Website front page review...Too much info?

Hello,

Please give me your thoughts on my website. I like the general look, but it feels like a little too much is on the page. What do you think? Do I present too much info on the front page? Got any other thoughts?

I like your 3 main colours.

Yes it's overcrowded and as i scroll down there is picture after picture of you. just a tad overkill. imo.
I'm assuming your using wordpress? I'm sure there is a plugin that can limit the amount of posts to be shown.
I'm sure there is a quote somewhere about users shouldn't have to scroll down a page no more than 3 times.

There are some text alignment issues.

Less is more. I could make some major structural suggestions..
I'll wait and see what others say before i say anything else.

Hope i didn't sound harsh?

 

lol...harsh is what I need...this is actually in drupal...I hear you on the pictures thing...I just dropped a ton of pictures becuase of legal issues and am trying to build it back up...

I can limit the number of posts on the front page...I was actually trying to figure out a way to not show the posts but perhaps some sort of categories of posts..at any rate, I would actually like to hear your structural suggestions...

thanks...

 

ok. Although this is from my viewpoint and I am pretty fussy in what i do like when i see sites.

Like i said before simpler the better. Now I'm not familar with the maintstream religious/preaching genre of website design.(like what other sites are doing).

whats the most important peices of information that you need to tell your readers?

It's late here and i should be in bed so i'm not thinking clearly enough.
I would get rid of where the boxes containing "web pastor" and "contributor"./resources/ could go into a menu(perhaps under the menu )
You've repeated "home" link twice.
get rid of home and contact on that second line,place blog link into the top line into blue area. Remove affiliates and place at bottom of your blog. Sermon outlines could also be removed from top menu. Becuase you already got a sermon section on right side. Where sermon outlines was you could place a link for "Staff"(or relevant 1 word description that sums up pastor and contributor)

Is there a way to maybe remove the bookmark box and change it to a couple of links? then place it where "home" "contact" "blog" on that second row.

ideally i would either widen the white area or remove the left boxes. It just seems so cramped. could be the colours.

*shrugs* hope i haven't repeated myself or gone in circles!

 

thanks...arcanus...I have implemented some of your suggestions...will play around with some of the others later...

 

Looks Nice!
