What to Look for in a School Web Site

What makes for a good web site? What do you think, and what do the experts say? Consider some of these questions, and some of your own…

• Who are the intended users?
• What are the goals of the site? Does it do what it says?
• Are kids' pages usable by kids? (content, design, organization, navigation)?
• Does the site have personality?  Is it fresh? Is it durable?
• Does the site work for people with limited literacy or with disabilities?

A very helpful web design resource is Steve Krug’s book Don’t Make Me Think, in print or at www.sensible.com
