I completed my first webpages there in a matter of *minutes*. Honest. And the tech support people have been stellar. I actually got a call from a real human (who knew how to use the tools on the site and spoke clearly), just to ask if I had any questions. She pulled up my new site while she was on the phone with me and even complemented me on how rapidly I had rolled it out (most in one evening). Check it out at:

I’ve sent 3 emails to the customer support line, partly just to see if they would answer. They’re batting 100%… and once, I left a voicemail which they didn’t return until the next business day and — get this — they apologized! They all must be Christians… or at least Christian-friendly. The whole site is designed custom for church- or mission-use. You can choose from several templates and post media at the drop of a hat — imagine your workshops, classes, sermons, and presentations, all instantly available to your organization or church members. Everything is so intuitive, nobody needs a guidebook. Everything is jazzy flash, yet loads quickly and is extremely search engine friendly. Their price? Always exactly $1000. That’s it. Afterward, pay a small monthly web-hosting fee ($20/mo for the first 100 gig). If you’re already considering switching web hosts anyway, please try Cloversites. If you’re starting up, for sure — please give them a chance. I haven’t found anything better on the web. On top of all that, they have a very clear and purposeful roadmap to the future. See …

As you can see, they’re adding a plethora of feature, all in the next few weeks, too. Passworded pages, the ability to refer to each page with a link even though it’s flash, “slide show” objects, photo galleries, font control, and much, much more. Not bad for $20/month. And all those upgrades will be instant and free. You never have to do any upgrading to the site yourself.

(Please be sure to use the link above so they’ll know Brigada sent you their way. We would have recommended them anyway — and that’s the truth — but this way, it’s the best of both worlds: You get a snazzy, quick, world-class website, and Brigada ends up with a gift as a result of your good choice! By the way, they’ve already sent their first gift! So thanks to those who chose to try them out!)
