What it does

Sermons from YouTube

Add your channel once; new videos arrive as sermons every hour with titles, speakers and thumbnails. No API key needed.

Events

One-off and repeating events with “add to my calendar”; Pro can also import a calendar feed (Google, Outlook, ChurchSuite and others).

Plan a visit

Visitors pick a congregation and a service day; your welcome team gets the request and the visitor gets directions.

Giving and stories

A giving page with your links and bank details (no payment processing), community stories, and optional private prayer requests.

Questions

Does it take donations?
The giving page shows your own giving links, bank details and Gift Aid note. Payments stay with the giving service you already use; the kit doesn’t process money.
Do sermon videos set YouTube cookies?
Sermon videos load only when the visitor presses play and has allowed embedded content in the cookie banner, so nothing from YouTube loads before consent.
Where is our data kept?
In your own WordPress database, on your own hosting. There is no Gradespace cloud: our server only sees your licence key and website address, when your site checks its licence and updates.
Is it a one-off payment?
Yes. You pay once, the licence lasts for life and every future update is included. There are no renewals or subscriptions.
What do I need to run it?
A WordPress website (6.8 or later, PHP 8.0 or later) on any ordinary host. You install the free Gradespace Core plugin, the kit’s plugin and its theme, then the setup wizard walks you through the rest.
What counts as a website?
One licence covers one live website (Agency covers 5). Local and staging copies (localhost, .local, .test, staging.… and dev.… addresses) are free and never use up your licence.
Can you install it for me?
Yes. Done-for-you installation is from £99: we install Gradespace Core, the kit and its theme on your hosting, activate your licence, run the setup wizard with your details and hand it over with a short walkthrough. Complete setup and customisation, from £299, adds your content, bookings, forms and emails, small design tweaks, redirects from your old site, a staff training session and 30 days of help after launch. The price depends on your hosting and the size of the site, and is agreed before we start. Prices include VAT where it applies, and the kit licence is bought separately. Ask for a quote on our contact page.
Can I change the design later?
Yes. Choose a different design and colour palette in Site Settings → Design & colours at any time; your content stays as it is. You can preview a choice privately before visitors see it.
How do updates work?
Updates come from thegradespace.com and install with one click from the WordPress Updates screen. Each release is tested against the current version of WordPress first, and says which version it’s tested up to.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Move from Starter to Pro or Agency by paying the difference, from your licences page or from the kit’s Licence tab in WordPress. Your key stays the same.
Refunds
14-day money-back: if the kit isn't right for you, ask within 14 days of buying for a full refund (the licence is then switched off).
