Updating the Website for St. Mark's Lutheran Church

After debuting the new logo for our church, it was time to begin an overhaul of the website. My fellow committee member (and friend) Ann and I have been working hard on this task. We are not done, but we've made enough progress that I wanted to share it here. 

As you can see below, the new website uses our brand colors and features our logo prominently. We replaced the 5+ fonts on the previous site with a single, easy-to-read san-serif (Verdana) on the new version. We moved the menu down, and used larger text and yellow buttons to make it easier to read. The buttons are rounded to give it a more warm and welcoming feel. 

I'm particularly happy with our new header. We tried a lot of different ways to incorporate the three logos (our own, the ELCA logo, and the Reconciling in Christ logo) and no matter what we did, it looked really crowded. The logos competed with each other until we shrunk down the ELCA logo and put it the address line, then added a line below that stating that we are an ELCA church. 

We've made updates to the pages as well, but most are not complete. We plan to add a bunch of photos, then fix the formatting and make some other tweaks. Stay tuned!
