A site does not need to meet every one of these criteria to be a great site, but the more of them it does meet, the more likely it is to be a worthwhile place for our students to spend time. The creator should give a source for information in the site where necessary. The web site author or manager should provide a way for users to make comments or ask questions. The web site author or manager should be responsive to any questions regarding copyright, trademark, or ownership of all material on the site. Sites that knowingly violate copyright statutes or other laws should not be linked, listed, or recommended.
Every site has a reason for being there.
A site's purpose should be clear and its content should reflect its purpose, be it to entertain, persuade, educate, or sell. Advertising should not overshadow the content. A good site should enrich the user's experience and expand the imagination. A great site has personality and strength of character. The information on the site should be easy to find and easy to use.
