What Makes A Good Team Website?
by: Bob Howdeshell
High School Baseball Web
I recently undertook the task of updating and verifying ALL of the high
school team websites listed here on the High School Baseball Web. What an unbelievable
task! Over 1,200 sites listed and I had to visit each and every one.
Now that I have completed the task I am glad that I did. In an odd way it was
like visiting old friends .... Some of the sites have been listed here from
the very start of our site. Unfortunately some "old friends" are no longer
around. I can only assume that they have graduated.
The following is a listing of some of the very best sites. Not always the most
"flashy" but those that I feel do a great job of getting the information out,
making it easily available to their readers.
I have also listed a comment or two about some of the sites.
This does not take away from the fact that each of these sites are
excellent examples!
Klein Forest High School
Houston, Texas
Klein Forest
I like the aerial view of the baseball field on the front page
This is an older high school site and it just gets better with age
Collins Hill High School
Suwanee, Georgia

Very nice index bar -- Address info right on the top of the front page.
Site has a nice directions page. It does get points deducted for not
having a link to the High School Baseball Web!

navigated. One suggestion -- make the contact information easier to find.
