One of the fun things about being a content creator is the opportunity to create new words.
Not all words that are birthed are created equal in spendor, usage, or even sanity, but that’s not the point.
So, I hereby declare a new word: Chugly. Read on for the definition and what to do about it.
Definition of ‘Chugly’:
Pronunciation: ch’ə-glē
Function: adjective
Form(s): ch·ug·li·er; ch·ug·li·est
Etymology: ChurchCrunch.com, combination of ‘Church’ and ‘Ugly’: Chugly.
Date: 21st Century
1: Offensively bad ministry or church website.
2: Unpleasant looking for the eyes, oftentimes nauseating or producing the gag-reflex.
3: Likely to cause inconvenience or discomfort to site visitors.
4: An extremely poor choice of design, colors, schematic, layout, or use of imagery on a church website.
5: A ministry website that must, without hesitation, be redesigned.
Tony Morgan and CollisionMedia Want to Help
Apparently Tony Morgan and CollisionMedia want to help you not have a chugly website and have created BattleUglySites.com to help.
If you’d like to get some help, head over there and do yourself a favor… and get some help with that chugly website of yours.
Thanks.
Our church website is not "chugly" but it is woefully in need of regular updating. On of my MAJOR pet peeves! I've even offered to do it myself…to no avail. *sigh*
Awww – I wanted to see samples!
I think we should be able to submit sites for someone to determine if they are chugly. Although my blog is not specifically a church site, I would still be curious what people think about the design. I am working on an updated theme currently.
Some sites need rework not because they are offensive but uninspiring. Like mine!
My church website is not chugly . . . it is just misunderstood!
