Revival is one of the website themes every church can use. It gives your site the look of a modern product page: big centred headlines, your photographs in large frames with rounded corners, sections that alternate between white and soft grey, rounded buttons, and small “more” links with an arrow. Your pages, words and pictures stay exactly as you wrote them; only the design changes.

What it does with your website

  • The header is one row with your logo and your main menu, and it stays at the top of the screen as visitors scroll. Submenus show in the phone menu. On a phone, the menu folds into a button.
  • The footer shows where the visitor is, then a column for each footer menu item that has a submenu, then the year, your church’s name and your other footer links.
  • Your opening section (the hero) is centred, with your photograph underneath in a wide rounded frame.
  • Service times appear as a slim bar listing each campus and its times. If the service times section comes straight after the hero, the bar sits on the bottom edge of the hero’s photograph. Visitors can open Service details to see each service’s name and note.
  • Values in your Mission section show as cards that scroll sideways when they have descriptions, or as a big numbered list when they are just names.
  • Ministries, locations, sermons and your shop show as rounded cards, up to three in a row.
  • Questions and answers open and close with a round plus button.

Choose it

  1. Go to Website → Look. Theme is the first section.
  2. Choose Revival. HoW shows your own home page in Revival so you can check it.
  3. Choose Apply Revival and confirm.

Visitors see it on their next page view. You can switch back at any time; nothing is lost. The full steps are in Choose your website’s theme.

Make the most of it

  • Put Service times straight after your hero on the home page (Website → Pages, then drag the section) to get the bar on your photograph.
  • Give your footer menu items submenus (Website → Menus) to fill the footer’s columns.
  • Use a wide photograph for your hero; it is shown large.
  • Pick your accent colour in Website → Look: it colours your main buttons. For the black buttons in the design this theme is based on, choose a near-black accent such as #1d1d1f.
  • Your logo sits small in the top row: it is drawn no wider than the width you set and no taller than the row.

Limits

  • On Apple phones and computers, Revival uses the device’s own typeface. On other devices it uses the typeface you chose in Website → Look.
  • Event cards don’t show pictures, because events don’t have a picture yet.
  • Revival works with all four palettes and is checked for readable contrast in each.

What DCX support can do

DCX support can see which theme your church uses and, with your permission, look at your Look page and your website with you in a support session. They can help you arrange your home page and menus for this theme.
