Our church is currently revamping its website, and I saw this one and it's basically become the standard to which I think all churches should be compared.
If that is the standard, then all churches have sold their selves to the devil. If I hired someone to design a website and they came back with this garbage, I'd print out the directions to the closest welfare office so they can go ahead and start applying for unemployment.
1) It's all in flash
2) It doesn't work on modern mobile devices because it's in flash
3) No mobile version of the website
4) Intro videos to a website are as antiquated as AOL
5) It bombards you with loud audio as soon as you get past the intro and buries the ability to turn off the audio with a tiny button in the bottom right corner
6) The flashiness of the website serves no functional purpose whatsoever
7) Animated graphics at the bottom? Is this 1998 when GIFs ruled the internet and every had to have them on their Angelfire website?
8) The links on the menu bring up little pop-ups with about a 50% transparent background, which doesn't exactly make it easy to read when you have all the unnecessary flashy crap in the background
9) Not one bit of text on that website can be copied and pasted into anything else
10) The contributions link doesn't even take you to an https website. Any organization with 1/10 a brain knows that you need to use https for anything dealing with online transactions or submission of private or personal information.
