web-400894_640You might be surprised by how much the look and feel of a website impacts communication and community engagement. In this webinar for edWeb.net’s Parent Involvement and Community Engagement, professional website designers shared how design solves communication problems and why it is a critical factor for increasing your K-12 community’s engagement.

The Schoolwires team of Gina Beisel, Senior Manager of Creative Services, Kyle Taylor, Graphic Designer, and Amber Wolfe, Web Designer, explained why design is an essential aspect in creating a great user experience that keeps your K-12 community coming back to your websites, and how this is achieved. Gina, Kyle, and Amber discussed what makes for ‘good’ website design. Deeper than trends, taste, and aesthetics, design involves a whole process of objective thinking and problem solving as a basis for creating something beautiful, functional, and interactive. The presenters shared principles of design, the design process, best practices in design, benefits of good design, and how a well-designed website can increase community engagement.  View the webinar to learn how a well-designed website can increase community engagement for the schools in your district.
