I find the colors to be a little too aggressive. I think something with more white would be more appropriate. Look at with an angle of "aah, that's refreshing", not fire and brimstone. Also, maybe you should consider centering the entire thing in a div or table.

Issues:
• Horizontal scroll at 800 X 600
• Text VERY hard on the eyes..painful actually and nearly impossible to read
• Text too huge
• Fist page much too long (most likely due to huge font size)
• Background images have seamline......are not seamless
• Inconsistancy...different backgrounds on every page
• Tons and tons of code errors
• Default Times font is displaying on most page because not font face has been specified. (This is best done with CSS...font tags are no more)

The good:
• Consistant navigation
• The background images are nice, you just need to utilize them better i.e. create seamless tiles or use css to keep prevent from tiling.

Advice:
I see by looking at the code that you are using some sort of WYSIWYG...it's creating very messy, and invalid code with many errors. Work on learning how to code and how to write and use CSS.

Study some well designed sites to see and learn layout, using images effectively etc.

As you learn more and more about code and design, keep practicing, and don't give up......you will get better.

A few nitpics.

I had to scroll page 800 X 600, despite popular belief this still compromises 52% of your viewers. I don't mind scrolling but some do with a capital DO. Changing your table dimensions from 1003 to 100%; would go a long way toward curing the problem

Background color and text color don't jive, especially in some spots where they nearly blend.

Page does not W3C validate, which means it has browser compatibility problems. You need to run it through to see your problems.

Not trying to be pickey or mean, just trying to help.

The site has a good idea but the background colors make fonts really tough to read here. Either use black font on the yellow areas and vice versa or find a different background. You may want to consider a different background because loading that large image is slowing down your load time a little bit. Also, you'll want to keep the site background consistent throughout out the site so as not to confuse users. You'll want to captilize letters in the page titles too, just as you did on the buttons. On a positive note, your forum scheme matches your site colors very well. I know there seem to be a lot of suggestions here, but keeping working and this site will be great!

I like your site but again. I do not agree with your font colour, size and its background... If you reduce the font size a bit, it will give it a more clean professional look.
Thanks

Can you limit your non-html file numbers or size on each page? If I see the browser is still loading when I can see the whole page, I would suspect the website could send spyware to my desktop. I usually close the browser to stop any downloading.

Interesting site concept.

Firstly, I would say the text is very hard to read (interpret: nigh on impossible)! Putting a white background behind the text will aid this (after all, the cheesy background picture isn't really needed, it doesn't really add to the content.)

Secondly, your text. You might find it much better if you got rid of 'Christianese' in the opening paragraph; it is just going to put people off.

Quote: Many Christians today struggle with be-setting sins and remain under the control of the world and all its vices and entrapments.

Is this really necessary to put it in these terms. Would it not be better to put it into layman's terms so that your site is actually useful to a wider group. Sorry if this sounds harsh, I'm just trying to help your ministry.

Aside from the language, the content is good, and the spelling and grammar also. If you are looking for a more Christian response, try christian-web-masters.com/forum and post a forum there, and you may find it useful.

I wish you all the best with your minsitry.

David

P.S. If you wish for more help, feel free to PM me, though I will be away for a week as from tommorrow. I would love to help after that, though. All the best.

well

I use opera and your page doesnt fit vertically, tried in firefox, same problem and also in ie6... good theme and color combinations too. All I could suggest other than the fitting issue is to make your link buttons on the left colored gold or black. The flesh like color is not working out...

Newbie also.

I like your site, however, I was always told music files, makes the site move really slow. I hope that can help you some.

Greetings,

You site is pretty good.
1. I think the title on the index page is a little big.
2. The colors for the Message board are sort of not that great. But I am sure I can live with it.
