Bob Chapman http://www.awardwinningwebsitedesigns.com I have read all your criteria, including Aesthetic Considerations, Additional Considerations and the Accessibility questions and feel it can score well. As a BIG fan of Leonardo da Vinci, I have always coveted your award! I did apply for one some time ago, but did not truly deserve to win at that time. My site has been significantly improved since then. Although there is certainly more to do, I hope I can win it now. All pages now validate to HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 and accessibility is taken very seriously as well. I have won 200+ awards so far. Bob Chapman

The teaching strategies in this eBook will help you take back control of your class and enjoy teaching once again. It's even guaranteed!
