I don't think it's likely or even desirable that every department submits a layout/text/pictures for their department page. Department heads are volunteers and they are not webmasters; this is neither their area of specialization nor responsibility, and asking them all to do their own page will be both ineffective and result in wildly varying quality and tone across the website. The website is an avatar for the convention's brand, and its pages should therefore be carefully considered in terms of visual literacy and professional tone. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As such, I think it would be best if a person were designated to work with the department heads to write some content for these pages and find appropriate pictures. I can do this and work with Rob on the coding end to make sure it gets done, if you would like, as I am not willing to submit this idea without volunteering to do it myself. I can reach out to department heads and add content they want added to their pages, such as instructional videos, demos, and links. If anyone desperately does want to write the material for their own page and select pictures, they can of course do so; I can just take a look at it and edit for tone and stuff if necessary. That will keep the quality constant and hopefully frictionless across the site. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tara</div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 3, 2020 at 12:00 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" class="">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tanya Aldrich <a href="mailto:taldrich@strategicon.net" target="_blank" class="">taldrich@strategicon.net</a><br class="">
