Ok, after much deliberation , Diego and I have come to several conclusions concerning the church webpage:

Home page – all colors; Individual pages – each a different color
Top bar must always be the same color
Diego likes a tabbed menu – also likes a line of color above or below menu items… – maybe not tabs, but faded color bar…
Only one main photo at a time… a central image on the home page should draw you in (An image can make or break a site)…Play with color in images to make certain elements stand out
Diego doesn’t like Bradley script font…
When we have a great photo – use a black/white/grey border right around the main photo
Use a good transition of central image – maybe a vertical rollover in flash…
Micah – spread out primary colors – not so much contrast
Maybe use diagonal stripes on top bar… but they can’t be distracting…
Try to use more paper textures than wood
Keep it centered
