Websites
Each site is designed for its audience. Some are high-design efforts, others designed to the content (lobbying, education, etc.). It is a combination of good content, appropriate design, and the right technology that makes a website work. There are hundreds of other sites that have come and gone over the years including ministry and political sites. But here's the key issue: All the sites work, stay up, are securely backed up daily, and can be easily found in searches. How about your site?
Please read the article Web Dev is Hard. There are dozens of 'build your own site' tools and free tools. But typically you won't get the results you expect. There's just a lot to know.
Follow the links to visit the sites.

Cushendall Church in Northern Ireland
FROM THE SITE: Life can be very confusing at times, full of questions that don’t seem to have many truthful answers. The harder we search for these answers the more difficult and confusing it can seem. All of us only really have two sources for finding answers to life’s most important questions: we can either look deeply within ourselves, or we can look to God. The Bible is the way that God has revealed himself to us and so it is there that we go to get answers to these difficult questions in life. This is the purpose of Cushendall Presbyterian Church.

Cecil County Decoys
FROM THE SITE: When I was twelve years old, my father took my brother and me on a weekend hunting trip to Elliott’s Island, Maryland. My dad was not a hunter, but many of his friends were. I will never forget the proprietor of what was later named the Mertle Gray Gunning Club, Sam Kenney, telling us that whatever we shot, we ate. Pete Malloy cooked us muskrat and wild duck for dinner that evening. The older gentlemen at Elliott’s were kind enough to take us duck hunting that season; it was then that I first placed my hands on a decoy, and I remember thinking there was something special about it. That feeling has never left me.
