Websites are about first impressions. Within a few seconds, someone visiting your site can start to understand who you are and begin contemplating if your church is something they want to explore more. One of the biggest turn-offs for users is a site that looks like it hasn’t been touched for years. As you think about what first impressions you want your church to make online, here are some keys for modernizing your website.
Image driven. A good first step is to add more images to your website. A better second step is to make them bigger. I laid out my case for using more images and videos in previous posts (here and here), but the truth is we live in an image driven culture. Visitors to your site are not going to sift through endless text to learn about you. They will quickly glance at the images to start deciding if your church is for them.
Minimalistic design. Along with big images comes the need for less writing. Simple, minimal design leaves room for content to breathe. Open space creates breaks between different content areas and makes the site easier to navigate. Simple design isn’t easy. It takes a lot of restraint, editing and learning to say more with less.
A guided experience. One of the most confusing parts of a website can be figuring out where to go to find the information you’re seeking. Think about the key audiences that will be coming to your site. What info do they need? What problems are they trying to solve? Use that information to structure your homepage in a way that creates clear paths of where someone, like a first time visitor, should focus their attention and click to get more information. Every piece of content you create should have a clear answer to “what do I do next?” Figure out your call to action and create the navigation to make that happen.
Real representation. Visiting a church website should be like walking through the front door of the actual building. Think about the culture of your church and what it’s like to be a part of that. How can you show that on your website? Photos help, but think about colors, writing style, atmosphere, passions, programs, community, people and life-changing stories. The worst thing you can do it present yourself different online than in person. Often church websites don’t show the full greatness of who you are in person, and that’s a great problem.
Hey Guys - this is a really great list of things to consider - and the examples are lovely. It does get me thinking though - there is an overwhelming consistency to the overall look of almost all these sites. I’m not sure if that is a bad thing or not - but it’s quite noticeable. Would love to know your thoughts?
@Jordan: The similar look is a good point. I think part of that has to do with the fact they are all using modern trends like large, filtered images with text, flat design, bright colors and open space. The other part probably shows some of my own personal bias in design preference.
In the end, it’s all about being true to who you are and creating a site that best tells your story. If you do that well, it’s less of a problem if it looks similar to another church’s website.
Really quality resource for churches! I love everything your organization is publishing. How do you think the material design trend that google is going to be pushing for, is going to affect the church website design world? https://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html. Here at https://ministrywebsitedesigns.com/ we’ve worked with thousands of churches all over the country, supporting their design and branding or providing them with tools to do it themselves. We’d love to share this article with our clients if its alright with you?
Religion is a part of every people. but with the younger generation have become more techie, most of the religion or churches made their own websites and blogs as it attracts youth to become part of them and believe in the word of the of God.

