Cool School of the Week: February 21, 2006
Seven Holy Founders School, Affton, Missouri
http://www.shfschool.org/
Mark, the webmaster for this Catholic PreK-8 school in Missouri, reports, "We use Dreamweaver 8 for static content.
PHP and MySQL are used for dynamic content such as the calendar and news."
The site is highly professional, with a clean, consistent design, quick and intuitive navigation, and a nice array
of content – including three educational games: hangman, seek and find, and a crossword. The orange and yellow
elements, against the white background, provide a light, easy-on-the-eyes look and feel that reinforces the ease of
navigation.
The calendar is a nice, full-screen presentation and also reacts very quickly to clicks, a result no doubt of the
use of state-of-the-art programming in PHP and MySQL.
At the present time the Curriculum section is under construction as the school is going through a self-study, but
if the rest of this attractive site is any predictor, folks involved in the life of this school will find it very
useful and pleasant when it's completed.
All in all, a very strong, professional-quality site!
