I am looking to find any programs, templates, websites, etc. I need something that looks professional and premium. I am new to web design so I don’t know of the popular resources. Please point me into the right direction.
I tried google search and the options for church websites are minimal and quite plain. Most church templates are very eyecatching either.

If you aren’t good with HTML, XHTML, Java Script or flash coding you may benefit from using Microsoft Publisher. In this program, there’s an option to create websites. There are a ton of templates to choose from. All you have to do is add your text, pictures, etc. You can also change the original color of the templates. Creating a website with dynamics may require better knowledge of flash and other coding software, so using a "drag and drop" program like this one may be your best option. Microsoft publisher is usually in the Microsoft Office suite that comes with PC’s.
If you are using a MAC, another option is iWeb. This is an application that also provides templates for websites. You can either use a template or drag and drop images to design a webpage from scratch. No coding knowledge necessary.
Hope this helps.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
