Hi,

I have a couple of suggestions for your site, I hope you don't mind.
1. Post your schedule of services on your front page. It is one of the main things people are looking for so don't make them hunt for it.

2. Put your announcments on your news & updates. It will give them prominence on your site and make them easier to edit.

This will also shorten your menu and make your site more attrative and eaiser to navagate.

In reply to Pb062384.

Jumping on your point about ADD & people getting bored, when it comes to websites one of the most important things we need to do is keep things simple and clear. Too often we just try to say too much – too much text, too many options. In many cases less is more.

So Paul has the bleeding stopped yet? You really cut up your page. In this visual age I do believe that we need to make our pages, sites and blogs more attractive with good visuals. I know that when I go on a site I am more attracted to the initial impression, then I get into the content. But if the content isn't visually appealing I can get distracted easily. If that means I'm ADD then so be it. But as a pastor I have learned to add visuals when ever I teach or preach. This doesn't always mean a power point presentation because I believe that can get boring also. The average attention span the last time I checked was 8 minutes. So at least every 8 minutes we need to change the visual to help keep people centered on the project at hand.
