Turner Home Page Contest
Background:
It is good practice to revise the appearance
of a web site every so often to keep viewers interested. The
original home page of our website has served its purpose and we feel
now is the time to let our more aesthetically talented Turners take
on the challenge of constructing a replacement. Since the Turners
have a ready made pool of talented people who have already taken
part in various artistic competitions, a contest to determine the
design of a new home page seems like a logical approach. A contest
would also create interest in the designs as they are displayed in a
new “Contest” section of our web site.
