Why Service Designer?

• Service Designer simply has more content than any other software. It contains thousands of hymns in addition to thousands of worship songs. It has notation files, MIDI files, lyrics, and the lectionary as well as web links. You simply won't find all this in any other software.
• Service Designer has been on the market and upgraded consistently since 1989 (formerly HymnSearch); the longest of any software of its type. That's eons in internet time!
• We provide support by e-mail, fax and voice for each version's lifetime, not just a 90-day "window".
• Don't just take our word for it. Here's what a longtime user says: “I have tried the software from Integrity and from CCLI (SongSelect), as well as the Service Designer software from Tempo. I much prefer the Service Designer software. It has listings from so many different hymnals as well as chorus books -- including Integrity and Maranatha! Music. It works on a network, which is very handy for secretaries. It automatically builds CCLI reports. It even plays the music!” -- G.C. (large Baptist church in the midwest)
