design picker on phones

On a phone, the long rows of category buttons on the Templates page are now a single drop-down: pick a group like Home services on the first page, or jump to another category while browsing designs.

October 30, 2026

Your own menu items

In Pages → Menu, “+ Add a menu item” adds a link of your own: to another website (it opens in a new tab) or a page on your site. Or tick “Add a current page from the site” and pick any of your pages. Leave its address empty and it becomes a heading, like “Get involved”, that opens a drop-down of the pages and items you put under it. Move them anywhere with the arrows.

October 30, 2026

Arrange your menu in one place

Pages now has a Menu card: move any menu item up or down (including Messages, Events, Prayer Wall and the other built-in items), put any item under another to make a drop-down sub-menu (Prayer Wall and Directory under Messages, say), and add pages that aren't in the menu yet. The Blog page is now in the Pages list too, so you can give it a header picture.

October 30, 2026

Mix events and slides in any order

Once events join your rotating banner, a Slide order list appears under Rotating banner with every slide and event. Use the arrows to put them in any order, like an event between two of your slides.

October 30, 2026

Cleaner YouTube videos in the rotating banner

YouTube's play and pause buttons no longer flash over a banner video: the slide's picture shows until the video is actually playing, then the video fades in. On phones that won't autoplay videos, visitors simply see the picture.

October 30, 2026

Faster publishing for sites with lots of messages

When you publish, message pages that haven't changed are now left as they are instead of being rebuilt, so churches with hundreds of messages publish in a fraction of the time. And when lots of sites publish at once, they now take turns, so everyone's site goes live faster.

October 29, 2026

No more waiting on big sites

Adding an add-on (like the rotating banner) now switches it on instantly, and Publish no longer holds you up while a large site is rebuilt: it shows “Publishing…” and finishes in the background. Approving prayer requests and changing member sign-ins are instant too.

October 29, 2026

Privacy and legal housekeeping

Your website's fonts are now served from your own site instead of Google's, so visitors' browsers no longer contact Google just to show text (and pages load a touch faster). Checkout now spells out the monthly automatic renewal right by the button, with a box to agree, and we email the renewal and cancellation details after you subscribe. Our Terms now include a Copyright and DMCA policy.

October 29, 2026

Member sign-ins, groups and “I prayed for this”

Everyone in your Member Directory can now have their own sign-in: send invites from the directory, and each person chooses their password from the email. Make groups like Prayer Team or Leaders, tick them on each person, and choose which groups can open the directory and the prayer wall. On a members-only prayer wall, signed-in members can tap “🙏 I prayed for this”, and everyone sees how many people have prayed. The shared username and password can stay on while people accept their invites.

October 29, 2026

Prayer walls are members-only by default

When your Member Directory is on, the prayer wall now sits behind the same sign-in by default, so requests stay within your church family. You can still make it public under Prayer Wall.

October 29, 2026

Prayer wall: nicer emails and members-only

New prayer requests now arrive as a clean, formatted email with the request, who sent it and an Approve button. The person who asked gets a warm thank-you with their request, and another note once it's on the wall (when they leave an email). With the Member Directory on, you can make the prayer wall members-only: visitors sign in with the directory's username and password, on the same sign-in page.

October 29, 2026

Events feed: copy button and pictures

The Events area of the editor shows your events RSS feed with a Copy button. The feed itself now includes each event's picture, date, time and place, full description and a link to Add to calendar, plus your logo.

October 29, 2026

Pictures on every podcast episode

Every episode in your podcast feeds now has a picture: the message's own, else its video thumbnail, else your podcast cover. Feeds also carry each episode's full description with its picture and a link to the message page, so feed readers and email tools show them nicely.

October 29, 2026

Find your blog feed in the editor

The Blog area of the editor now shows your blog's RSS feed address with a Copy button, ready to paste into a feed reader or an email tool like Mailchimp.

October 29, 2026

Clearer AI button

The AI writing button next to text boxes now says “✨ Have AI Help Me”.

