# New Look, New Site

The Church Factory is going through some changes.

The Church Factory is going through some changes. Same owner, same writer but instead of being based on WordPress, we’re moving to Ghost.

Ghost is a CMS designed for sites like ours. Meaning it’s primarily designed for writing and membership sites. Our goal moving forward will be to get you to sign up (lower right-hand corner) for a free account. By signing up, you’ll get access to exclusive content and email newsletters with our latest posts. As of now, we only plan to offer free membership, but that will probably change in the future if we decide to offer an ad-free membership of some kind.

Want to see more about Ghost? We plan to go in a deep dive soon about why Ghost may or may not benefit your church. Make sure you’re subscribed, so you don’t miss out!

Why does this matter to me? Well, it probably doesn’t. You get to see the same content, just on a different-looking site. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please reach out!
