How Church Banners Found the Right BigCommerce Partner After a 10-Agency Search
ChurchBanners.com is a third-generation, family-run sign company creating vibrant, faith-centered banners for ministries of all sizes. Since 2004, they’ve offered fully customizable, affordable designs that help churches communicate, welcome, and inspire. As their catalog and customer base expanded, their BigCommerce store no longer reflected the professionalism, clarity, or conversion structure their audience needed.

The Challenge
The existing theme was outdated, navigation was cluttered, and product discovery required too many steps, creating friction for mission-driven customers looking to design banners quickly. They spent months vetting a total of ten BigCommerce agencies, but most offered overpriced retainers, rigid scopes, or lacked the understanding needed for a faith-centered, service-oriented brand. What they truly needed was an ongoing partner who could redesign the site, manage SEO/GEO and email, and continue optimizing month after month instead of delivering a one-off project.
AOC became the clear choice: strategic, accessible, conversion-driven, and committed to ongoing partnership.
Project Goals
Upgrade the store to the latest Cornerstone theme.
Improve UX and simplify navigation on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Restructure product discovery for faster purchasing behavior.
Modernize homepage hierarchy and promotional placement.
Improve category clarity and visibility of featured designs.
Strengthen SEO/GEO with technical cleanup and metadata improvements.
Build authoritative backlinks and improve organic visibility.
Redesign key email flows to increase retention and cart recovery
Establish ongoing monthly monitoring and continuous optimization
Our Approach
We began with a full UX/CRO audit to identify where users stalled across navigation, homepage structure, categories, and CTAs. Then we upgraded them to the latest Cornerstone theme and rebuilt key pages with clearer hierarchy, simplified product discovery, and improved mobile behavior. Parallel to the redesign, we executed ongoing SEO/GEO improvements, technical cleanup, metadata updates, and authoritative backlink building. We also rebuilt key email flows to support cart recovery and nurture. All work was delivered under our Monthly Service Model, ensuring continual monitoring, improvements, and proactive recommendations.
Outcome
ChurchBanners.com now has a modern, intuitive BigCommerce store that better reflects their mission, improves browsing across all devices, and drives higher engagement and conversions. Backed by ongoing CRO, SEO/GEO, and email optimization, the site continues to evolve monthly. Instead of a vendor waiting for tasks, they now have a proactive growth partner aligned with their long-term vision for helping churches communicate, inspire, and spread their message.
