Clemson University

Student Web Competition

1. Submission

Each school may submit one web page. If the web page cannot be loaded during the time of judging, the team will be disqualified. All judging will occur during the weekend of the conference, and each school registered at the conference may submit a web page up until the time the judging begins. More information concerning the official starting time for judging will be posted on this page at a later date.

2. Computers

A computer on which the web pages will be viewed has not yet been designated. The computer will be a minimum of a 500Mhz machine using the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. Netscape Navigator 4.7 and Internet Explorer 5.0 web browsers will be installed, and Macromedia Flash and Shockwave plugins will also be available.

Scoring

Appearance 20%

The appearance category includes such features as: spelling and grammar, readability, and the aesthetics of the web page. This category will be judged upon how professional the web page appears, along with how well the page can be viewed.

Usability 30%

Usability encompasses the areas of user friendliness and organization. Though a web page may contain useful information that is beneficial to its audience, without a well-organized and user-friendly interface, this information may never be read. Therefore, this category holds a major rating weight.

Content 40%

The content of the web page holds the greatest weight since the main purpose a web page is considered to be the process of getting appropriate information across to the viewing audience. The content of the web page should be suited for the intended audience, have current information, and have appropriate links. Technical aspects of web page design will also be considered under this category.

Compatibility 10%

Netscape Navigator 4.7 and Internet Explorer 5.0 will be the available browsers for this contest. Each school will be able to specify a preference as to which of these browsers that school would like their web page to be viewed on. Web pages that are compatible on both browsers will receive a better rating.
