What we believe(01)
You weren't called to fight a website.
Every hour you spend fighting a website is an hour taken from the work you were called to. So we take the whole thing. We design it, host it, secure it, keep it current, and make the changes when you ask. We just happen to build very good websites.

SJ Drew Contracting Why we started(02) Meet us
Nobody starts out wanting to be the webmaster.
It just lands on whoever touched it last: the pastor, the office manager, the owner at eleven at night. We started Bearded Digital so they could hand it to someone and get back to the work they were actually called to.
We're not the cheapest option. Doing it yourself is cheaper, and you pay for it in time. We're the ones in Missouri who take it over completely, speak plain English, and answer when you call.

I've served on media teams for multiple churches across the central United States... Working with Bearded.Digital completely changed that. They helped modernize our site, making it intuitive, effective, and truly reflective of our church's mission. Their expertise brought new life to our digital presence, and the impact has been immediate.

How it works(07)Kickoff
A short intake and access to your current site. That is most of what we need from you.
Build
We build the new site, harden the security, and switch the backups on.
Content
We move your content over, test everything, and refine the design until it sounds like you.
Review
You look it over and tell us what to change. We work the list until you are happy.
Go live
We launch it, submit the sitemap, and connect analytics and search. You go back to work.
Then you stop thinking about it
Hosting, security, backups, updates, and edits carry on every month after launch. Going live is where our work starts, and where yours ends.

Have a Question?
FAQ's(09)Because nobody starts a church, a practice, or a business in order to manage a website. It lands on whoever touched it last and quietly eats their week. We started Bearded Digital so you can hand the whole thing to someone and get back to the work you were actually called to.
Yes. Pay the first month, and we start. Other agencies charge $2,000–5,000 upfront. We don't.
Yes. We change records, not owners. Email remains untouched unless you choose to migrate later. You own the site. We're just managers.
Plans run 12 months, then month-to-month. Prepay annually and the monthly rate drops (e.g. Grow is $250/mo instead of $279).
Basic: within 72 hours. Grow: 24–48 hours. Pro: 24 hours. Emergencies jump the queue on every plan.
We'll scope custom dev separately so your monthly plan stays predictable. Forms, tools, and platforms you already rely on get connected as part of the build.
Good. That is exactly who we built this for. You'll get a named specialist who handles edits, posts content, and keeps the site healthy. Quick edits (~15 min) are included per plan.

Small Business Marketing
How Do I Know If My Website Is Working?
Count the actions that only happen when it works. Visits are the input. On a verified Google Business Profile, Google already reports Directions, Website clicks and Messages for free with nothing to install, and Calls once you have added your phone number, and Google Search Console reports how many times someone clicked your site from Google Search results. In Google Analytics, mark one event as a key event, which Google defines as an event measuring an action that's particularly important to the success of your business, and read that one number each month. Then compare it against your own previous month, and against the same month last year.
SEO & Local Search
Did a Google Update Hurt My Website?
Start in Google Search Console, which holds Google's own record of how your site did in search. Compare clicks and impressions for the four weeks before and after the day you noticed the change, then open the Manual actions report, which shows a green check mark if nobody at Google has penalized your site by hand. Google's guide to debugging traffic drops sorts the causes by the shape of the graph, with a large sudden drop pointing at an algorithmic update or a site-wide security or spam problem, and seasonality, a technical issue and a reporting glitch each leaving a different mark. Google also cautions against reading too much into your absolute position, saying that impressions and clicks are ultimately the measure of success for your site.
Church & Ministry Digital
Does Our Church Need an App?
For most congregations, no. An app has to be installed, so it only reaches people who already know your church well enough to go looking for it, which leaves your website doing the job of being found. Apple's Developer Program costs 99 USD a year, and a nonprofit that is a recognized legal entity, doesn't have Apple's paid-apps agreement in place, and sells no digital goods or services through its apps can request a waiver, which Apple reviews before approving. Google Play charges a one-time 25 USD registration fee. Plan around upkeep instead: Google Play raised the Android version an app has to be built for in 2025 and again in 2026, and someone has to ship that update each time.
