Mars Hill's Eye Popping Web site.

Really like Mars Hill's web site. Visually appealing , simple to navigate and a strong emphasis on video. It makes getting to know them much better. Churches haven't exactly been on the forefront of visual design , so it's nice to see some good examples.

It's clear church websites are getting better; the challenge now is getting more of the same inside the building. Most churches are designed for an oral culture - for example, having a pulpit is obviously meant for people to listen not see. Compare this with presentation master Steve Jobs.


Surely there are ways to including more visually oriented elements in our churches. We really need to begin to think about what people see when they come to church.
