Overview of the Class 1963 Web Site

Purpose: -

This web site is a focal point for consolidating and disseminating information about the ATS Class of 1963.

Goal: -

Provision of this web site should facilitate the communication and sharing of information among ex-classmates.

Objectives: -

To provide a central repository for the Class 1963 members whereby they can submit and retrieve information over the Internet.

To form the basis of a forum that allows the members to share their knowledge, experience, and interest.

Design Principles: -

The web site is easy to create and maintain.

The navigation within the site is simple and intuitive to be mastered by a site visitor.

The time required to load a page is kept to a minimum.

A site visitor doesn't need to scroll a lot in order to view a page.

When a site visitor wants to print a page, the content can fit into a 8.5" x 11" page without spilling over into separate page(s) or losing portion of a page.

The web site is designed and developed by following an evolutionary process.

Constraints: -

This web site is hosted by Tripod as a free service and therefore it does not support a number of features when pages are developed and managed with the software FrontPage.
