Saint Joseph Cathedral's Web Site Design Overview

 

Guiding Principles:

  1. The web site is a source of information that has some items that change on a frequent basis.  This dynamic content includes items such as displaying minister schedules, calendars, etc.

  2. Keep things simple.  Quick loading pages is a must, especially the home page.

  3. Make the web site more lively and not dull.  Make it fun for visitors and parishioners to visit.

  4. Make the web site easy to navigate.

  5. Make the web site free of clutter, especially the home page.

  6. The web site should be simple enough so that someone with an advanced beginner to intermediate web site's knowledge can make changes.

  7. The web site will not use frames or CSS.  This helps keep things simple.

  8. Use Strategies to Facilitate Teamwork as outlined in MIT's book "The MIT Guide to Teaching Web Site Design."  Click here for more info.