<![CDATA[With her latest record, recording artist and worship leader Nikki Lerner is aiming to get some things off her chest.
Not in the I’m-angry-and-I-just-need-to-vent sense, but in the these-are-the-things-I-think-about-all-the-time-but-now-I’m-actually-going-to-say-them-out-loud sense … hence the album’s title, The Things We Never Say.
And my sense, after both listening to the record and talking to her directly (FULL DISCLOSURE: she and I have been friends for years through our connection with the Multicultural Worship Leaders Network) is that by being so frank and forthcoming, she wants to give others permission to do the same.
On the contrary, The Things We Never Say is intriguing both in what it says as well as how it says it. Crisp rhythms, dynamic soundscapes and angular chord progressions percolate in unexpected support of Lerner’s soaring harmonies and inflections that float over the top and leave an impression long after the music no longer lingers. Imagine if Sade ever collaborated with Snarky Puppy… that’s what this record is like. Credit go not only to Lerner herself, but to her impressive band (Stephen Waddy on keys, David Phillips on bass, and husband David Lerner on drums).
People who know Nikki from her work as a worship leader may be surprised to find that this album, though it is informed by a Christian worldview, is not explicitly Christian in focus. It is not worship music. On the contrary, its themes are timeless and accessible for anyone who has ever been alive long enough to develop significant relationships and had to navigate the baggage that tends to accompany them. The songs on The Things We Never Say are full of honest emotion, but also ambiguity, regret, wonder, and tentative questioning… they feel, forgive the buzzword, authentic. Lerner and her band do their best to craft aural experiences that echo the natural rhythms we all go through as we try to find our places in and amongst each other.
My favorites so far are her lead single, “Can We Start Over” and the album’s concluding ode, “Let Me Say Goodbye.” Both of them do a great job of living up to the theme, because they both echo sentiments rarely heard in R&B or pop music. The former lumbers along with a sense of languid, pensive funk, and lyrically invites the listener to take stock of the faults that might be unwittingly polluting their relationships, and the latter provides, in guitar ballad form, a merciful admission that sometimes the most familiar relationships still need to end for the best of all parties involved. If that sounds heavy, well… it is. But it’s also authentic and potent, and designed to appeal to listeners who want more depth of emotion and maturity in their music.
If there’s a weakness in this record, it’s that it doesn’t seem to have a lot of hooks. There are no hashtaggable catchphrases, no earworm-y phrases. But — speaking of things I never say — sometimes hooks are overrated. I mean, don’t get me wrong, nice hooks are great, but they don’t usually help rekindle a marriage, or help reconcile a friendship, or walk you through a break-up in a responsible way. Sometimes you just need to get real and say what needs to be said. With this record, Nikki Lerner and company are here to help you do just that.

What is an Integrated Priority List?
The acronym IPL – pronounced [ipp’l] – stands for “Integrated Priority List (IPL).” It applies to the list of a Combatant Commander's highest priority requirements, prioritized across Service and functional lines, defining shortfalls in key programs that, in the judgment of the Combatant Commander, adversely affect the capability of the combatant commander's forces to accomplish their assigned mission.
Is a Project Charter Important and Do I Even Need One?
Compared to a lot of other documents developed when planning a project, like a Project Management Plan, Cost Benefit Analysis, or Risk Management Plan, the Project Charter seems small. Just based on size, many Project Managers see it as an afterthought and think their time could be better spent on other tasks. But, this little document packs a powerful punch, and is actually the most important of all the documents needed for a project.
Enterprise Architecture: What is it and what’s the benefit?
Organizations these days often talk about Enterprise Architecture (EA) and how it plays a key role in their IT Organization. While this is true, it’s not completely accurate. This is where many organizations miss the boat on EA - forgetting that while there is an IT component to EA, it is not strictly an IT responsibility.

Alaska has six species of seal; the two most common being the Harbor and the Spotted seal. Each of these marine mammals can reach a weight of over 200 pounds by adulthood. Additionally, depending upon the season, Harbor seals are typically located in rivers, lakes, and near beaches; whereas the Spotted seal is mostly found around glacial and sea ice. Furthermore, it is important to note that the Harbor seal species is currently listed as an Alaskan “Species of Special Concern,” due to the drastic increase of pollution and hunters, making their need for rescue increasingly vital for their survival.
The two species of otter that are native to Alaska are the River and the Northern Sea otter; the Northern Sea species being drastically larger in size. These marine mammals range in color from brown to black, and their hind feet are webbed to aid with swimming. Unfortunately, due to the growing fur trade, fisherman interaction, disease, pollution, and the oil spill, the population of these Alaskan otters is decreasing rapidly. In fact, the Northern Sea otter is currently threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), making their need for rescue highly critical.
There are fourteen different species of whale that are native to Alaska, but the main one in need of rescue is the Beluga whale. These marine mammals are known for their stark white color and the bulbous, melon structures on their forehead, used for echolocation and communication. There are five different stocks of Beluga whales throughout Alaska; the Cook Inlet Belugas, Beaufort Sea Belugas, Bristol Bay Belugas, Eastern Bering Sea Belugas, and the Eastern Chukchi Sea Belugas. Additionally, the Cook Inlet population has been placed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), due to the on slot of hunters, pollution, fisheries, and climate change, making their rescue more necessary than ever.
What do I do if I find a baby seal, baby otter or baby whale?
If you come across a baby seal, otter, or whale, it is critical to not touch the animal. Additionally, it should be noted that Harbor seals often leave their pups ashore while looking for food. On the other hand, if you do not see the mother after an extended amount of time, or if the baby has an injury or obvious affliction, please contact Alaska Wildlife Rescue, immediately, for further assistance.
Is the baby on solid land or swimming?
Any obvious injuries or blood?
What do I do if I find an injured seal, otter or whale?
If you come across an injured seal, otter, or whale, it is important to note that you should not touch the animal. Do not feed, pour water on, or try to return it back to the water. Observe and take note of the animal’s’ injuries, while remaining distant, and contact Alaska Wildlife Rescue, immediately, for further assistance.

