Excellent! Well Said! Pip, Pip and all that rot! I too receive frequent requests for "the website". There is a fine line when you try to have goals and a mission versus "what the customer wants" so to speak. IMHO this is one of the BEST reasons to have goals and a plan for a church website, to avoid the rabbit trails of quick fixes. “how to take criticism of all kinds gracefully, and how to artfully turn people down who have ‘concerns’ about our site.”

No disrespect intended - the comments and suggestions are almost always given with the best intentions. My site would look just like PHBCs if I gave in to half of the demands I received. I have learned two things since I started this site - how to take criticism of all kinds gracefully, and how to artfully turn people down who have 'concerns' about our site. Oh yeah - sometimes they are right...I take those ideas too.
