We're so excited to announce a new e360 Theme, Spurgeon.
This theme is named after Charles Spurgeon, the famous 19th century Baptist preacher. It is estimated that in his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people -- that's ten million. We hope church websites using this e360 Theme can help your reach go just as far!
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.
Grow Your Ministry Impact with These Cool New Features
Animations
The Ekklesia 360 design and development teams were really trying to make this new e360 Theme feel "interactive." Of course, all websites are interactive, but we want your viewers to really feel like they are a part of something, not just clicking and scrolling around. While using Spurgeon, images and content blocks fly in from the sides. Go ahead and give it a try - scroll down the sample home page. See how it draws the viewer in and makes you want to see what's next.
"Sticky" Navigation Menu
This is a great feature to keep your website's menu (literally) top of mind. Now we've got an e360 Theme where this comes standard. No longer is this a custom upgrade! Improve the browsing experience for your readers and help them take full advantage of everything your church has to offer.
4-Image Grid
The second section of the home page is a small image grid. The four images next to each other create an interesting graphic look. Many sites have an image grid, but this one is shorter and it allows you to really focus your content. This is a great place to put "next steps" information for your readers. Plus, we think it looks great.
Image-to-Content Transitions
On certain subpages, the images transition to the content in new and interesting ways. Our team has done it again and come up with some really awesome new ways to share your church's images and text. They've developed two ways this feature can work. There's either a horizontal slide out or a vertical scroll. This again draws the reader into the site in a very engaging way.
Footer
Spurgeon puts all the portions of your website to good use. This has one of our most robust footers ever. It's got some styling, contact information, a small Link List for a menu, a search box, a logo, an area for welcome text, and there's even room for social icons. Like a sticky menu, a robust (but not crazy) footer keeps your readers well-oriented and aware of their options for more information.
