It's YOUR ideas that are important.
Here are a few thoughts to get you started.
What do you want on your Club web site?
- Why do you use the web site at the moment? How could what you use or view be improved?
- What would you like added? What's missing?
- What could be made more helpful or informative?
- Want a section for your own personal photographs?
- Want Club news?
- Want detailed competition rules?
- Want competition results? (Internal and/or external)
Practicality: Is it easy to use?
- Is it easy to navigate to find what you want?
- Are the headings easy to read at a glance?
- Is the information easy to read and informative?
- Does the "What's On" calendar work well for you?
Style: Does it look inviting?
Do you like the look of the web site?
If not, what precisely don't you like, and how do you think the web site could be improved?
No arm waving and being wishy washy ! What's the answer?
- How would you improve the colour scheme?
- How would you improve the layout and design?
What YOU Can Add To The Club Web Site

See Your Own Photographs as background images
Do you want YOUR photographs displayed as the background image on key pages? eMail them to me.
The technical requirements are....
- Image Shape: Landscape is much preferred. Computer screens are invariably landscape, and are becoming increasingly wide-screen.
- Image Pixel Size: About 800px wide, 500px high maximum. I'll trim them to these values if I get larger images.
- Image File Size: Not more than 40k in size. The smaller the better to cope with all download speeds (i.e. modems). I'll trim them to these values if I get big fat files.
- Image Composition: Have the focus of the photograph to the left, as the right side may be hidden by information panels, or not show on square-format computer screens. Therefore, the left side must be able to stand up for itself.
- Image Quality: Need to be of excellent quality; no colour cast, in focus. MAKE THEM EXCITING !!
- Image Information: I'll need your name, and the name of the photograph; for the credits.
- Send Them: eMail me your original and I'll make it fit the web page for you. This option is easier on both you and me! I'll delete the original when I'm done. Otherwise, your finalised image.
