Nathan Smith of SonSpring Design has announced the Godbit Project. Directly from the horse’s mouth:

The purpose of this site is to help the Church catch up with the rest of the world in adherance to standards given by the World Wide Web Consortium, the governing body of best-practices on the Internet. The majority of Christian web design agencies are using outmoded methods of coding to create websites that the rest of the world would scoff at. Basically, they are stuck in the 1990’s.

This site is a great step in the right direction for bringing church websites up-to-date with the rest of the web and I look forward to where this project is heading.

When you start looking at church websites, you run into a lot of non-standard, IE-only, template-driven sites. The only way that one was discernable from the other was because the banner image was different. It was a problem I ran into when I took over the site for my church and began looking at CMS options out there.

Godbit is looking to change that by offering a site focused on standards-based practices and targeted toward church webmasters and developers.

I am also a contributing author and will be writing there periodically.
