Have you ever visited a Web page and had no idea who wrote it, whether the information was credible, or which organization had sponsored it? Most of you would answer, "Of course. All the time!" Now, the bigger question: Would a person visiting a Web page associated with your school easily know these things? If not, read on for more information on just what each Web page should include. Remember, search engines very often send people to an "inside" page and not to your home. 

Get Educated: Informing Your Users

At a minimum, each Web page should have a clear indication of its sponsoring institution. This can be as a logo or link. Ideally your logo is a link that will take the user to your home page. Better yet, each page should include copyright, last updated, and contact information. Education, in particular, requires credible information sources. Make sure that your own pages will be seen as worthy of consideration!
