I hope you all are finding success in your search for a professional, creative designer. Ben did a series of blog posts called "A Pastor's Guide to the Web", and had me close out the series with a post re: the relationship between Designer and Pastor. I think it would prove enlightening for you as you work through this issue. <a href="http://www.bencotten.net/2009/05/01/a-pastors-guide-to-the-web-part-5/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.bencotten.net/2009/05/01/a-pastors-gui...</a> Hey guys, Ben told me he had mentioned me here.

Hire someone who will take who you are as a church and where you are going and try to translate that into a digital medium. Your logo, bus. cards, signage, website, etc should (IMO) be a cohesive whole that shows in a visual language who you are. I think it's a mistake to sink money into creating a unique website design before you get a real logo, for example. Find a designer that can design like an artist, but think like a marketer. Not to be a shill (and I really hope I'm not coming across that way, it's not my intent), but you should contact our guy. He does this all the time. <a href="http://www.trendsettingonline.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.trendsettingonline.com</a> my advice is to start with your church vision and work your way out from there to a logo and overall graphic identity.

We need a website (or three) designed and I as resident tech head have been tasked as the project lead on this. I know we have creatives in our Church but we don't have the right skills to do what we need so my big fear is - what if I muss up by picking the wrong person / company - so I need to think (and pray) carefully about how I do this. So any guidance would be welcome :) We're just entering this dilemma. We need a website (or three) designed and I as resident tech head have been tasked as the project lead on this.
