Website is live!

October 17th, 2011

Our new website is now live!  We now have a new site design; brand new coloration that coordinates with school colors; a drop-down menu bar that is more reflective of our school community’s needs; navigation that is more user-friendly; and more information for current and prospective families.

Here’s just a short list of the new and important features:

• Updated and expanded curricular content
• Conveniently-located click buttons to admissions, registration, and on-line giving.
• Conveniently-located My BackPack login buttons.
• News features that will post both campus news and BYDS in-the-media articles.
• You can access our site via the web address www.byds.org .
• Parent menu that will be posting valuable articles and web-links.
• Guest login for donations-for anyone without a My BackPack account.
• Lots of pictures!  And there’s even more coming…

Please know that several sections and pages remain under construction-but this is by design, because some key features like the news features and the parents section will necessitate on-going postings in order to keep the site current and relevant; in addition, the curricular content will eventually incorporate pictures and images to illustrate our program.

This is all to say that our website is not meant to be a static site-we aim to keep infusing it with additional and updated information.

Many months have gone into creating this new website, and several on staff have been involved in working with our programmer out in Los Angeles, Jeremy Broekman, who designed and constructed the site-I want to single out both Marci Gilbert, our Advancement and Marketing Director, who oversaw the bulk of the site construction details, and Cathryn Mellon, our Curriculum Specialist, who produced the bulk of the curricular content.  And all throughout, Robyn Burck has continued in her role as technology advisor during our web transition phase.

As always, do let us know your suggestions on how we can make the site better for your needs.

Sincerely,

Tom Elieff
