Website Review

Website Development Team

Here are some of the things we need to discuss:

1. Who are our target audiences?
2. What are we trying to communicate to them?
3. What information is really necessary on the website?
4. Design issues: what does the design of the website communicate about us as a community?
5. How do we balance aesthetics with ease-of-use?

In preparation for our meeting, please look up some church websites (of churches with similar demographics and also the "way-out-there"). It will be helpful for us to think through some of these items by comparing what other churches do.

Here are just a few examples I like:

• http://northaven.org
• http://kingofglory.com
• http://sa.uca.org.au
• http://aberfoyle.org.au
• http://thecommunitychurch.org
• http://saintgregorys.org
• http://ecofaith.org/

All of these are different and I don't think we should emulate any one of them in particular - just some ideas
