I’ve got to agree with Andrew and Juan - big ups for going outside of the normal church website design. I do find myself feeling pretty lost in the design. The main navigation is useful to get me into the sections that I’m interested in, but beyond that, my eyes kind of freak out a bit while I look for the information that I need… they continue to be pulled to the header art rather than the content. However, as I scroll down past the header, it’s obviously a lot easier to not feel overwhelmed.

@Andrew/Juan/Hari, you people are just too afraid of color.
Great, consistent design. I felt like I could navigate and get basic information about the church fairly well. Thanks for having “I’m New” right up top.
It would help if you had more pictures/graphics to break up the text (the Ministries page does this well). Also, the calendar is a bit overwhelming with all of the events. I suggest not including things that happen every week (worship services, etc).
Overall, great job.

Different! Young and hip. If the target audience is the 18-25 range, you’re right on! Good job!

wow.... I think that is the busiest site I’ve ever seen. It was actually kinda overwhelming.
I do, however, like the fact that they tried to think out side of the normal church site designs.
Development looks good. - I would be a really cool series design, might not be the best for a full website.
Good job though over all

Too hard to navigate. I feel no warmth.

It does kinda give me a Hillsong United feeling...not bad of course. It just may not be for everyone.