October 29, 2026

A richer blog RSS feed

Your blog's RSS feed (blog/feed.xml) now carries each post's full text with its pictures, its cover image, author, date and summary, plus your logo, so feed readers, Mailchimp and other email tools can turn new posts into good-looking emails automatically. Your Blog page also has a “Follow our blog (RSS)” link.

October 29, 2026

A faster editor on big sites

Saving, publishing and the AI helper no longer wait in line behind the live preview. On sites with hundreds of pages, typing quickly could make Save and Publish feel stuck until every preview update had finished; now they start right away.

October 29, 2026

Free photos for blog covers

Blog posts can now take their cover picture from Unsplash's free photo library, right next to Upload. The search starts with your post's title, and the photographer is thanked on your Photo credits page.

October 29, 2026

AI writing in many more places

✨ Write now helps with blog posts, store product descriptions, property listings, page and home introductions, thank-you messages, podcast descriptions and more. For headlines, taglines, headings, page titles and email subjects, a small ✨ inside the box suggests three options to pick from. Fields for facts (names, phone numbers, addresses, prices, dates and reviews) are left to you, so the AI never makes those up.

October 29, 2026

Use the AI helper with your own AI account

The AI writing helper now works with your own Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI) account: add your API key once under AI helper, and ✨ Write, Write my whole site, Google descriptions and sermon packs all use it. You choose the AI and pay it directly, usually a few cents a month, with no monthly writing limit.

October 29, 2026

A tidier footer for photo credits

Instead of a list of photographers' names, your footer now has one small “Photo credits” link to a page that thanks each photographer whose free photos you use. The page stays out of your menu and out of Google.

October 29, 2026

A new Features page

See everything you can do before you sign up: a tour of the editor and of what visitors see, with screenshots, from live previews and designs to popups, forms, the AI writing helper, the message library, live streaming and the member directory. Find it under Features in the menu.

October 29, 2026

Side-by-side sections

Your own sections now have a Half width option. Put two half-width sections next to each other and they sit side by side, each with its own background: text beside a sign-up form, a picture beside a story, two calls to action. On phones they stack. Plus: a page's main text now shows as “Page text” in Pages, whatever its first heading is.

October 29, 2026

Forms beside your page picture

A form on one of your pages can now sit right beside the page's picture, above or under the page text, as well as at the bottom of the page. Choose where in the page's settings or in Forms. Page settings also now have the page's Header picture, shown behind its title at the top.

October 29, 2026

Sub-menus, page header pictures and forms on any page

A page can now sit in a drop-down under Messages, Events, Watch Live, Blog and the site's other menu items, not just under your own pages. Each page's top banner can have its own header picture (Pages → the page → Top banner), instead of the home page's banner photo appearing there by mistake. And each page's settings now let you pick a form to show at the bottom of that page.

October 29, 2026

Search your member directory in the editor

The Member Directory in the editor now has a search box, so you can find anyone in a long list by name, household, role, status, email, phone number, address or private notes.

October 29, 2026

Import your member directory from a spreadsheet

Bring your whole directory in from a .csv file (Excel, Google Sheets or your church software can make one). Columns are matched to fields by name, with a chance to change any match first, and you choose whether to add people, update the ones you have, or replace the list. A guide in the editor lists every column name and what goes in it, with a sample spreadsheet to download.

October 29, 2026

Member directory sign-in page and better search

Members now sign in to the directory on a proper sign-in page that matches your site's design, instead of the browser's plain password box, and stay signed in for a month (with a Sign out link). The directory search now finds people by name, household, role, email, phone number or town, and shows how many people match.

October 29, 2026

A cleaner member directory

Directory cards now show each person's name, role and status at the top, then their household, email, phone numbers, address and birthday in a tidy labeled list. Phone numbers are neatly formatted, addresses open in Google Maps, and long email addresses no longer spill out of the card.

October 29, 2026

Popup positions, podcast links and a Watch Live header picture

Popups now appear in the corner or edge you pick (left and right positions were being ignored). Each podcast shows its feed address as soon as it's saved, with a checklist of anything still needed before podcast apps can use it. And the Watch Live page can have its own header picture, added right in Live stream settings.

