Re: Offering Website Evaluations
Michelle has the right idea - if you are interested in improving your website, look at the criteria used in evaluating the sites for the website award (even if you are not planning to compete for the award). You can ask anyone to do it using this criteria.
One thing many sites forget to do is check spelling and grammar. And then check all links to see if any are broken. Two very simple things to start with. Ask an english teacher at your school for help with the proofreading. Another common mistake is to forget to say who you are and where you are located, right up front, on the homepage. A third thing is not defining your audience - is this a website for the public to learn more about you? Then don't have team content on the homepage (like, the bus will be picking us up on Wednesday morning at 6:00 a.m. in front of school)! Put it on a team sub-page!
Concentrate on the content of your site, then the layout and design aspects. That often takes two different skillsets; it's not easy for one person to be both the designer, the webmaster, and the content editor.
Hope these tips help!
