How to make a website for a gurudwara

Sangat new to the area, families planning an Akhand Path or Anand Karaj, and visitors passing through all look up the gurudwara before they come. They want the diwan and langar timings, the Gurpurab programme, and whom to ask about a path. A simple website from the prabandhak committee answers these and puts the office on WhatsApp.

What people look for on a gurudwara website

• Daily timings: Prakash, Nitnem, Asa di Var, Rehras Sahib, Kirtan Sohila and Sukhasan
• Langar hours, and whether langar runs all day or at set times
• Gurpurab and Sangrand programmes, with this year's dates and the ragi jathas invited
• How families can arrange an Akhand Path, Sehaj Path or Anand Karaj through the office
• Guidance for first-time visitors: covering the head, removing shoes, washing hands, no tobacco
• Facilities: jora ghar, parking, a hall for functions, Gurmukhi or kirtan classes if held
• Directions and the prabandhak committee's office hours

The pages your website needs

• Home: The gurudwara's name, today's diwan timings, langar hours, the next Gurpurab and a WhatsApp button for the office
• Daily programme and Gurpurabs: The daily diwan schedule, Sangrand, and the year's Gurpurab programmes with special timings
• Paths and ceremonies: How to arrange Akhand Path, Sehaj Path, Anand Karaj or Ardas for a family occasion, and whom to contact
• Langar and seva: Langar timings, how the sangat can join seva in the langar hall, and classes held at the gurudwara
• Visiting and contact: Guidance for visitors, facilities, the committee, address, landmark, office hours and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

1. Decide the pages. Most gurudwara websites need these pages: Home, Daily programme and Gurpurabs, Paths and ceremonies, Langar and seva, Visiting and contact.
2. Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
3. Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
4. Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
5. Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your gurudwara, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a gurudwara website

• Let the committee approve the wording, especially the history and the names used for Gurbani and ceremonies.
• Change the timings for each Gurpurab and Sangrand in the chat, and remove the special timings after.
• Use photos of the building, the langar hall and the nishan sahib; ask before showing sangat members' faces.
• Don't put bank or UPI details for donations on the website. Ask the sangat to contact the office, or the committee can accept offerings in its own app.
• Explain visitor guidance warmly, since many first-time visitors are unsure what to do.
• Add the gurudwara to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile, with the office's phone number.

What it costs

• Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
• Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
• Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
• Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

• The website can't take donations, book a path or register volunteers for seva; the sangat contacts the office on WhatsApp or by phone. For path bookings, a langar seva roster and offerings through the committee's own Razorpay account, a gurudwara app is the better fit.
• The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
• A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
• Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Can the sangat give donations on the gurudwara website?

No. The website has no payments, and it is safer not to show account details on it. The committee can accept offerings in its own app through its own Razorpay account, or at the gurudwara.

Can families book an Akhand Path on the website?

Not directly. The paths and ceremonies page explains how it is arranged, and the WhatsApp button reaches the office to fix a date.

Can the website show the Gurpurab programme for the whole year?

Yes. List the year's Gurpurabs on the daily programme page and add each one's special timings and invited jathas before the day.

Can we link to live kirtan from the gurudwara?

Yes. If the committee streams kirtan on YouTube, the website can embed the stream or link to the channel. AppCub doesn't stream video itself.

Can the website be in Punjabi?

The pages are made in English. Names like Rehras Sahib, Sukhasan and Anand Karaj are written as the sangat knows them.
