Video platform for Churches
Driving a SasS business with WordPress multisite and custom built dashboard

THE CHALLENGE

Churches were hard hit during the pandemic when their services had to close to the public.

Many scrambled to get online by using a combination of Zoom and Youtube to deliver live services at home and/or recorded services for their congregation to watch.

And a lot of them were having difficulty in managing the new tech requirements and the congregation were not sold on watching services on YouTube.

THE RESULT

Faithly came to us with an ambitious plan for a platform that would help churches get their videos online more easily.

We built  them a WordPress multisite setup which was configured for churches to develop their own site as a separate website and link to it from a custom domain.

We also built a dedicated backend system for the churches to upload their video (with some nice features such as fast uploads and being able to pause and restart downloads). Videos were stored on Vimeo and uploaded straight to Vimeo from the dashboard via a custom integration. Once someone at the church has uploaded their video it goes straight onto their website and the congregation can view it in a glorious distraction free webpage.

Indie Ridge built us a stunning platform. Churches love the simplicity of the video uploading process and the day to day management while their congregation love the distraction free viewing. We couldn’t be more thrilled.
