All club's public facing websites are evaluated against the following baseline criteria. The results are used, in addition to other KSA defined criteria, to determine if a club will maintain, increase or decrease from the amount of funding allotted the previous year.
As thought leaders, your club website should be held to the highest standards, and be used as an extension of your group's presence beyond the walls of the school. It should attract and inform prospective students, recruiters, and alumni, as well as add value to club members outside of the activities you currently offer.
To learn how to update your club website, please review the "Officer Website Management" section of this help site. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

For inspiration, take a look at some of the sites below. They each have great qualities about them, and were all designed by students with little to no tech knowledge. You can do it too! The moral of the story is keep improving, keep innovating and think about your audience.
