Our team

Owned and staffed by Orthodox Christians

Orthodox Web Solutions began in 2003 to help churches and ministries build and keep quality websites. We are priests, seminarians and laypeople from different jurisdictions, with an office just outside Ocean City, Maryland.

More about Rdr. Nicholas

I am the Director of Communications for the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), where I manage diocesan communications and assist with parish websites, news, digital archives, social media, and online content. As a Reader in the Orthodox Church, I understand the unique needs of clergy, parishes, and diocesan organizations. I especially enjoy projects that help communities communicate who they are more clearly, and I approach each one with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to serving the Church.

More about Mat. Alena

I am a copywriter and web designer who helps Orthodox parishes tell their story online: with warmth, clarity, and a genuine understanding of Orthodox life. I create websites and write copy that welcomes visitors, communicates the life of the parish, and helps people take that first step through the church doors. With nearly two decades of experience in nonprofit communications and fundraising, I know how to turn information into words that connect with people and inspire them to get involved.

Founder and developer
Server + database administration, graphic design, custom coding, 360° tours, video and special projects.
More about Fr. John

I am an Orthodox priest and the founder of Orthodox Web Solutions, which I began in 2003 so that churches could have beautiful websites without needing a webmaster on staff. I serve Christ the Savior Church in Berlin, Maryland, where our own parish website is the proving ground for nearly everything the Site Manager can do. My favorite projects are custom designs: finding what makes a community distinct and letting its website show it. When your job lands with me, you are working with the person behind the platform, and I will treat your church's site as if it were my own.
