Review of Professional Website.

You've been working on the content, that's good!

I think the paragraph subtitles could pop out more.Perhaps they need to be bolded. WoodWorking.

I see that you've changed the links in the main horizontal menu, that's good, not many people seem to have done that.

I'm wondering If one of those links should be "Home". If a visitor comes from google and lands on the mathematics page, how does that visitor go to your main page? A knowlegeable user could discern the home site from the address bar, but what about the others? Maybe you could do the "hot spot" link trick on the banner. These types of things might be best done in the template.

Following the first link to the mathematics page I see a black "Fifth Grade Mathematics" title against a dark background image. It's tough to read. Maybe try something with greater contrast.
Check the 5th grade social studies title as well.

5th grade science page looks good.

The link to the LAUSD school calendar is good.I may steal that idea. I think that is useful.
At the time I was checking the link to the School Faculty, the Castlebay website was down. Mrs. Moore was probably updating it.

I see you have obfuscated your email address from the bots. Nice technical touch.

Your teaching philosophy is well thought out. Shows professionalism. Sure beats my three sentence philosophy.

The map to the school is handy.

Not your fault, but the google poll / survey thing irritates me that I can't see how my results compare to other poll takers. I can't remember a poll on the net that didn't let you see results, that's 90% of the appeal of taking a poll.


Overall the site has come together nicely. You are further along than many others. Keep working on the content.

Flash Review

I like the jack in the box. You're right, the handle does spin fast! Your site still looks great. I like the way it links directly into your professional site. I also like the way you posted your projects on the 618 page. Very nice.
