It is also striking enough to hold the attention of the casual observer. Our audience will most definitely be looking for entertainment. It has been my impression that people surf the web when they have nothing to do at the moment, which means anything that will entertain them will hold their attention. In addition to the comic value, we basically are providing information about the TUBA section and its members. All one must do in future years is to scan pictures of the new members and type in their nicknames.
Any previous year can be used as a template, so it's pretty simple.
I even have a file that I will pass n to the next TUBA web guy, which has images of the future years on it so they won't have to worry about matching the font and size, keeping the onmouseovers looking nice. On the front page, there are four links which go to the four sections of the site. The site's structure is simple, as the front-page only goes to 4 places, but some of those places, like the Meet the TUBAs section can become rather complex. Also, all a person has to do to find out where they are, is to look at the left border at the text in the red band going down the side. If they ever want to get to the front-page, there is a link at the bottom of every page in the site.
