The analogy to airplane pilots is cool, though people's lives aren't endangered with bad design! I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for letting me use your soapbox! I hope what I said doesn't discourage anybody; especially if you are doing some of the no-no's that I mentioned. I just see a higher way for us to walk in. We should never settle for mediocrity or duplication because that's not in God's nature. Word up. Thanks for letting me use your soapbox!

I find that when a church tries to get around paying someone to build a website for them professionally (or do their graphic design) they always either a) end up paying someone else (more) later to fix it, or b) destroy their \"brand\" before they every get started.<br /><br />Your church's reputation in the community is viral and once it's out there it's can be quite hard to change it without spending more money and time (maybe years, depending on how \"deep\" the false-brand has been embedded in the community).<br /><br />I say it's better to do it right the first time!

Your church's reputation in the community is viral and once it's out there it's can be quite hard to change it without spending more money and time (maybe years, depending on how \”deep\” the false-brand has been embedded in the community).

I say it's better to do it right the first time!

Like most other people who have blogs or websites on the web, wither for personal use or business, I am present on the web becuase I have a message to commnicate. But, I have confused the message by method of communication. How embarassing ! It is not as wasy to direct a creative process as it is to direct an administrative task. Those who make design as easy and rote (cheasy we'll build your web-site for your sites) almost guarantee a lame product that looks bad. So, get a pro. I fly airplanes and it also is not an arena where novices can show up either and expect a quality product. Uh, so true it hurts.
