My thoughts on what makes a great website:

Needs great high quality pictures, crisp colors, and good content. Content needs to appeal to all potential audiences - Potential Members, Current Members, Alumnae, Other Greeks, Parents, Administrators, and the Community --- you never know who may be looking at it!
List your accomplishments prominently.
Have a password protected site for members and alumnae.

The chapter here just updated their page. It looks pretty slick. We may rival them in Greek Week, but I gotta give them props for the layout.

ETA: The other cool site for the gals is www.phisigcsus.com. I think.

Re: Music
If it's part of your little intro... fine. But if it plays on your homepage and it takes forever to load, no one will hear it and it'll just take up bandwidth. But I agree with the "stop/start" buttons.

Re: Guestbooks
Ours gets spammed A LOT. I have to delete something EVERY DAY. Is there a code or something I can put somewhere to block it?
