In a very real sense, our collection of web pages becomes another window to the world. The activities of our district can be seen and evaluated all over the world. Because of this potential and the complexities of computers, it is important that some Web site standards be developed. It should be made clear that these standards should not exist to discourage creativity. They should exist simply to ease the burden of the content developers and leave our Internet visitors with the best possible opinion of our District.
Organizations seem to categorize pages as either official or unofficial.
Official pages would include the main site structure and district supplied information. Examples would include forms, calendars, schedules, news updates, and staff created curriculum items. Unofficial pages would include such things as faculty and student information pages. Individuals are encouraged to create information that can be shared with others. It seems logical that official pages and default web pages should be expected to fully follow all guidelines.
