All done. Would have preferred not to use ASP but I didn't have a choice. Any crit is welcome. It's no cssbeauty, but I tried to keep the code tidy and clean, while doing my best graphically. Thanks ahead for any advice or comments. LINK

Crit / Comment what?

dtrenz · 24-08-2006, 17:41

fetusface · 24-08-2006, 20:27

ahahah beat me to it.....

excessive use of the web 2.0 style................personally the site works and everything but i dont find it suits the subject matter.

It's nice and all, but it doesn't feel churchy to me. But it's pretty solid overall.

jthomas · 24-08-2006, 23:48

I wasn't really going for 2.0. I was just going for a good design. You're right that it doesn't feel churchy. To be honest, I didn't do that on purpose. I actually wouldn't mind it feeling more churchy. I'd rather it be solid and nice than way off, so I'm satisfied. Thanks for the crits. As I probably won't re-do anything, I'll keep these things in mind for the future.

Well, it's defo not way off.

It works. It's nice and contemporary.

Limbo · 25-08-2006, 05:17

It technically excellent and the design is sound, but like it's been said, does it fit the brief? - feels more evian than anglican.

A switch of some of the Type might got more holiness in there - something romanesque would be the obvious choice - certainly a serif or two more than you have.

jthomas · 25-08-2006, 12:25

I will try some serifs. I will admit, I steered away from the churchy feel. Any specific font in mind? Maybe some Georgia?

gray · 25-08-2006, 12:27

Serifs helped a lot. Thank you.
