HillSide Community Church came with a simple but powerful goal to create a website that makes people feel welcome before they even walk through the doors.
Their old site didn’t reflect the warmth of their community or make it easy for someone new to take that first step.
So we reimagined it.
The new website is calm, clear, and inviting built to remove pressure and replace it with comfort.
From “Plan Your Visit” to watching sermons, every path is simple and intentional.
I focused on:
– Clear service times and quick info people actually need
– Gentle, welcoming copy that speaks to everyone
– Stories and moments that build real trust
– A structure that guides, not overwhelms
Because for a church, a website isn’t just information… it’s often someone’s first connection.
And that first impression should feel like: “You belong here.”
The mark fans out from a narrow point, while the wordmark leans forward. together, they give it a sense of movement without needing much detail.
There’s a lot of color in the wider identity, so the logo holds its own in plain white. Simple geometry with enough weight to stand up to everything around it.
New design for sure. The distressed texture in the type makes it feel like actual street photography lives inside the letters. The previous version is clean but this one has grit.
