BOTH/AND

Give, Donate, or Stewardship is not presented as a top-level invitation alongside worship, visiting, learning, and connecting.

The opening presents one stable message, identifies the parish, and does not hide essential information in an auto-rotating slider.

The opening includes at least one clear action suited to a visitor.

The site speaks hospitably to people new to the parish or Orthodox Christianity.

Assess the whole homepage, not only its hero. Prominent photos should show real parishioners, clergy, ministry, fellowship, worship, or service in ways that help a prospective visitor imagine belonging. A building, icon, or empty sanctuary alone does not meet this point.

A Plan a Visit, What to Expect, or equivalent path is visible on the homepage.

First-visit information has a clear primary-navigation label.

Visitor material addresses applicable questions about arrival, children, attire, worship expectations, Communion, and fellowship.

A plainly labeled place to learn about Orthodox Christianity is present.

The homepage visibly invites people exploring Orthodox Christianity toward introductory material.
