Every project is ground-up, built for its church and its series. These are a few examples of what that actually looks like on a stage.

Nathan Robb · Founder

Canton, OH · 12+ years on church tech teams

Crazy Amazing Designs has always just been me, but I've led a lot of teams of volunteers and staff along the way. I started as a kid running the booth and just couldn't stop asking "how does that work?" As I learned, I taught others. I started making YouTube videos. I started building stage designs. Now I reach thousands of churches every year. Every template I sell, every piece of gear I recommend, is something I've built or used myself.

If it's on this site, it's because I stand behind it.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear a lot.

What is Crazy Amazing Designs?

Crazy Amazing Designs is Nathan Robb’s training and coaching brand for church tech teams. We make practical training content, templates, and tools for churches that want better audio, video, lighting, and streams — without guessing, and without spending enterprise money.

You’ll find us on YouTube with hundreds of free tutorials, here on the website with templates and tools in the shop, and on Zoom for personalized coaching.

How do I get my file after I buy a template?

Right after you complete checkout, Stripe sends you an email with a download link to the file. If you don’t see it within a few minutes, check your spam folder — or send us a note and we’ll get it to you directly.

What ProPresenter versions and platforms do your templates work on?

The ProPresenter Quick Start Template is built for ProPresenter 7.1 and beyond and works on both Mac and Windows. It includes install guides for both the newer Workspaces format (v7.20+) and legacy versions, plus tips for transferring your old content into the new template.

If you’re on a different console or software and unsure whether something we sell will work for you, ask before you buy — we’d rather answer a question than take your money and not deliver.

What does a training session cost?

Training pricing depends on the format:

  • One-on-one or team Zoom training — hourly, booked through our calendar
  • Monthly coaching — $140/month for ongoing sessions plus phone and email support
  • On-site consulting — $700 per day plus travel and expenses

Templates and digital tools in the shop start at $17. See the Training page for full details, or browse the shop for downloadable resources.

What if I buy a template and I can't get it working?

Send us a note with a screenshot or a description of what’s going wrong, and we’ll help you get it running. We don’t want you stuck — every template ships with detailed install instructions, and we’re happy to hop on a quick Zoom if that’s faster.

If it turns out the template genuinely won’t work for your setup, we’ll refund you. See our refund policy for details.

What gear and software do you cover?

The short version: most of what small-to-medium churches actually use. The longer version:

  • Presentation — ProPresenter 7 (deeply), EasyWorship basics
  • Audio consoles — Behringer X32 / Midas M32 family, Allen & Heath SQ-5, Behringer WING
  • Video switchers — BlackMagic ATEM Mini through ATEM Constellation
  • Streaming — OBS, vMix, direct-to-platform workflows (YouTube, Facebook, Church Online)
  • Lighting — DMX basics, Art-Net, pixel mapping, Resolume Arena for LED projection
  • Control — BitFocus Companion with StreamDeck
  • Networking — Dante audio networks, AVB basics, managed switches

If you’re running something we haven’t listed, ask anyway. There’s a good chance we’ve touched it.

Who is Nathan and why should I trust him with my church's tech?

Nathan Robb is a working Tech Director who’s been running production for churches for more than a decade. He’s built and maintained complete audio, video, lighting, and streaming systems — not as a consultant who shows up for a day, but as the person who owns it on Sunday mornings and fixes it when it breaks at 9:47am.

CAD exists because most church tech advice online is either too generic or assumes you have a Fortune 500 budget. We teach the practical stuff — what actually works for real volunteer teams on real budgets.

What consoles and software do you actually know?

The short list of what we coach and consult on day-to-day:

  • Audio: Behringer X32 / Midas M32, Dante networks, in-ear monitor rigs, wireless mic systems
  • Video: Blackmagic ATEM switchers, HyperDeck recorders, PTZ cameras (Canon, PTZOptics), livestream encoders
  • Presentation: ProPresenter 7+, with specific expertise in workflows, macros, looks, and MIDI control
  • Lighting: DMX / Art-Net / sACN, pixel tape, Enttec controllers, lighting consoles (Onyx, grandMA, MagicQ at a basic level)
  • Control & Automation: BitFocus Companion, Stream Deck, MIDI controllers, show control

If you’re running something we don’t list, ask — there’s a good chance we can help anyway.

Do you offer refunds on digital products?

Yes. If a template or tool isn’t what you expected, email us within 14 days of purchase and we’ll refund you, no questions asked. We’d rather have you happy than hold onto $27.

For coaching sessions, refunds are handled case-by-case — reach out and we’ll figure it out.

Can I get a recording of my Zoom training?

Yes — just ask at the start of the call. Nathan records the session on request and sends you the video file afterward so you can re-watch it, share it with your team, or reference it later.

Recordings are free. We don’t charge extra for them.

Can my church pay by check or invoice instead of credit card?

Yes. Most of the stuff on our shop uses Stripe for instant checkout, but for monthly coaching, on-site consulting, and larger engagements, we can send an invoice your church’s bookkeeper can pay by ACH or check.

Send a note and tell us which item you’re trying to pay for — we’ll set up the invoice right away.

Are the gear links on your site affiliate links?

Yes — the product links on our Recommended Gear page are Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Crazy Amazing Designs earns a small commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

We only link gear we’d recommend whether or not we earned a dime on it. If something stops being worth recommending, we take the link down.

Do you travel for on-site work?

Yes. Nathan has traveled across the US and internationally for church production work, installs, and consulting. On-site rates are $700/day plus travel and expenses.

For on-site requests, use the contact form instead of booking directly so we can talk through dates, scope, and logistics first.
