Web design for Churches has come a long way in recent years.

Media Companies are now providing Churches with hot usable layouts with clear navigation for things like pod casting message blog and church events calender.

I love some of the branding in these sites especially City of Grace and Church Plant Media. Great work guys!

City of Grace Church Site that Rocks!

City of Grace Church Site

Wow… that’s all I can say about this one. It’s scale is inline with elements. The logo is bold and readable. You can see what the church looks like and what the pastor looks like. Also the church location is easy to find. I can also see current events on the home page.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if I get asked to create a church site I’m using this as my Holy Grail of feature check offs.

Celebration Community Church Site that Rocks!

I like the gray/blue rough texture background. The logo is alright and there is a nice use of grid layout with this site.
One part I’m not too crazy about is the lower half. It looks like they sawed two different websites together. One high tech and a rustic classic and turned them into one. Also I loath the hideous rss button.

Harbor Presbyterian Church Site that Rocks!

I like the smooth flow all the gradients give this one. It’s just that rss button…

Gorgeous all over. I could talk all day about how nice this is. I perfect UI!

Origins Church Site That Rocks

This site uses great grunge effects in the web 2.0 style. The navigation is clear and easy to understand.

This site looks like it’s awesome except half the site looks cut off in FF? Hopefully they fix this site so it can be of more use to them.
