How to create a Region Web site, Part II

Expanding on yesterday's post of page types, this is broken down by the type of information consumer.
(The formatting didn't port very well, so I am going to make it an ordered list...)

 

The breakdown is the information consumer, what type of information they need, then the page(s).

Our Region's web page sucks!

Our web page sucks.  It is generated via D4 sports, but it never worked very well.  I see other region's sites, and they all seem so much better than ours.

We are about to form a web page commitee to decide what we want on it.

I think the web page should have a calendar of events, a main area with important announcements, info for parents, info for coaches, info for referees, game schedules, standings, and maps to the fields.
