Altara is one of our church web templates: a reverent, modern HTML5 template for churches, parishes and ministries. Lenten violet and liturgical gold, an EB Garamond serif and cathedral photography give it the quiet weight of a sanctuary. Underneath, the church actually works: a service clock that knows when the next service starts, events that never go out of date, sermons that play, and giving that does the arithmetic. Light and dark mode and right-to-left versions of both homes come included.

Two Home Pages

• Home 01 – A Place For Every Family: a stained-glass hero slider with WebGL light rays and a side rail. Then come the service times bar with a live service clock, the about collage and community work. Finally, the page ends with the featured event with a countdown, ministries, counters, pastors, the current appeal where ten candles light to the real share of the goal as you scroll, testimonials, the latest sermon with its player and the blog.
• Home 02 – Bread For The City: copy beside a photograph cut to an arched church window and the weekly services. Then come a stained-glass band that warms from grey dusk to full colour as it scrolls, about, ministries, the gallery mosaic, monthly partner plans, a message form for the pastor, previous pastors, community work and this week’s sermons.

Church Pages

• Service Clock: reads the visitor’s own clock and shows “Live Now” during a service, otherwise the next service and a live countdown.
• Events: built from repeat rules (the 2nd Friday of the month, every Wednesday, or a set date), so the calendar is always current. A month calendar, filter tabs, seats left, ticket packages and Add To Calendar (.ics) files.
• Sermons: a library with search, series, speaker and book filters, sort and pages, and one audio player that follows the visitor across the page.
• Giving: causes with real progress and days left. It also has a give form with presets, monthly giving and an exact cover-the-card-fee option, and monthly partner plans.
• Plan Your Visit: a four-step planner that places each child in a room by age, saves the seats and ends with a reference and a calendar file.
• Prayer Wall, Ministry Finder, Verse Of The Day and a searchable FAQ.
• Church Shop: catalogue with filters, product page, cart with coupons and delivery, checkout and wishlist, all remembered between pages.

Inner Pages

Altara includes About, Our History (timeline) and Our Pastors (role filter). It also has Ministries 01 and 02, Ministry Details, Sermons, Sermon Details and Events. Then come Event Details, Plan Your Visit, Prayer Wall, Donations, Donation Details and FAQ. There are also Shop, Product Details, Cart, Checkout and Wishlist. It also has Blog (image, gallery, video and quote posts) and Blog Details. Then come Contact (working PHP form and map), Login, Register and Forgot Password. Finally, there are Coming Soon (live countdown) and 404 – 32 pages in total, including the two RTL homes.
