Then offer unlimited, right? Even if it means raising your prices, then your clients would probably like paying more knowing that pricing is predictable. Also, I think a free trial would be nice. Just set everything up and then show it to them. Hard to say no to that. And like patio11 recommended in one of his blog posts, write up a checklist of every feature, something that can be printed out and passed around to the decision makers. I think you also need to make sure you're emphasizing how the site can help boost their attendance and donations and lower their administrative costs. And on that note, have you added many donation-related features? E.g., a meter to reach goals, themed donation drives, paypal/credit integration, and maybe an online merch store for church goods?

Thanks for the input and suggestions. The problem with a free trial is that the websites are built on WordPress. No matter what the WordPress community wants to think about the CMS, it's not the most user friendly piece of software for people are only comfortable with sending emails and checking Facebook. My target audience is very non-technical so training is always included before sites are turned over. I toyed around with a free trial but found it wasn't a good idea because no one knew how to use the WordPress backend. >I think you also need to make sure you're emphasizing how the site can help boost their attendance and donations and lower their administrative costs This is definitely true and something I need to work on. One of my biggest obstacles is writing content that will clearly explain the advantages of utilizing a website instead of just having a "brochure site" thrown up on some random host.
