of the Taylor's Elementary School Website

Owner: Taylor's Elementary School
Winner: UWSAG Top Ten! for December, 2003

1. What got you started in website design?
   
   "Our school decided a web site would be a great resource and excellent communication tool for the school community. I was asked to be the Webmaster."
   
   
2. What do you hope to accomplish with your website?
   
   "Our site exists to celebrate student accomplishments, to inform parents and other stakeholders and to share best practices."
   
   
   
   
   
3. What advice would you give to new webmasters?
   
   "Have fun and know that the Internet is full of wonderful people who will be glad to share advice, offer assistance and provide encouragement."
   
   
4. What was the biggest problem you faced with your website?
   
   "Trying to learn so many things at once and having the time to work on all the pages were my biggest problems."
   
   
5. If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
   
   "I would have asked for pointers from schools that already had sites online."
   
   
6. What plans do you have for the future?
   
   "My husband and I share our home with three charming dogs. Bichon Frises are beautiful and smart. I would love to showcase this adorable breed on a web site. Being a fairly new breed to the American Kennel Club, sometimes people do not know much about Bichon Frises."
   
   
7. What else do you like to do?
   
   "Write materials for elementary teachers, shop at flea markets, complete needlepoint projects and train dogs."
