As a software trainer, I’m based out of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, and travel all over the country helping teachers, administrators, staff, and other faculty members learn more about their website. I’m a professional trainer, facilitator and project manager. I have extensive experience developing training programs to inform, educate, and allow individual to master web development. And…, I can do it in two languages, Spanish or English.
When designing teacher pages, it is important you keep in mind how your pages are viewed. Are they viewed on a:
- Desktop
- Laptop
- Tablet
- Or other mobile device?
Most websites are view on mobile devices, and therefore we need to keep responsive design in mind.
Responsive design (i.e., mobile friendly) is a crucial element of modern school website design. It helps with ADA accessibility and means your website can be accessed by a wide variety of mobile devices. Good responsive design assures each web page is readable and usable on a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone. It automatically resizes and re-formats your pages to eliminate that annoying and time-consuming zooming and dragging that serve as barriers to the viewer.
A school website that incorporates responsive design can be shared and viewed through email links, or social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, which more than half of users now access through mobile applications.
