Modern websites for synagogues — built with care for your history and your community.
Thoughtfully built around what these communities actually need — honoring legacy, supporting daily operations, and welcoming everyone who walks through the door, online or in person.
Built around your community, history, and goals, with a clear starting price and a short checklist to begin.
The first door most people walk through now — members, visitors, future members, and the broader community.
Long before anyone steps inside the building, they're on your website looking for zmanim, shabbos times, the rabbi, kiddush sponsorship, simchas, donation, the visitor policy, the history. The site is the modern front door of the kehilla. Done with warmth and care, it welcomes. Done poorly or kept outdated, it quietly turns people away — and you never hear about it.
What a real shul site does for your community
- New families and visitors actually find you — and feel welcome before they arrive
- Members stop calling the office for things the site can answer in a click
- Donations and sponsorships happen smoothly, on phone, on Shabbos eve, on yahrzeits
- Events fill — clear dates, clear RSVP, no buried PDFs
- Staff and volunteers update content themselves — no developer, no patchwork
- Your shul's history, beauty, and identity are honored online the way they are in person
What a dated or weak shul site quietly costs you
- New families Google you, get an outdated page, and quietly choose elsewhere
- Visitors arrive confused about times, dress, or whether they're welcome
- Donations leak — people willing to give bounce on a clunky donation flow
- One overworked person is stuck doing every update, and updates stop
- The site stops reflecting the community — and starts subtly undermining trust
A shul deserves a digital home that feels as cared-for as the building itself. I handle design, copy, ShulCloud connection, launch, and an easy backend your team can actually use — so the site stays alive long after we're done.
A thoughtful direction
After spending time in a historic synagogue and experiencing the depth of care, history, and community held within it, I felt drawn to focus more intentionally on this kind of work.
I'm developing an approach designed specifically for synagogues — one that's thoughtful, respectful, and built around the real needs of these communities: honoring legacy, supporting daily operations, and creating space for everyone who walks through the door, online or in person.
If your community is considering an update to your website, I'd genuinely welcome the conversation — no pressure, no assumptions, just an open door.
Two pieces, working together
A modern public site — alongside the operational tools your community already relies on.
A modern public-facing website
Clean, warm, and intuitive — reflecting your synagogue's identity, beauty, and history while making important information easy to find for members and visitors alike.
Thoughtful connection with ShulCloud
Your existing ShulCloud system keeps handling membership, payments, donations, RSVP, and newsletters. The new site simply makes those pathways clearer and more welcoming.
Honoring your synagogue's history
One of the most meaningful parts of this work is reflecting the living history of a community. A site can thoughtfully hold rotating quotes, community photos, member memories, a "history of the synagogue" page, and a warm introduction for visitors discovering you for the first time.
The goal is a site that doesn't only inform — it feels alive.
What I often see
Feel outdated or difficult to navigate
Make it hard to find events, services, or key information
Rely heavily on one person to manage updates
Have donation or RSVP flows that feel unclear
Don't fully reflect the warmth and identity of the community

- 5
Training and launch support
Most custom synagogue builds come together over a few focused weeks — sometimes a touch longer for larger scopes like ShulCloud integrations, but never months. Thoughtful collaboration at every step.
A more human way to work together
I aim to make this process as simple and collaborative as possible.
Optional WhatsApp group
For easy communication throughout the project.
Voice notes are welcome
Send a voice note — I can turn it into written content.
Flexible, step-by-step collaboration
Clear guidance at every stage, at your pace.
Finding the right fit
Every community is different. Some communities need a simple, welcoming presence. Others want events, donations, and more. You can start simply and add what you need.

Just enough to get started!
You don't need everything ready. Tick what you have, copy it, or send it on WhatsApp. Rather talk? Send a voice note with any photos, files, or links. I'll transcribe it and work from there. Questions are always welcome.
Details stay on this device. They are added to your message only when you press WhatsApp, Text, or Copy, and nothing is sent until you press Send.
A tick means you have it ready, not that it's been sent.

You don't have to keep this site alive alone.
Most of my clients want one less subscription, one less login, one less thing to remember. Ongoing Care plans quietly handle the parts that drain you — content updates, small design changes, SEO upkeep, and (if you'd like) your domain and hosting too. One monthly subscription, one person who knows your site.
Not ready for a monthly plan? You can also send edits à la carte and I'll quote them piece by piece. Most clients find that after two or three small edits a month, a plan saves money — and the real value is knowing I'm here when something breaks, when Google changes the rules, or when you just want a quick update done well.
See Ongoing Care plans & à la carteIt can feel like a lot. Let me carry the parts that drain you.
Strategy, copy, SEO, sitemap submission, Google indexing, and the architecture of how your site shows up — all of it can live on my desk. You bring the vision and the voice. We can grow what we build together whenever you're ready.
Built with intention
This is a focused direction I'm intentionally building into — and the foundations are already in place: a clear intake process, a guided collaboration style, and a calm, respectful approach to every step.
My goal is to bring the same care, clarity, and responsibility to every synagogue project that the communities themselves bring to their members.

06.The Law of Service
The strongest businesses solve real problems for real people.
Service is the most underrated business strategy. It compounds because every person you genuinely help becomes a witness for your work.

Trust compounds when people understand who you are, what you care about, and why you're building.
People buy from people. A clear founder presence is infrastructure for trust — especially early on, when your name carries more weight than your brand.
