Review:

Another super slick site. This one looks and feels like many other neubix sites; narrow, smooth, blurry, subtle yet bright colors. The code is clean and the flash works great. I always thought the atlantic coast was wide, but this site is narrow. Really narrow. In some sections it gets hard to read and I find myself scrolling away from the main focus. The text is very light grey, and I hope Ryan and his team tested this on laptops, so the text doesn't disappear. I like the photographic treatments. Another nice site from Neubix, congrats.

There's definitely a lot to like about this; the only part of it that I really don't like is the brown background-color for links -- particularly on the calendar, which looks blocky and unappealing in contrast to the smooth, pastel feel of the rest of the website.

The Flash animation begins again every time you return to the home page as well, which I don't like, but then that's a factor on so many websites that use Flash...

I like the site.

The only thing i think is dispensable is the Flash Interface.

XHTML + CSS can do the same effect.

This is the best church website I've ever seen. By far. Great use of Flash.

It's great to see churches are starting to hop on the bandwagon. Kudos to neubix. This is a really pretty site. But I agree with the brown link thing, and the callendar page looks kind of awkward. And the Forum's just ugly, but the flash looks great, and the colors work really well. Nice work.

i like this a lot - tho it still looks bloggy i like the sweeping crves of the footer - left column looks oversized for some reason and i wish they'd cater more for accessibility by allowing the text to be scaled

I actually think it's fresh with the narrower approach.

It's a nice site but! Why o why owhy do sites have navigation links that are very poor to read. There is no contrast on the main links which means it's not accessible and impossible to read for someone who is colourblind. As designers they should be telling a church website of all websites that it needs to be readable. Sorry but it spoils it. Design over function.Flash is cheating as far as css imo and a lazy way out

It's a 'super slick Neubix' site so of course it doesn't need to meet standards.Any neubix site will get linked here by the looks of it.

I think that looks too much of a blog. I am in agrement with the non standards issue. Plus ca change plus ce la memchose.

It's a blogulike with Flash buttons. It's ok but not web standards and it's hard to read. What's with the brown text links on the brown backround? I didn't know they were links. Enough said.

Any Neubix site will be featured, true.

And any Neubix site will be either an evangelical christian site or something MTV-emo related.

I must say that this site does accurately portray the nutty evangelicals...a distant star in the sky...is it talking to me?

Well said Deborah. I can't think of a more discerning audience than 13 year olds and evangelicals...

Stylistically it's great, but shouldn't the header images be compressed slightly on content pages? I find it takes up unnecessary screen space and doesn't warrant a full size inclusion.

It looks awfully similar to something else Ive seen before. Were.n't neubix 'caught out' on Styleboost for 'assimilating' other websites styles and incorporating as their own? Anyways I think it's very cloned. There's a few bugs and the background doesn't scroll. It doesn't validate either. My 2c.

It's the almost same exact color scheme as neubix's site....

Otherwise I like it a lot. Do you think it's the same Flash header every page, or does neubix have a different .swf file for the header every page?
