• Something that looked nice and clean – a design that featured the content of the site well.
• Something easy to update – and few systems are as easy to update as WordPress.
• Something that was pre-designed to feature the elements that church web sites need the most – events, articles, and lots of informational pages.

We’re still perfecting the theme in the background. We want to create quite a few variations and skins for the Ministry Theme. Some churches need a dark background, others a grunge feel. Every church has its own personality and we hope to create a framework that will feature the personality of any church. We will also be creating a theme options page so that you can more easily change some of the elements of the front page and sidebars of the site. Here’s a feature list…

• Church and ministry-friendly layout.
• DHTML Drop down menu, automatically generated by page structure.
• Tabbed sidebars for a concise way to communicate information.
• Custom pages for home, links, and archives.
• Featured Post on the front page with built-in thumbnail support.
• Sub-featured posts on the front page as well.
• WordPress 2.8 ready, including handling of captions and images.
• Gravatar/avatar support is built into the comments.
• Base theme is relatively image-free for fast loading.

Keep watching for further developments and let us know what you’d like to see in the comments section below.
