Fast. Google is spending billions of dollars to speed up the internet (ie. Chrome) and it's rumored that load times on independent websites will start to effect their Page Rank soon.

We moved important content out of the main sections and put it in the subsections. Make It Easy To Navigate:

This was a popular topic <a href="http://churchcreate.com/designing-for-donations-and-giving-online/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I'll just reiterate what I said there: <q>For too long church has meant, to many, a place that just wants my money. Why not prove it wrong? Why, dare I say it, NOT have an online giving option on our main sites? This doesn’t mean not utilizing online giving, it just means that we don’t have it hanging on our front door.</q> I think this also <em>really</em> stretches us beyond the "if you build they will come" mentality. Incidentally- our church doesn't do the give button. BUT- they do have a completely separate site (as in no links between the two at all) for giving online. Get rid of the “Give Online” button. This was a popular topic here.

My own church could improve their design, but it is a major upgrade from what it was just over a year ago. That being said, it's head and shoulders above what others have in the area and people say so. It’s big.

This is actually where I get to be on the outside looking in somewhat. I'm a "creative" but not a web designer, but as a "consumer" I've seen enough poorly designed websites to know what works.
