DESIGN QUESTIONNAIRE – eSchoolView/
UNATEGO CENTRAL SCHOOL
List 3 examples of school district websites that you like in terms of visual design.
1.www.greenecsd.org
2. www.cforks.org
3. www.oxac.org (edu list continued below)
What do you like about them?
Easily navigable; intuitive search options that don’t overwhelm but get where you need to be; good use
of space (the ideal is not too cluttered but not so much boring, unused white space that the page feels
low-energy); images (the good ones, that is) convey a positive, proud attitude; not too fluffy.
List 3 examples of non-education websites that you like in terms of visual design.
1. www.delhi.edu
2. www.svsabers.org
3. www.mashable.com
What do you like about them?
Same as above. Also easily skimmable with the eyes to quickly pick up new info. Rich with options.
Appealing to all stakeholders (including those in the community who don’t currently have kids enrolled in
school).
What design elements would you like to see changed on your current website?
Everything. There is little valuable content or positive messaging. The breadth of the district and its
schools aren’t discernable. It’s flat and empty. The only major useful features are the homework hotlines
on the middle school page.
What are your color preferences? Provide HEX codes:
White, black, and green (the shade found on www.unatego.org).
Do you prefer clean straight lines, or curves and rounded corners?
Clean, straight lines.

center):
Center. Please note that the school name, physical address, phone and fax number should appear in the
footer.
Main Navigation: Choose which Main Navigation layout you would like to use: * Layout A Layout B
Layout C
We are suggesting Layout B however, we are interested in the navigation seen at cforks.org: two
horizontal navigation bars, with a clear, easily seen lefthand quick links list that changes on each page,
like a walking and usable site map. Please keep that in mind when making layout choices for us.
Main Navigation: List all of the Main Navigation buttons you would like to be displayed in order from
left to right (we suggest 4-6 buttons):
Main:

Square
Rectangle
Rounded Edges

Slideshow: Choose which Slideshow layout best fits your needs: Layout A, B, C or D (see below)
Body: Choose which body layout you would like to use: Layout A, B, C, D, or E
(We can alter this somewhat. We just want the basic homepage layout). The interior pages will usually
have navigation on the left and your choice of columns.
Body: List all of the items that you would like to appear in the Body of your homepage (i.e. News
Articles, Events, etc.) – in reality you have full control over this in the CMS once your site is made but let
us know what you are hoping to see in the concept.
News, Announcements, Events (both text and box calendar),
Body: List all of the items from above that you would like to be showcased in a button form (if any): (i.e.
Superintendent’s Message, Parents, Students, Staff, etc.). Again buttons can be changed down the road
but let us know what you would like to highlight here so we can mirror that in the concept design.

Overall: Describe any additional elements you would like to be included in your Design Questionnaire or
any questions that you may have:
Each school will have their own page and photos. The main navigation buttons will have dropdowns—do
you need those now? Group teacher pages will be needed to fulfill the homework hotline service now
provided on the old website. Better logo to come.
