Your school or district's website's "news" section has never been more important. In a socially-distanced and virtual world, your community is craving familiar connections, feel-good content and up-to-date information. So, if you haven't taken a look at the user experience of your news section, now is a great time to do so!

First things first: What makes a good news section?

• Clean design: Website visitors seeking news want it fast, so your news section should not be muddied down. A clean, mobile-first design ensures visitors can find whatever they need from whatever device they have.
   
• Up-to-date information: You should aim to update your school or district's website section at least once per week — however more often is better. 
   
• Filterable content: The best website experiences are those driven by the user's wants and needs. The content within your news section should be easy to filter by type of story. (Think athletics, distance learning, feature stories, etc.)
