Dear god... it's... it's like watching a DVD. Oh wow, every link has a voice intro. This is... this is quite impressive. I can only imagine what the Evangel Cathedral is like in person. Edit: THEY EXPLAIN EVERY SINGLE THING YOU CLICK ON! It's like web 1.0 version 9. Edit 2: Wow. Listen to the VO on their "Events" page. It sounds like this website is absolutely perfect for this church.

God hates epileptics and the deaf, at least that's what this church must think.

Really curious about how much time it took to program this.

I feel like last time I saw this it filled my screen up a lot larger. I think I had a much lower res monitor last I saw this.

Impressive, but when I'm looking for a fully immersive business homepage experience nothing beats http://industrialpainter.com/ http://industrialpainter.com/

The same guy has done a bunch of other church sites. It's a genre. http://www.sharperfx.com/portfolio.htm http://www.sharperfx.com/portfolio.htm (Perhaps not surprisingly, a bunch of the sites linked from here have since switched to more... sedate designs.)

  Looks like he only did the intro. The main site credits these guys - http://www.artisanblue.com/lsg/ http://www.artisanblue.com/lsg/

Made by http://www.artisanblue.com/.. http://www.artisanblue.com/... Otherwise known as "ab" so this is an 'abdesign' :)

Chrome ate my CPU on that site. I don't recall hearing my MBP fans run that loud, ever.

I thought I had produced the worst shit there ever was on the WWW and no...I had to come second place to this piece of shit.

As a designer, the thing you have to understand about this site before you can release yourself and find enlightenment, is that the client loves this site. They're thrilled. I'll bet they had a big "debut", put it up on the giant screen, and the congregation clapped enthusiastically. When you can internalize this fact, without it troubling your soul, you are ready, Grasshopper.

At first I was convinced that this just a joke website, but there is way to much content for this to be anything but real.

No matter how they try and sex it up religion is still "guilt with holidays."
