Make Your Church Website Pop With The Right Colors
Subliminally, the color scheme of your website can often leave as much of an impression on a visitor as the layout can. A harsh or lackluster color scheme can often leave visitors wanting more, or simply being turned away.
When I went to go look for a new color scheme to use for the redesign of If Jesus Had A Website, I wanted something similar (green based), but new and refreshing. At first, I wasn't sure where to look, but I then came across the ColourLovers site, and in particular, an article on color palettes inspired by famous artwork.
Immediately, it struck me as a great idea. Why not use great art as an inspiration point for web design? Even if your church already has a color scheme for it's logo or letterhead, it can be a great starting point for the color scheme of your website.
But if you're looking for somewhere to start, try browsing sites like ColourLovers and find what inspires you!
