Case study
We built her website. She updates it herself now.
Create Church Media, createchurchmedia.com. Emily Farmer, a graphic designer who designs for churches on a flat monthly subscription, in Indianapolis. The site launched inside the thirty days of training. Then she came back.
Who she is
One designer, on a flat fee, for churches across the country.
Emily Farmer designs for churches. Sermon series art, branding, social media, announcements, signage, on a monthly subscription where a church sends what it needs and she designs it, revises it and sends back the finished files. Twenty churches are named on her homepage. Every design file is theirs to keep.
She is based in Indianapolis, works with churches wherever they are, and takes new ones from a wait list. Her site says all of this in her own voice, which is the point of having one.
She also designed the wordmark at the top of this page.
Thirty days
The site was designed, built and launched inside the training.
We designed and built createchurchmedia.com and ran thirty days of Claude training with Emily at the same time, so that by the time the site went live she already knew how to work on it. It launched inside those thirty days.
The website, designed and built
Her portfolio, her subscription, how the work moves from a request to a finished file, the churches she has designed for, and a wait list to join. Built for a church that has been given her name and is checking before it writes.
Thirty days of Claude training, run with her
Delivered to her personally rather than sent as a login and a video. The training ran alongside the build, on the site itself, so the thing she learned on is the thing she owns.
Launched inside the thirty days
The site was live before the training ended. There was no handover after the fact, because there was nothing left to hand over.
What she does now
When something on the site needs to change, she changes it.
Emily makes her own updates to createchurchmedia.com. A new church in the list, a new piece in the portfolio, a line of copy that needs to read differently: she does it herself, without a ticket to us and without waiting on anyone.
That is what the one-time build is for. The site is hers to keep, and the training is what makes keeping it mean something. A website you can only change by asking the people who built it is theirs in every way that matters. This one is hers.
Go and look
createchurchmedia.com, as it is today.
The homepage, how the work moves, the portfolio and the churches. Every one of these screens is a page she can change herself.
Then she came back
A website client is now an entity client.
Emily came to us for a website. With the site live and in her own hands, she has come back for the next piece: the entity work that lets Google and the AI assistants say who Create Church Media is, and who Emily Farmer is, with confidence and the same way every time. The work that makes a Google Knowledge Panel possible.
That work is underway. Nothing about it is finished and nothing about it is promised here. What is on the record is the order of events: the site, then the training, then the site in her hands, then her decision to do more with us.
What this is an example of
The one-time build, at $4,500, doing what it says.
Website design, thirty days of Claude training run with you personally, and everything yours to keep whether or not you continue with us. Emily kept it, runs it, and continued anyway.