[snippet ...] Arguably a safer and more cost-effective method of debt recovery is to engage the services of a solicitor. Many of the complaints we receive about debt collecting are about the approach the debt collector has taken in their communications with the consumer – or how they have reacted to the consumer's repayment proposals. They can send doorstep collectors; it’s really important to realise that these are not bailiffs and have no more power than someone ringing you. Selling bad debts to debt purchasers can also be a helpful possibility for a creditor.

[snippet ...] arguably a safer and more cost-effective method of debt recovery is to engage the services of a solicitor. many of the complaints we receive about debt collecting are about the approach the debt collector has taken in their communications with the consumer – or how they have reacted to the consumer's repayment proposals. they can send doorstep collectors; it’s really important to realise that these are not bailiffs and have no more power than someone ringing you. selling bad debts to debt purchasers can also be a helpful possibility for a creditor.

The homemade bomb in a Nissan Pathfinder at Times Square did not explode  as a result,a trove of evidence was left behind for investigators to pore over,not only for physical evidence or forensic clues,but also as a reflection of an assailants methods,mind-set and motives.
The evidence has yielded much: the police and FBI,using the vehicles identification number,have already spoken with its registered owner and learned it was sold for cash two weeks ago.
When the bomb in the Pathfinder did not go off,authorities had not only the vehicle,but also the explosive elements. Some provided additional detail such as the two neon-colour alarm clocks one of which had the time it was set for and fertilizer packed in plastic bags bearing the stores logo.
Moreover,a car is an ideal receptacle for traces of who might have been inside. The authorities have been dusting the Pathfinder for fingerprints. Inside,they can search for traces of hair or skin cells. They may even find literature tucked somewhere.
Each clue will be its own mini-investigation,said Deputy Commissioner Paul J Browne. Browne said that some forensic evidence had been developed. Cavanaugh said,the device and the way it was designed speak of a grandiose purpose. It was apparently made with common tools.
I call this a Rube Goldberg contraption, Cavanaugh said of the placement of the items meant for the explosive.

In 2006, two successful independent insurance agents, Eric Lutz and Jeff Brown, gave two former captive agents, Cary Bennett and David Johnson, an opportunity to open their own independent insurance agency. Cary and David opened a location in Alma, Georgia and within six months opened a location in Blackshear, Georgia. They named the agency C. Bennett & Johnson Agency Incorporated. With the early success of the new agency, the partners came up with an idea to make their agencies more competitive by opening more agencies. The hope was that they would be able to combine volume from all of the agencies so that they could better compete with the large captive insurance carriers and the direct writers that spend millions of dollars on advertising. Since the new agencies would not have to worry about meeting minimum volume requirements, agents would be able to operate as true “independent agents,” focusing on the client by providing the best coverage and price without bias.
In 2007, the new partners put their plan into motion by creating Agency Partners, Inc. (API). Several preferred insurance carriers such as Donegal, Grange, QBE, and Southern Trust agreed to combine all of the volume written by the new agency group. Over the next two years API began to grow. Using the same successful floor plan of the C. Bennett & Johnson Agency, API opened four new independent agencies with several former captive agents. By the end of 2009, the volume with API had grown from approximately $3,000,000 to over $9,000,000. Combining all of the volume from the new agencies helped each individual insurance agency within API meet the minimum volume requirements for top commissions and contingencies.
In 2013, API changed their original agency contract to allow existing established agencies to participate, thus allowing all agencies to combine volume for contingency and/or bonus with the insurance carriers that participate. In doing so, all ownership remains with the individual insurance agencies, and all insurance contracts remain between the carrier and the agencies directly. To accommodate commercial carriers that do not wish to give each agency a contract, API has obtained one contract access that affords each agency the ability to write through one code.
As of November 2014, the Agency Partners Incorporated participants have over $30,000,000 in combined premiums with 12 agencies in 18 locations. With plans to grow across the state of Georgia with qualified agencies that wish to maximize payouts and minimize expenses, anyone interested in joining a well-respected, profitable and growing insurance aggregator business is encouraged to contact us by email at davidcbj@atc.cc or call our office at 912-632-0101.

