Default Church Site Review

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering your opinions on my clients church site. The site was built to look like the inside of their church.

Any suggestions would be nice.

Wonderfully colorful design - here's a first blush:

The text on the colors can be an eye-strain after the initial page view. If you have visually challenged users, they'll get lost in the colors.

The upper nav is cool, but a bit too close to the fold. It isn't always obvious when you've changed pages. This could be resolved by having the first tier pages (pages behind the home page) have the text on white and scaling the upper nav down a bit on those pages.

I like the home page, and you could make it's text more effective using small text boxes with white backgrounds and reducing the text size. This shouldn't detract from the images.

Also think about using the same font on the bottom nav that you use predominantly - it visually ties things together better, and I'm not a serif font fan for Web stuff - looks dated (1st generation Web).

Love that home page image - it really does a good job of communicating a comfortable feeling.

Hope this helps.

I agree with the other posts that the font/BG contrast needs to be reworked.
