Title: church website
Post by: centran on April 21, 2006, 04:39:21 AM
I posted a template but no one responded so now I am consinered that it sucks. BTW, I deleted the post if you go looking for it.

This is for a church parish and school. Not as nice of a design as the other church website, but I think it will do. It is just a simple banner/2column/footer design.

You can click on the white school tab to go to another site using the same template but different colors.

Well, you certainly dragged it through the color spectrum didn't you?

I'm curious, when I clicked on the "School" link in the top navigation was I transported to a new Website? That's the impression I got because of the complete color change. I would watch this, because this can be very confusing. All your Web Pages should have a consistent look.

You have three different link styles on one page. It's OK for the main navigation to have a separate look from text links embedded into the page, but your top navigation links (Church / School) should be the same as your main navigation - (which should be a darker color when rolled over).

I would consider adding a border to the site to tidy it up.

They are two seperate sites. The Parish has a school and church. That is why the sites look similar, but I wanted to make sure they where different enough so people get the idea that one site is for church/Parish specific stuff and the other one is for the school.

Where do you mean add a border? Around the entire container I assume.

I am not happy about the church/school tabs. I needed a way to switch between the two sites and that is what I came up with.
