Feedback on church website
It's a very simple website admittedly, still getting there in designing stuff. As I'm not getting paid for this job, I'm not looking to do anything over the top, but if there are opportunities to add some flare to the website without spending a significant amount of dev time, I'm super open to it!
Any feedback would be much appreciated, thank you!

Aside, big ask: if anyone would like to skim through my repo to point out better ways to code that would also be appreciated. https://github.com/v11ncent/Christ-Church-Sedalia

I know this doesn't provide any helpful feedback but I do want to say it looks great! For not getting paid, you've been very generous with the product you're providing 😂.
Only thing I noticed is the image is not staying within the border. Not sure if this is on purpose but I think it'd look better if it matched the other images 😂
Hey thanks man, that means a lot! 🙂 And the borders were intentional, I can try to mess around with that design as it is a bit out of place
Yea absolutely! And don't get me wrong, it really is a fantastic design, you should be proud. It was just the one tiny thing I noticed that felt out of place only because it was the one place it was used and no where else on the site. Doing something unique there is not a bad idea, I just try not to mess with the border radius used throughout the rest of the site
For sure man thank you 🙂
This might not be constructive feedback, but The heading background psuedo-elements you make are really subtle yet eye catching. They take the simple heading to a unique look and feel. I think you can introduce these elements in other routes like get in touch, donate etc.
Good point, those pages need some flare. Thank you!
Is that called a flare huh
Nah just what I call it haha
Well that makes sense. I will adopt that terminology 🫡
Thanks Hope! This feedback is really great 🙂
I never thought about the arrow being misleading like that.
I'll make those changes 🙂 👍
Haha yea, I really have no idea what I'm doing in the business department and need all the help I can get! I'll make a thread there 🙂
Definitely!
Looks great! I really like the font in the headings. The only inconsistency I noticed was the Donate and Events hero sections are left justified while all others are centred. Cool use of backgrounds!
Thank you! I did that on purpose cause I thought it looked a bit weird with them being left justified with the content that they have
Ah, I figured that would be intentional!
I was looking through your code. Plausible analytics.. interesting. I gotta check that out.
I really want to start using Astro as well. I’m assuming you can import client side scripts rather than having it all in a
script tag?It's really good and $9/month for the starter plan
So I'm not 100% on how Astro handles client scripts. I believe when you write JS in a
script tag inside a .astro component, then it loads it inline.
If you import it though, it should load a script rather than inline-ing itYeah that is a good deal.
It's based off page views too. Only up to 10,000 monthly page views with the lowest-tier plan but that is way more than I currently get so far so I don't need to worry about that haha
It actually will still process and bundle everything in the script tag unless you put a
is:inline or any other property other than src 🙂
From Astro:
Astro’s default bundling behavior will be disabled in some situations. In particular, adding type="module" or any attribute other than src to a <script> tag will cause Astro to treat the tag as if it had an is:inline directive. The same will be true when the script is written in a JSX expression.
great work, you have come a long way in your design skills! If I would make any changes, I would experiment with the button hover transition. At .3s it feels almost laggy, but I really like it changed to .15s, feels much more snappy
and in the hero, i might also try adding a max-width on the pargraph text (it looks good at 55ch and 70ch on a desktop, so somewhere in that range), while also putting more space below it to separate the buttons a bit. and maybe a bit more space between the buttons so they aren't right on top of each other
and also looking at it, maybe remove 'come' from the title, and just say 'Worship Jesus With Us'
Thanks ghostmonkey! Great suggestions. I'll add them today 🙂👍
Made your changes. Also added Astro's ViewTransitions. I'm loving it
it's good work, you should be proud of it
definitely make sure it's in your portfolio
Thank you, definitely will add it. Waiting for the client to wrap it up and going to write a blog/case study on it
