We're so excited to announce a new e360 Theme, Elliot. This theme is named after Elisabeth Elliot, the famous missionary and writer. Her life and writings have been an inspiration to Christians around the world. We began this theme around the time of her death in 2015. This is our small way of paying tribute to her life and work. We hope your church websites using this e360 Theme can help your legacy reach just as far!
“Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God's story never ends with ashes.”
In addition to all the features you've come to expect from Ekklesia 360 (sermons, blogs, events, etc.), this e360 Theme has some new features we're pretty proud of. And we think you'll really like it, too.
One of our most popular themes is Wilberforce. We love it. And we love that you love it, too. And we wanted to make another e360 Theme that was just as great. Elliot follows in that trend of simplicity, clean lines, easy focus, and a clear sense of driving the story of your church.
With Elliot, we're focusing in on helping you celebrate your church and share the ways your congregation is growing and maturing.
The overall theme of this e360 Theme is story telling. Walk thru the site with us:
Below the menu but above anything else, we've included a small section of Welcome Text. This is your chance to set the stage, tell us what your church is all about.
Use this space to let the text take center and shine. Tell us your mission, a welcome to visitors, a seasonal greeting, or something that truly defines your church.
We've made both blogs and articles big and bold. This allows you to focus in on the title of your content and engage your readers. Both blogs and articles feature oversized sections to keep the clean simple lines and focus on the story you're telling to your readers. The image can be the feature image of the blog, a feature video, or a text highlight.
One of the other things our designers did for this e360 Theme is they kept the navigation menu "sticky." And they added a quick row of "top links" above the regular navigation. This is a great way to get just a little bit more content without over-crowding your navigation menu.
This is a great feature to keep your website's menu (literally) top of mind. Improve the browsing experience for your readers and help them take full advantage of everything your church has to offer.
Your church website visitors need to find the answers they're looking for. Help them know what to do next. We've built in some "next steps" buttons you can customize for your readers. Keep the answers front of mind and help them find the information they are looking for. This is a great place to feature service times or locations, growth or service opportunities, or any of the key things that are important to your congregation. Plus, it looks great!
You might think that was enough, but we're not through yet. Even though Elliot is visually very simple, it's still feature-packed. One difference here is that we are featuring one image for events, and not an image for each event. This could be helpful for smaller churches or those who don't have a lot of time or resources to deal with images. You can switch images for events, but you can also pick one image and leave it. We've got you covered.
With e360 Themes like Elliot, we take care of the details so you can take care of your community.
