Considering over 80% visit a church's website before visiting in person, Tithe.ly Sites seems to have been left in the dust. It is very discouraging to see the lack of attentiveness, innovation, updates, and care it receives. I repeatedly check the changelog, reach out for updates from customer support, and watch the Tithe.ly Next events and find only an absence of energy spent on Tithe.ly Sites. Here are just a few issues to which I would love to see some attention given:
  • I am witnessing more and more churches using Squarespace, Wix, etc., for their aesthetics far surpass those of Tithe.ly Sites. I'd love to see the same modernization here.
  • For a church that has sermons, discipleship classes, testimony videos, and conferences, I can't even separate the content into their own respective categories on a resource library. Instead, they all meld with sermons. This is a feature that Series Engine has been doing for years.
  • Their is an extreme lack of functionality with the blocks. You can have body copy under the subheading with "Text with Photo" but not with the "Image Links." There is no way to merely create a two-column layout. You can't use your own provided icons for the "Icons" block, but instead, are restricted to a limited number of outdated icons. You have limited control over simply the number of image photos that you would like per row on the "Image Links" element. And the list goes on...
