I can has feedback?

Posted: October 9th, 2009 | Author: Karolijn | Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

This is my first crack at designing a website so I’m looking for as much constructive feedback as possible.

This is for a church website (can’t do anything about the logo) with a median population age of mid-30s.

The premise of the community is that it is similar in its revivalist essence like the crazy-costal churches but on the more liberal end of the spectrum.

Ideally it will be as expandable and flexible as possible.

There are some font problems with the tagline + headers – that’s due to working on 2 different computers – just ignore that (the services and news & events headlines have the correct font).

This is the front page only and will feature blog posts by Marty – the subpage is intended to be pretty much the same, not sure if the sidebar would go there or not yet.

Some of the things I’ve struggled with are: positioning of the social media badges (especially if I only use 2), background colours/pattern that can repeat/stretch, and the positioning/style of the tagline (which ended up impacting the headers).

Thoughts?

    few quick things:

    1) bit more padding height-wise on the nav. Give the text a bit more breathing space, and the user more area to click.

    2) separate the “news and events” section. Could be hard to see events if news items keep pushing them out of the window, and vice versa.

    3) imagery is good. maybe try putting some actual photographs somewhere? emphasis the sense of community.

    otherwise, looks sharp!
