Abstract

: Web sites are important for schools to support teachers, administrators, counselors, students, parents, and the community. Redesigning a school's web site can become a complex process and requires careful planning. Studies with web users (Yale Style Guide, Nielsen, Siegel) have produced work that informs school web site revisers of ways to make a site more usable and enjoyable. The US government and the W3C consortium have accessibility guidelines for web sites to assist site reviewers in adapting their site so users of all abilities have equitable access. A school must reconcile time and budget limitations with the need to serve a diverse audience. This paper offers guidelines and tools for streamlining the process of web site review and redesign. Recommendations address the web site redesign team and their roles, supporting the process, identifying the site's purposes, user surveys, content audits, task lists, storyboards, color palettes, style guide, usability and accessibility.
