Godbit

The Godbit Project is an interesting site for those thinking about how churches can get online, highlighting the need for sites to be ‘accessible’ and that sort of thing. The ‘purpose‘ page explains it a bit better:

The purpose of this site is to help the Church catch up with the rest of the world in adherence to standards given by the World Wide Web Consortium, the governing body of best-practices on the Internet. The majority of Christian web design agencies are using outmoded methods of coding to create websites that the rest of the world would scoff at. Basically, they are stuck in the 1990’s.

This is so common in fact, that the term “Christian” when associated with the Internet has become synonymous with “sub-par.” Without pointing fingers specifically, some of these practices include overuse of JavaScript, malformed (X)HTML, all-Flash websites, and over-dependence on tables for layout.

Lots of interesting articles, though some are a bit technological.

I also found this page, all about how they designed the Godbit logo. Interesting.

    May I add my vote for Godbit.com as an excellent resource for anyone with an interest in web design. Bookmark it, as it will be one you visit regularly.

    Hey, thanks for the link and kind words about Godbit! I realize that sometimes we can be too geeky in our code obsession, which is why I appreciate sites like Cartoon Church, which help us to laugh at ourselves a little bit. Likewise, keep up the great work here!
