Masjids, musallas & Islamic centers
Four things bring people to a masjid website: today's salah times, what time Jumuah starts, how to give, and whether the weekend school still has seats. Everything else is decoration. We built the sites for Masjid As-Sunnah in St. Paul and Dar Al Qalam Center in Minneapolis, and in neither case was design the real problem. The problem was a salah table typed by hand in March, iqamah times the board changed in June, and one volunteer with the only login who moved away in August.
We have built two sites in this sector, Masjid As-Sunnah in St. Paul and Dar Al Qalam Center in Minneapolis, which has served the community since 2012, and we would rather say two than imply twenty.
A masjid website fails differently than a business website. It does not lose a lead; it sends someone to the door at the wrong time, and once the times are wrong nobody trusts the programs page either. Adhan times can be calculated from your coordinates. Iqamah times cannot, because your board decides them, moves them a few times a year, and needs to change them from a phone in the parking lot after Isha. Build around that person and the site is still right three Ramadans from now.
Worth knowing
Zakat, sadaqah and general operating donations are not interchangeable, and a single Donate button that dumps everything into one bucket creates a real problem for the treasurer and a quiet discomfort for the donor. We build designated flows so a giver can see exactly what their money is counted as, with recurring giving offered on the sadaqah and operating paths where it is appropriate. Payment processing is worth a conversation too — some communities prefer to avoid interest-bearing arrangements and card-fee structures, and there are processors that handle this better than others.
Published ranges, not a call-for-pricing page. These are what projects in this sector actually land at with us. Your number depends on page count, functionality, and how much content support you need.
Masjid essentials site
Prayer times, Jumuah, giving, programs, contact, and an announcement bar. The right scope for a masjid with one building, one Jumuah, and a volunteer who will keep it current.
$2,500 to $5,000
Islamic center with school and programs
Adds weekend school registration, Ramadan and Eid modules, event and banquet ticketing, right-to-left Arabic pages, and donation designations your treasurer can reconcile without a spreadsheet in April.
$5,000 to $12,000
Ongoing care
We keep iqamah changes, Ramadan pages, and janazah notices current, and we watch the hosting through the Ramadan spike, so the site does not depend on one volunteer who is also teaching Sunday school.
$75 to $250 / month

Proof
Real projects, real organizations, live sites you can go and look at.
Masjid As-Sunnah was established in 2014 after long consideration of the needs of the community in the upper side of St. Paul. Since their founding, they have been dedicated to serving the community with faith, education, and unity.
Dar Al Qalam Center was established in 2012 by a group of dedicated teachers and community members who saw the need for a center that serves as a religious and educational hub for the communities of Minneapolis.
Darul Uloom New York, founded in 1997, set out to create an institution where children are educated in a humble Islamic environment with traditional Islamic values, coupled with a firm background in secular education, to produce the Muslim scholars of the future.

FAQ
Both columns, and yours. Adhan times are calculated for your exact coordinates using the method your imam follows, whether that is ISNA, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, or a local convention your board settled on years ago. Iqamah times come from you through a screen the office secretary can use. In June, when the sky here never gets fully dark, we apply the ruling your masjid already uses for Isha instead of whatever a plugin defaults to.
Yes, and you should. We set up designated funds, zakat, sadaqah, sadaqah jariyah, zakat al-fitr, and the building fund, so the intent is tagged when the gift is made rather than reconstructed in January. We also add the option for the donor to cover the processing fee, which most boards want once they see what a card processor takes out of zakat.
Usually a volunteer, and usually the one who is about to move. So we register the domain in the masjid's own name, put hosting on an account the board controls, and hand the credentials to two people in writing instead of one. Then we train whoever does the weekly posting on the four things they will actually do: iqamah changes, announcements, janazah, and events. If nobody has the time, the care plan covers it.
Sometimes, and we will tell you when the answer is no. Arabic needs real right-to-left layout and a typeface that renders the script properly, not a widget that reverses the punctuation and mistranslates religious terms. Somali and Oromo pages earn their keep when somebody will maintain them. When nobody will, a recorded khutbah and a phone number that a person answers reach more of your community than three stale translations.
Partly, and the larger share of that answer is your Google Business Profile rather than your homepage, so we fix both. Correct Friday hours, the right category, a photo of the actual entrance people should walk through, and prayer times published in a form Google can read. The person searching at 12:40 on a Friday in an unfamiliar suburb is who this is for, and they will not scroll.
