I need your opinion/help!

We are currently in the process of designing a website for the new church plant from Jubilee into Port Elizabeth. The name of the church is New Nation. Below are two possible options for the front page (often called the splash page) of the website.

This is where I need your help. Could you let me know which of the two designs you feel is better. By better, I mean more attractive to new comers to the "digital front door" of the church. If you came accross these two "doors", which one would you feel more compelled to knock (actually, click) on?


Let me know and add some reasons if you have time. (Do this by posting a comment at the bottom of this post)

Thanks!
Jon

  1. Splash pages are considered bad usability on websites. Also, your designs look flashy, I'm hoping you're not using flash, because with our limited bandwidth in South Africa, not many people have flash installed, and those that do don't want to download a 1.5 meg flash file to their computers to see your site. If they have to wait for more than 10 seconds, you've lost them. Also remember that there are still more people on dial-up in South Africa than any other Internet connection.

    Just some food for thought from a "veteran" web developer.
