Don’t DIY This One Thing
When we’re stewarding the finances of a church, we naturally want to spend wisely—and do as much as we can ourselves. And with all the DIY tools out there for websites, logos, and social media graphics, it’s never been easier to jump in and launch your vision with a few clicks and a Canva template.
But just because you can DIY your brand doesn’t always mean you should.
A DIY brand is a lot like a DIY haircut: fine in theory, a little rough in reality. And the truth is—people notice.
First Impressions Matter (A Lot)
In today’s digital-first world, your brand is often someone’s very first experience with your church, nonprofit, or ministry. If it doesn’t feel professional, intentional, or trustworthy, most people won’t stick around long enough to discover what makes your community special.
75% of users judge a church or business’s credibility by its website design (Stanford Web Credibility Research).
Organizations that prioritize good design see 56% higher returns than their competitors (McKinsey Design Index).
Bad branding isn’t just unattractive—it’s expensive.
The Cost of Looking Amateur
It’s easy to underestimate the damage a disjointed or dated brand can cause. Misaligned visuals, inconsistent messaging, and hard-to-read designs send a subtle but powerful message: We’re figuring this out as we go.
But that’s not your story. You’re leading with purpose. Your mission is clear. And your brand should reflect that.
Ask yourself:
Does our brand look as professional as the service we provide?
If the answer isn’t a confident yes, it might be time to level up.
Many of the churches and organizations we work with come to us after trying to DIY their way to clarity and connection. It’s exhausting—and often ineffective. You don’t have to do it all alone.
Branding Is More Than a Logo
Great branding isn’t about flashy fonts or trendy colors. It’s about aligning your visuals with your vision so people know who you are—and why it matters.
When your brand is clear, consistent, and compelling:
People trust you faster
They engage more deeply
They stick around longer
In fact, businesses that invest in consistent brand presentation see up to 23% more revenue (Adobe). That’s not just a design upgrade—that’s real, measurable growth.
