Site Review: FUMC Birmingham

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Church: First United Methodist - Birmingham, Michigan URL: http://www.fumcbirmingham.org/ Initial thoughts Your home page is laid out very well. The menu on the left is a bit hard to read with the cross & flame behind it, but isn't too bad. I know the UMC can be picky about how the ...

Site review: Victory Life Center

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Church: Victory Life Center - Pittsburg, Kansas URL: www.victorylifecenter.org Initial thoughts One of the first things my eyes were drawn to was the heart in the upper right corner that said "1 John 3:16-24" (note - not John, but 1 John). Offhand, I don't know what that verse is. I ...

Site review: Archdale UMC

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Church: Archdale UMC - Archdale, NC URL: http://www.archdaleumc.com/ Initial thoughts Your front page has a lot going for it, but I wonder if it's not too much. The first thing that caught my eye was the weather ticker on the top of the page. Is that really needed? The first ...

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Church: First UMC - Mt. Ephraim, NJ URL: http://www.njfaith.com/ Note: A follow-up to this review was posted in July, 2007.  Initial thoughts I like the faces on the front and the "visitor questions" button right near the top. However, the title of the site threw me off. When I looked down ...

Site review: Sojourn

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Church: Sojourn - Voorhees, NJ URL: http://www.gatheringfaith.com/ Initial thoughts Good looking site. Soft colors, sharp graphics, quick-loading and easy to read. I was wondering what "Sojourn" meant, and having the answer on the front page is a nice move. I like when a church has some real text on the ...

Site review: Stonebriar Community Church

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Church: Stonebriar Community Church - Frisco, Texas URL: http://www.stonebriar.org The first glance at this site is very impressive. Nice colors, good use of whitespace, and some slick rollovers. I checked out the site in Firefox 2, IE 7 and Opera 8.5. It looked great in FF and Opera, but something was ...
