From a first draft to your own address.

You see a finished draft of your site before you commit to anything. Here is every step, what we need from you and what we will never do.

  1. Step one

    We draft your preview, privately.

    You send us a link to your teaching. We build a private preview from public work you point us to: sermons, books, talks and your bio.

    • UnlistedYour preview is not in search results and is not shared with anyone else.
    • Clearly markedIt is labelled as an unofficial preview until you claim it.
    • Removed on requestAsk us, and we take it down.

  2. Step two

    You claim it with a single-use invitation.

    When you are ready, we send you an invitation. Claiming it makes the site yours and starts your 14-day free trial.

    Your invitation

    • Works onceAfter you claim, the invitation cannot be used again.
    • Only for your email addressA forwarded link cannot claim your site.
    • No passwordYou sign in with a secure link we email to you.
    • No card neededThe trial never charges you automatically.
  3. Step three

    You make it yours in the editor.

    Change any word or photo, choose a design and bring in your sermons. Nothing changes on the public site until you release it.

    • Edit everythingEvery page, section, article and photo.
    • Choose a designSwitch between more than twenty designs without losing content.
    • Import your workPaste a YouTube channel or playlist, or a podcast feed.
    • Invite helpAdd an assistant as an editor.

  4. Step four

    You publish on your own address.

    Review every page, then release. Your site goes live at yourname.pastornest.com, or on your own domain, which we connect for you.

    • Release when readyReview, then publish the whole site together.
    • Roll back in one stepEvery release is kept.
    • Keep it current, or let usEdit it yourself on Website, or send us updates on Care.
