Like the windows/rainbow graphics at top of page. Layout looks clean and so far, easier to find. However, it is challenging to give you feedback, as links don’t seem to exist to things or I get booted out and have to start over. Is this me or the web site?
When I did link to Social Justice Council – just got the old stuff, wrong info.
Those are exactly the kinds of things we need noted.
devoted to “Love Beyond Belief” – sounds like a fundamentalist Christian slogan…….I don’t see this congregation as that touch-feely.
Would be great to see separate breakout pages for children’s programs & youth programs instead of lumping them together, perhaps even Mid-High & La Amikoj pages. Would be a terrific learning opportunity for youth reps for each of these groups to work with the webmaster to update their information.
The site as a whole is beautiful and clean, and I’m really excited about it!
However, I’m a little concerned about the navigation. I find the functioning of the top-menu tabs and their drop-down menus confusing. If you click directly on the tabs, the results are inconsistent: Under “Support” you get nothing but a comment box, under “Connect” you get a menu, under “About Us” you get the Mission Covenant.
Moreover, since the drop-down menus appear as soon as you mouse over the tabs (at least in Chrome on Windows), people may be unaware that they can click the tabs directly. That makes pages that are only accessible that way invisible, like the “Caring Community” page. If you’re just mousing over the tabs, you might think the only resource under “Care” is “Support Groups,” which would be unfortunate since those aren’t even in-house programs (and community is one of the biggest reasons people come to church).
I think clicking on the top-level tabs, if it’s an option, should consistently lead you to a simple introductory page from which everything on the drop-down menu can be accessed. (Sort of like when you click on the “Connect” tab, only I’d reorganize that page to put the intro at the top.) Or something along those lines.
