The Process
From Start to Success
Here's exactly how our unique payment model works, step by step.
Start with a Small Deposit
Unlike traditional agencies that charge $10,000-$25,000 upfront, we ask for only a small deposit typically $500-$2,000 depending on project scope. This gets your project moving immediately without straining your budget.
Save thousands in upfront costsWe Design & Build Your Website
Our team works closely with you to create a beautiful, custom website tailored to your synagogue. We handle everything: design, development, integrations, and content setup. The process typically takes 4-8 weeks.
Custom design, not a templateYour Website Launches
Once approved, your new website goes live. We provide training for your team and ensure everything is working perfectly. Your community can immediately start using all features.
Full support and training includedPay 7% of Online Donations
After launch, we receive 7% of donations collected through your website. This continues until the agreed-upon project cost is fully paid. Most synagogues pay off their website within 12-24 months.
Your success = our successKeep 100% Forever
Once the project cost is covered, you keep 100% of all future donations. The website is fully yours, and we continue to offer support and maintenance packages if needed.