October 29, 2026

AI Pro tools: whole site, Google descriptions and sermon packs

With AI Pro: Write my whole site turns a few sentences about your organization into a headline, tagline, introduction, About, service descriptions and page text, and you pick what to keep. Write every Google description fills in all your pages' search descriptions at once. And each message gets a Sermon pack: a summary, small-group questions and ready-to-post Facebook, Instagram and X posts.

October 29, 2026

AI Pro, and AI writes on every plan

Every plan now includes a monthly allowance of AI writes, with more on bigger plans. Need more? Add AI Pro from the AI helper area for a much larger monthly allowance, billed with your plan. Plus: designs whose top banner shares the header with the menu now list that banner in Pages, so its picture, words and button can be edited there.

October 29, 2026

A tidier editor menu

The editor's side menu now folds into groups: the group you're working in stays open, and the others open with a click (and stay how you left them). Pages like Watch Live, Events and Messages now have a button in Pages that takes you straight to where they're edited.

October 29, 2026

AI writing helper

Click \u2728 Write next to text boxes (About, page and section text, message notes, events, deals, popups, newsletters and Google descriptions) to have AI write or polish the words. Say what you want, pick a quick option like \u201cMake it shorter\u201d, edit the draft, then use it. Your plan includes a monthly allowance, or add your own Anthropic or OpenAI key for unlimited use.

October 29, 2026

Add pictures without saving first

Banner slides, events, deals, people, services and popups now take a picture straight away. Choosing one on something new saves it for you first.

October 29, 2026

Style your popups

Each popup's words can now be aligned left, center or right, with their own heading and text sizes for every screen, heading boldness, capitals and italics, and colors for the background, heading, text and button.

October 29, 2026

Email newsletter

Add a newsletter sign-up box to your site, see who's subscribed, and write and send emails to them right from the editor, with a test email to yourself first. Subscribers confirm by email before they're added, and every email has an unsubscribe link. Add an optional welcome email for new subscribers.

October 29, 2026

Build your own forms

Make sign-ups, RSVPs, connect cards, volunteer forms and quote requests with any questions you like: short and long answers, dropdowns, choices, checkboxes, dates and more. Each form gets its own page and can sit at the bottom of any page or inside a section. Answers are emailed to you and kept in the editor, ready to download as a spreadsheet.

October 29, 2026

Popups

Advertise an event, a deal or a sign-up in a popup with a picture, words and a button. Choose when it appears (after a few seconds, after scrolling, or as visitors are about to leave), where on the screen, its size, how often each visitor sees it, which pages and devices, and the dates it runs.

October 29, 2026

Live stream page

A Watch Live page for the stream you already run on YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, BoxCast, Resi and more. Add your service times and visitors see a countdown to the next one, a Live now badge, and a \u201cWe're live\u201d bar across your whole site while you're on.

October 29, 2026

More deals and coupons

Business sites can now run up to 500 deals at once. Visitors can copy a coupon code with one click, and a search box appears when there are lots of deals.

October 29, 2026

Export, update and filter your messages

In the Media Manager, filter your messages by book, speaker, series, topic, year or shown/hidden, just like visitors can. Export them as a spreadsheet (.csv) or a backup (.xml) that imports straight back. Importing can now add new messages and update the ones you already have, and Remove all clears the library (with a copy kept in Version history).

October 29, 2026

Rotating banner replaces every design's top banner

On designs whose top banner shares the header with the menu, “Instead of the top banner” now swaps it for your rotating banner, with the menu shown over the slides.

October 29, 2026

Banner buttons can go to any page

A rotating banner slide's button can now go to a page on your site, picked from a list, or to any web address.

October 29, 2026

Place your banner words anywhere

The rotating banner's text can now sit left, centered or right, at the top, middle or bottom. Pick a spot on the little grid under Text position.

