The
school site used as our example is

REMEMBER:
- Keep it simple - logical design
- Good
signposting/navigation - NOTHING is more annoying than NOT being
able to find what you are looking for
- Fast
download - keep your graphics size down
Keep
in mind WHO the site is for and WHAT it is for
A good
school site should be (you can probably think of more):
- A showcase - hey, look at what we do here!
- A
newsletter - hey, look what's coming up!
- An
information resource for students - timetables, homework help,
useful links etc
