We are putting together a new web site for the church.
We currently have what I refer to as a “stub” site set up. It is one of my own design and meant just so we could have something more up to date than the old one while the new one is in development. It is adequate, but not completely presentable.
In the meantime I am studying over lots of church web sites for ideas on our own. I will occasionally feel the need to comment on them.
The first example is from http://thesprings.org/
I like the flash, but unfortunately I am having trouble viewing it right now since I am testing a Linux system and I have not been able to get Flash installed on it yet.
The problem is the bottom half of the front page. It went from classy to trashy. Someone put some artistic talent into the top portion and then someone messed it up at the bottom with the links and that horrible graphic.
I wonder if the design was too restrictive for them to do it properly.
Update: For the record. I visited their site again and it has changed. It was completely redesigned.
