Hello everyone. I'm writing this very late at night so I'm not sure if anyone is here. Just wanted you to know that I just recently came across your page and have found it very useful. I have designed the website at my church http://www.delightfulecchurch.com (http://www.delightfulecchurch.com/) It's the first website I have created so it's not as professional looking as a lot of the others that are on here. But I'm working on improving it as time goes by. I've learned a little here and there about web developing over the past 4 years or so. Now I use the Dreamweaver program to help me create the site. Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Robin,

Welcome to the forum!

I browsed your website. You're off to a good start. Keep reading the material on my site (the Do's and Don'ts lists, the Top 10 website design tips, etc.). You'll find much to help you take your site to the next level.

It's good that you've invested in Dreamweaver. That's the program I use, as well as many other web designers.

I have to say your pastor has an incredible singing voice! (I listened to some of his online album.) I almost hear a little Elvis in his voice, I think.

Sincerely,

Hi David
I will keep coming back to this site and studying up on the websites you have on here and also all your tips and ideas for a better website. Thank you for all the information. It will be a great help to me.

It's funny you mentioned my pastor sounds a little like Elvis. He is a big fan of him and he often puts on an "Elvis" concert. He's not an impersonator or anything like that, but he does sing a lot of his music. Matter of fact all that music that I have online are songs that Elvis has recorded.

Thanks again and may this site be a great blessing and help to others as well.

Welcome to GCW!! :)

Quick question that probably belongs elsewhere. Delightful E. C. Church? The building picture shows "Delightful Evangelical Church". Am I missing the extra C?

Hi Wolfgang..

The church building says Delightful Evangelical Church but the actual demonination is Evangelical Congregational Church. I guess it was alot to put the Congregational word in there or something. Even thought the demonination has been around for about 130 years, it still pretty small one. We only have about 125 churches and about 85% of those are either in Pennsylvania or Ohio. They should have the Congregational word in there though. It would save a lot of confusion.
Thanks for your interest and thanks for welcoming me here.

Hi Phillip..

Thanks. It is a great site to see what other churches are doing. I especially like the Seen and noted section of the page. I need to work on the do's and don'ts on my page. A lot of the do's I don't have and alot of the don'ts I do have. I think David should be applauded for all the hard work he had done on here. It's an awesome task to make a page like this one and I'm sure everyone who has ever made a page knows that. So..thanks to David for all the hard work he has done and will continue to do.

Robin--

That clarifies a lot! Thanks! If I had surfed your site a bit more, I might have found that.