1. Intent – What do you want your newsletter to do? Do you want it to educate, generate inquiries, build image, create positioning? List everything you want it to do.
2. Frequency – How often will you publish it? A minimum of quarterly gives you repeat exposure without the perception of overwhelming intrusion, though many centers find a monthly newsletter more effective for parents.
3. Format – What will your newsletter look like? Think about the number of pages, page size, graphic design, ink colors, photos or drawings, location of regular columns. Will it be a self-mailer, inserted in an envelope, handed out at the center, or an e-letter?
4. Title/Masthead – What will be the name of your newsletter? Make your masthead unique but consistent with the rest of your marketing materials. If you have regular columns, what will you call them that describes content and entices readers to linger there long enough to read it?
5. Content – What will be included in the content of your newsletter. Keep it simple and valuable to the recipient. Most of us already have too much to read. If you regularly give your recipients information of value in your newsletter (versus primarily advertising for your center), you will create what’s called “ready readership,” meaning a target of readers waiting for each new issue. That’s what you want, because it creates a positioning for you as the helpful, knowledgeable expert.

Apple encourages developers to open their source code to help facilitate the switch to Intel chips.
At Apples WWDC this week, the company said that applications written as Carbon applications, such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop, would be the most difficult to port to Intel-based Macs.
Apple also encouraged developers to open their source code to other developers and to use open source to help with the switch.
Apple announced on Monday that it would switch its entire line of Macs from PowerPC apps to Intel processors.
At a Worldwide Developers Conference session called Mac OS X State of the Union, Bertrand Serlet, Apples senior vice president of software engineering, told the audience of developers that they should enable their Mac software to be processor-independent, running on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs.
Serlet said that developers should work towards a single SKU (stock keeping unit) instead of separate versions for each processor.
"The goal is to have one box in the store," he said. Apple refers to these types of applications as "universal."
"How much work will it be?" he said. "It depends on the type of project."
Carbon applications contain old Mac OS 9 code carried over from the port to Mac OS X.
Cocoa applications, those written completely with Mac OS X technology, would be easier to port.
Most of Apples own software products are Cocoa applications, but many major third-party apps are Carbon.
The issue for creating universal Mac software is the order of bytes stored in memory and written to a file. Developers refer to this as the Endian problem, in which PowerPC and Intel processors store bytes in opposite order.
Apple said that developers can make Carbon applications universal, but custom resources will make solving the Endian problem more difficult than Cocoa applications.

Serlet indicated that developers might have to rewrite Carbon code by hand rather using the automated tools in Apples Xcode tools.
Serlet told developers that Apple will continue to add new Carbon tools to aid the porting process. He also suggested that the byte order problem could be eased through the use XML or HIArchive, a technique now available in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Cocoa applications will only require "minor tweaks" and a recompile to solve byte order issue and become universal, according to Apple. The use of the Objective C programming language in Cocoa software also helps.
Mac OS X Unix projects, including software for the X11 windowing environment, will be easier to make universal than Cocoa apps, according to Apple. This class of software will only need a recompile of the source code to run on Intel processors.
Serlet said that open software and open standards could help create universal Mac software. He also suggested that developers open up some of their proprietary software to share with other Mac developers.

