St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church — a warm community its old website didn’t show.

Her creativity satisfied both our goals of having a beautiful page and a functional way to communicate. Maybe the best way to describe her process is ‘practical beauty.’ I can’t recommend Lauren any more highly and I would definitely hire her again.
Born in a parish. Built for organizations like yours.
Bright Night began at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church. We rebuilt their website, and now we run their communications: the newsletter, sermon clips and video series, the livestream, search visibility, events, and a welcome series for first-time visitors, and birthday and anniversary emails for members.
We know how visitors find a church or nonprofit, what brings them through the door, and what keeps them coming back. We build systems your team can actually keep up, and we stay with you after launch.
What you can count on.
Bright Night is built to do good work for good organizations, and to give back along the way.
Yours to keep. Always.
You own your website outright. There is no monthly fee to make a change and no developer standing between you and your own events page. If you want to update it yourselves, we will show you how.
If you would rather we handle it, we can run your communications for you. Either way, your site, your accounts and your content always belong to you.

Start with a free welcome review.
No cost, no obligation. I look at your website, your Google listing, your social media and what people find when they search your name, the way a first-time visitor would. Then we spend 30 minutes walking through what I found. You'll leave with three things you're already doing well, a short list of quick wins, and notes you keep either way.
Book by December 5 and there's still time to get fixes live before Christmas Eve.
Not a church or nonprofit? We’d still love to hear what you’re working on.
