Welcome to the Web Guide

This website is intended to help JSD elementary web managers with their school websites. We hope you find it useful and would love to hear any feedback you have as well as suggestions.

How to use the Guide

The site itself demonstrates many examples of the content that should be on an elementary website along with layout ideas. Take a look around and use the ideas you like on your own site. There is also a WebGuide tab that contains instructions and helpful tips on managing your site. If possible, before you meet for your initial training, go through this site and especially the How-To guides. That will help you know what questions you have. You will certainly have more questions once you get started, and this is intended to be a reference tool to help. If you need assistance, please ask for help.

Homepage Tips

Your homepage is the first impression for your users. Pay special attention to make it visually appealing, informative, and easy to understand.
Make sure to keep any information on the homepage concise. If a lot of text is needed, create a link to another page for that information. Your homepage should not be very long, it is the jumping-off point, not the information center.