October 28, 2026

Sizes for every screen, in any unit

Text sizes, section heading sizes and the rotating banner's height can now be set separately for desktops, laptops, tablets and phones, in px, em, rem, % or screen units. Pick a device in the preview to edit its sizes; any device you leave blank uses the next bigger one's.

October 28, 2026

New rotating banner effects and video slides

Choose how slides change: fade, Ken Burns (a slow zoom), slide left to right or slide right to left. Any slide can now be a picture or a YouTube or Vimeo video playing silently behind its words. The banner's height can also be set exactly, with its own height on phones.

October 28, 2026

More font control for each section

In a section's Colors & fonts, open Sizes & style to set its heading, smaller heading and text sizes, heading boldness, capitals, italics, letter spacing and line height. Phones get slightly smaller headings automatically.

October 28, 2026

Save each slide, event or listing card

Rotating banner slides, events, deals and directory entries now have their own Save button next to Delete.

October 28, 2026

Put your lists in any order

Move services or ministries, highlights, testimonials, videos, links and gallery photos up or down with the arrows. Service times are now a row each, with their own label and time, and move the same way.

October 28, 2026

A picture for each service or ministry

Designs that show a photo on each service or ministry card now let you choose that photo for each one, right where you edit it. Until you pick one, the design keeps using your gallery photos.

October 28, 2026

A background picture for any section

In Pages, open a section's Colors & fonts to give it a background picture. Choose how much to darken it so the words stay easy to read, and whether it stays still while the page scrolls.

October 28, 2026

Publish your first version in one click

The Publish my site button now puts your site online right away and shows you its address, with no second button to find.

October 28, 2026

Gallery photos open full screen

Visitors can click any photo in your gallery to see it full screen, then flip through the rest with arrows, the keyboard or a swipe. Galleries that showed photos at uneven heights now line them up in even rows.

October 28, 2026

Rearrange your page sections

In Pages, drag a section by its handle (or use the arrows) to change the order your page shows them in. Works on every design; the parts a design keeps at the top are marked "stays in place".

October 28, 2026

Reset filters in your messages library

Visitors who search or filter your messages now get a Reset filters button that clears everything in one click.

October 28, 2026

Directory usernames keep their capitals

The Member Directory username now works exactly as you type it, capitals included.

October 28, 2026

Section colors start from what you have

When you change a section's colors, you now see the colors it uses today. Pick a darker or lighter shade of the same color, or a nearby color on the color wheel, in one click.

October 28, 2026

See before you upgrade

Each paid upgrade now shows an example of what it adds to your site.

October 28, 2026

More member details in the directory

Member Directory entries now hold member status, active or not, birthday, mobile, home and work phones, membership and baptism dates, gender, marital status, a full address and private notes. Only your team sees the notes and personal dates.

October 28, 2026

Your own browser-tab icon

Every published site now shows its own icon in the browser tab: its first letter on your main color.

October 28, 2026

Events, rotating banner, deals, prayer wall and member directory

Events (one-time add-on): an Events page and a page for each event with Add to calendar, share buttons and an RSS feed. Set when each event appears and disappears.

Rotating banner (one-time add-on): a slideshow at the top of your home page with fades and timing you control. Events can join in.

Deals: a page for coupons and offers, for businesses. Expired deals disappear on their own.

Prayer Wall: visitors share requests, you approve them, for churches.

Member Directory (one-time add-on): a password-protected directory, for churches.

Blog RSS: every blog now has a feed for readers and apps.

October 28, 2026

Edit each page section by section

The new Pages area puts each page's words, pictures, wording, colors and fonts together, section by section. Click any part of the preview to edit it. Links in the preview no longer navigate away: use the page menu above it.

October 28, 2026

Colors and fonts for each section

Give any section of any page its own background, text and heading colors, button color and fonts. Available on every plan.

October 28, 2026

Text styles and a font gallery

October 28, 2026

Much faster pages

Every page of the builder now loads in about a quarter of a second.

October 28, 2026

Podcasts for every kind of site

Multiple podcasts can now be organized by show, series, host or topic.

October 27, 2026

Faster publishing

Updating a live site now takes about a second, even for big sites.
