Lodge Web Site Competition - Description
A National OA Conference is about having a great time, and also learning new ideas and skills to take back home and improve your lodge. Lodge Web Sites play an integral part in your lodge's communication with both members and non-members. Your lodge's presence on the web needs to be up to date, accurate, and follow the guidelines for OA web pages.
The purpose of the Lodge Web Site Competition is to foster new ideas and give positive feedback on your lodge's web site by experienced web authors. Winning lodges will receive an exclusive "NOAC 2009 Honor Site" logo to be displayed on their site.
Web sites in the competition will be judged on three basic principles:
- Perception (Layout, Design, Navigation)
- Information (Current data, Council/Lodge Information, Contact Information, Organized)
