Lord of Life Lutheran Church

We are a Lutheran church and a PreK-8th grade school in the Houston, Texas area.

This is the website I would like ours to be like. I like the weathered and calm look and the ease of navigation. I would like the textured look to be incorporated in our site.

I like the weathered look and the nice divisions for each section.

The site is a little too busy but I like all the information and the large banner.

Our sites are going to be hosted on Google Sites and this will be the basic layout for both sites:

https://sites.google.com/site/lordo…etemplate/

For both sites we basically just need something to replace the template that is shown in the link. The tabs are built in with only three options (tabs, boxes, and links) so they do not need to be designed, just worked with.

We will need two different pages. The first page is for our church. Attached is our logo and also some of our church pictures. The logo needs to incorporated but does not have to be pasted in, as long as a cross and rays are incorporated that is good. This page will be used as a template for all of our church pages. Our colors are blue, white, and gold so most likely the page should be primarily white. Our goal is to be welcoming to people that are looking for a church and also be a place for current members to look up events.

The second page is for our school. This will need to look just like our church page but in different color, so if you use white for the church then use blue or vice-versa. Our school mascot is an eagle so if you are able to incorporate an eagle into the design that will be great. Our goal is to welcome people interested in putting their child in our school, and also a place for current parents to look up events and school news.

Our main demographic is families, mostly families with younger children.
