December 2014 VIS Web Site of the Month

Dec14_POMWe are pleased to announce that Rufus Fairbanks Chapter DAR has been awarded the December 2014 VIS (Volunteer Information Specialists) Web Site of the Month Award.

Each month, new and revised DAR web sites are reviewed with the intent of recognizing the hard work of our member web designers and the states and chapters who stand behind them. Since 1998, this committee has chosen a “Web Site of the Month.” In 2012, the contest was extended to include winners for the months of July and August. These winners are the “best of the best,” and are entitled to display a special graphic.

Criteria for Web Site of the Month

  • Content (informative and shows how the chapter/state serves its community in historic preservation, education, and patriotism)
  • Originality (uniqueness)
  • Public appeal (oriented to the general public, especially prospective members)
  • Attractiveness (pleasing to the eye, legible, good contrast between background and text)
  • Compliance with VIS guidelines
