I like it! For one I would remove the link borders around the Facebook and Twitter icons (at least they show up in Firefox, not sure about other browsers). I couldn't find your address at first but then found it on the 'Meetings' page. That might be something you could also put on the 'About' page or 'Contact' page to make it a little more obvious to find for slow people like me Other than that it looks good. Simple, doesn't overwhelm you with information. What platform are you using?

Looks real nice

I really like it. I agree with what LeAnn said. I too would like to know about the platform that you are using.

thanks for the input, will defiantly make those changes!

(which platform?) I began with a template from dreamtemplate.com** and use dreamweaver to customize it. Ill probably end up making a wordpress version of the design down the road so other church plants could easily use it.

**not sure if this is against some rules but if your interested it signing up for dreamtemplete and want to help a poor media director/evangelist, go to my affiliate link in the side bar of http://www.urbanevangie.com/ these templates have been a huge help for a JV web designer like me.

Looks really good. Ditto on LeAnns comments about the link borders. The simple solution to the address thing is to put it in the footer, that way it shows up on every page. Add the phone # and it's all good.

I have built a couple of sites around WP and there hasn't been anything yet that I couldn't get done with the right plugin. Also makes maintenance easier for volunteers.

God Bless,
Pete

Looks great! Seems to have everything a church website needs: location, service times, etc. If I could change one thing, though, it would be the pictures. I see a lot of group pictures of people in Bible studies and services, but I don't see any close up pictures of smiling faces.

Good job on it!

I'm very impressed. I also like the little graphic built out of dots, simple but the more you look at the more you can read into it.
