    The bottom menu place

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 5:18 PM

    Hi,

    Very nice webdesign! I like it. I'll change the bottom menu place, i'll put it on right, like the top. I'll put the social bar between the main content block and the footer.

    I like the logo, very in line with the subject, and the texture of the background. Nice !

    Bye

    Looks great.

    Very hard to fault. But 1 improvement. How about recolouring of the long bar with the twitter/facebook links in it. It looks very similar to the bg colour and it may look nice with a contrast bg. Otherwise very very good design. One of my favourites.

    very clean design

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 5:35 PM

    simple and clean design - I like it - I might like just to align the navigation - say the contact menu aligned with the right side of the header box

    apart from that - well done

    a few bits - nice concept

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 6:02 PM

    Hi Mike,

    I think this is really clean and sharp.

    A few minor things:

    1. I can't read the 'do this in remembrance of me" very easily.

    2. The top half looks more modern than the lower half - maybe because the lower half has flat color in thirds? Not sure. Maybe because all the square edges?

    3. The logo could probably be bigger.

    4. Why is there texture on the left side of the background but not the right? There could be a good reason, I'm just not sure.

    Good luck.

    --Shane

    Does the job

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 6:16 PM

    Reminds me of the lyric"be elusive .but don't go far".

    Does the job as you explained it manages to be formally hip. The main photo solar flare is annoying even for a month. i think it could stand some"reminders of faith"dogma even when its hip needs triggers.

    Background Color

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 9:18 PM

    Hmm from the header everything is fine. But as the page goes down it tends to lack. The thing that needs the most work would be the content area, It is just to plain and bland. Maybe try to spice it a little bit. Throw in some more color? The background color is also just.. to bland. Maybe create something more unique? Add a drop shadow or outer glow (Very little one) to the whole "Page"

    great start

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 9:37 PM

    god bless ya,

    i think this is off to a good start. I like the background and the banner but i think the content area is laking.

    im my opinino the gray middle is distracting and i think there is too much text with very will icon or graphic elements. Also i think you might want to take a look at your line height and bump it up a bit.

    other then that i think you have a great look site here.

    looks like a blog..

    Posted on Nov 30, 2009 at 4:58 AM

    I think the layout like a blog template not a church website? There may be added some element picture of the church so that people understand that it is a church website

    I like everything except the content area

    Posted on Nov 30, 2009 at 8:44 AM

    The content area is pulling this design down. I would try and redesign the content area to match the quality of the rest of the site. The social media links don't look right where they are. They should go somewhere else, they look like secondary navigation.