Apple added that open software would help with the port to Intel processors. For instance, Tiger adds SQLite, an open database now used by Apple Mail and for RSS in Apples Safari Web browser.
"SQLite [helps to] solves the byte ordering problem," said Serlet.
Serlet also said "GCC [GNU Compiler Collection] defines processor independence" and that the Mach O binary format "glues PPC and Intel."
Also at the Mac OS X State of the Union session, Apple encouraged developers to make applications compatible with Tigers Spotlight search technology. Serlet said that adding metadata to documents would enable Spotlight to find the documents.
Developers can also enable their applications to search for information using Spotlight technology.
Spotlight provides "importers" that third-party software can access with plug-ins. This will give applications access to the index of information that Spotlight creates.

When I first heard about Positive Psychology and character strengths it was from the most unlikely of sources. A positive psychologist (I forget who) was quoted in a glossy magazine spread about body image as saying something (I forget what) about overcoming anxiety by choosing to find happiness instead.
At this point, I had spent a decade in therapy and on medication for anxiety and depression. During this time, I was alternately encouraged to try and look on the bright side, be more optimistic, lower my expectations or just generally pull my socks up because life wasn’t so bad, was it?! Trying to take this approach to dealing with my mental health had very little to do with what I was good at or enjoyed doing (my personal strengths) and over the years caused me considerably more anxiety rather than less.
I have dealt with generalised anxiety disorder and a lovely if complicated combination of additional symptoms pointing to major depressive disorder and a form of obsessive compulsive disorder (known as Pure O) for most of my life. Being a high achiever, a perfectionist and (learned) extrovert it took a combination of life circumstances, genetics, bad choices, whatever, to produce a series of breakdowns in my twenties and thirties which crippled my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities, stalled my career and my capacity to even identify let alone set goals based on my true interests or needs.
With fire in my belly, I turned to Dr Google and emerged feeling smug; I was vindicated. PP was to bear the brunt of my righteous anger. How dare normal people learn to be well, better than normal!
What surprised me was the response of the PP field to overall agree with this criticism and develop a more nuanced approach to a science of positive outcomes rather than just promoting positive experiences. That was my interpretation of it anyway, as I absorbed as much as I could about character strengths, the dialectic of emotions and the difference between seeking pleasure and meaning in life. I quickly saw that all of these topics were highly relevant to me personally as well as all the ‘normal’ people in my life.
PP had piqued my interest by its attempt to capture the full rainbow of human experience, subjective, objective, good and bad. To me at this point PP seemed to provide somewhat of a model for understanding both sides of my self – both my strengths and my anxiety. This was something (it has never been clearer) missing from the black, white and grey approach of traditional psychotherapy, disorder-labelling and endless self-analysis.
All at once PP seemed relevant and welcoming and I tentatively began to take the first steps towards finding out about my own strengths, understanding my own emotions – (positive and negative this time) and discovering more about how I can take steps to influence my own subjective wellbeing.
In hindsight, I was using what Martin Seligman calls my signature strengths and it was a revelation to finally give this side of my life recognition and attention. By using my strengths of Judgement, Love of Learning and (self) Honesty/Authenticity I arrived at what seemed a scary yet natural decision. Having done my research, asked my questions and followed my instinct I took the plunge and signed up for the MAPP at Bucks New University last year.
For someone dealing with daily mental health challenges this was a great leap in the dark as I also have a young family to care for. Perhaps unwittingly (and again hindsight is a fabulous thing isn’t it?) I was developing my lesser strength of Hope as I developed and put my faith in an understanding of both PP’s and my own potential to transform.
In short, learning more about PP and conducting interventions on myself has enabled me to accept and manage my anxiety and develop my strengths in a way that psychology (and certainly psychiatry) hasn’t to date. Applied PP is useful (in my humble opinion) to anyone who has the capacity for self-insight, including those of us who have a diagnosable mental illness.
Instinctively as I write this now, the next natural step seems to be for me to share this knowledge with others as I do now and put myself in the position to help people, perhaps those just like me.
It is impossible to summarise all I have learned from the first year of the MAPP course within this entry. But as I build my knowledge, experience and language for the best as well as the worst things in life I am becoming more confident that I could enable others to navigate a similar journey towards increased wellbeing regardless of their starting point.
