 “The Announcements link gave me an error message stating that the page could not be found, so I was unable to review the current announcements and the Directory link was password protected so I don’t understand why they would offer a directory which required a password. There was not information on how to receive a password to view the directory.” |

faithHighway Tips for improvement…
…from a design expert:
“This website has almost no images on it at all. Getting information out is important, but this website would be much more effective with images to illustrate who this church is.”
…from a programming expert:
“They currently have a broken link that should be fixed.”
…from a web outreach expert:
“The site should include some sort of graphic design to give potential visitors a feeling of what they might experience should they come to a Sunday service.”
