Church Website Outlining Our Church Vision

[jamesd]

That's what I done too Cloud

So, I added a pointer to the landing page to try and make it more obvious that the icons are clickable. Do you guys think that's enough? Any ideas to make it more obvious while still preserving an elegant design?

I personally don't like landing pages. If it was me I would ditch the landing page

So, now I am seeing quite a different site from earlier. I really liked the first one (which apparently has been removed) and, to be honest, I don't really care for this one.

A huge thumbs-down on both presentation and content.

I hate the background graphic and the page layout is just one thing after another and loads of text.

The content itself seems more about preaching a particular religious agenda at the visitor rather than engaging them in a partnership with god.

Definitely open to feedback here. The message is what it is, but do you have suggestions as to how to present this better? I agree there is loads of text, and I'm not interested in taking out any content. The idea is for people who are new to our church to find out about our vision and values, for the purpose of deciding whether it's a good fit for them. The video is brief, and the text expounds heavily on what is presented in the video. Thanks for any honest feedback.

My feedback is this

1) Don't lecture people
2) Keep the message simple
3) Make the church approachable and friendly
4) Say what you do

The current page is none of that.

On the index page of the site be ultra simple. Let people decide if they want to know more. Don't ram it down their throat. You aren't writing a book or presenting a sermon.

People will come if they want to know more. Don't scare them off.

It's just my opinion.
