1. Simplicity, I have seen too many websites go down in flames because they were too busy and hard to navigate. I also include eliminating broken links in this category.
2. Contact information-students and parents need to know how to contact you by multiple methods.
3. Online catalog access, Missoula schools have this available so that it may be accesed on site or remotely.
4. Policies, I like this because it is publicly posted and available for all to view before there are any issues. Then, should an issue arise, it is right there all to review and follow as long as you follow the policies faithfully.
5. Age appropriate information-elementary schools would not need a link to OWL at Purdue for help in creating citations. Websites need to match their information to their intended audience, otherwise the sites will never get used.
