People go to websites to find something out. Therefore the key is information and content. Pretty pictures are pretty, but otherwise offer little insight. Don't concentrate on those. Same with music - I had to jump up and turn down my speakers rather quickly. I don't go to a chapter's website to hear music and I doubt anyone else does either.
Who will go there, and what will they be looking for? These are the questions you should be asking yourself. Put yourself in the postion of a visitor. Don't do something because you can; do something because you know someone will look for it.
Even though you're just getting started, it's not too early to guard against stagnation. Nothing says "neglect" like an out-of-date schedule! A visitor going to a site and seeing an event "this Saturday" - and it was three weeks ago or more, will immediately get the impression that the site is not maintained by anyone because nobody cares to update it. When an event is over, GET IT THE HELL OFF THERE as soon as possible. This is very important.
Otherwise, you're off to a good start. Yes, check your spelling and if you're not sure, ask Tom - like "iws tr". Not everyone knows how to spell that (ROTFLMAO!).
In ZAX,
