How Living Destiny Church in Norfolk, VA Got a Website That Actually Feels Like Sunday Morning
The Moment That Still Gives Me Chills
I will never forget the Zoom call when we revealed the first draft to Rev Dr Moses and his team.
I clicked share screen, the new home page loaded, and Rev Dr Moses’ mouth dropped open. His staff started cheering. Someone shouted, That is us. There were tears, laughter, and a whole lot of Hallelujah.
That moment is why I do this work. A church website is not just code and pretty colors, when it is done well, it becomes a digital front door to transformed lives.
The Problem, A Website That Did Not Match the Anointing
Living Destiny Church in Norfolk, Virginia is a powerhouse ministry with the motto Where Destinies Come Alive.
But their old church website felt tired and cluttered, and it did not look like a place where broken lives become overcomers.
Leadership knew they needed more than a facelift. They needed a church website that
Welcomed first time visitors like family
Made online giving feel simple and joyful
Gave members a secure place to stay connected
Streamlined ministry signups, prayer requests, and event registrations
Reflected the fire and warmth people feel on Sunday morning
What We Delivered, A Complete Digital Overhaul
Here is how we transformed their online presence into a true church website hub.
1. Brand new, Spirit filled content
Every word was rewritten to capture the heartbeat of Living Destiny Church. No generic church jargon, the copy now speaks with boldness, hope, and clear invitation. The motto, Where Destinies Come Alive, is woven through the site so the message feels consistent.
2. Clean, modern design that feels like home
We built a warm, mobile friendly layout with strong photography of real congregation members and intuitive navigation. Most guests visit on their phones, so the entire church website was designed with mobile in mind.
3. Smart form overhaul with Planning Center integration
We removed scattered forms and replaced them with clear, beautiful forms that connect directly to Planning Center. Every prayer request, guest card, and ministry signup is now tracked and followed up, turning simple clicks into real discipleship steps.
4. Seamless Church Center App integration
One tap online giving for tithes, offerings, and special funds
Event registration with a simple, familiar flow
Members can update their profile, join groups, and see giving history
5. Members only portal
We created a secure portal where members can log in, manage their information, sign up for small groups and volunteer opportunities, and stay in the loop.
6. Revamped e commerce section
Church merchandise and resources now look professional and are easy to purchase, turning swag into sustainable ministry income that supports the vision.
The Results
Early wins have already started to show.
Visitor to connection rate has increased because people actually complete the forms now
Online giving is smoother and trending upward
Staff saves hours each week with Planning Center automation and cleaner data
First time guests often say, I found you online and knew I had to visit
And the best feedback of all,
I had the pleasure of working with Joycelyn on redesigning our website, and I could not be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, she was exceptional. There were no hiccups, and her thoroughness truly set her apart. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process, making it easy to collaborate and share ideas. I highly recommend Joycelyn for anyone looking to elevate their online presence.
