I create my websites using Adobe PageMill, one of the popular applications that permits even a beginner to create pages without knowing anything about HTML. For the Broadway website, I went cold turkey, composing Broadway almost entirely from straight text because I wanted the site to load quickly, even for the impatient student who is writing an assignment the night before it's due while "sipping" the data through the constricted straw of an ordinary modem connected to a telephone line. Each page is as simple and clear as I can make it—the point is to provide, not to dazzle.

My first version included a gallery of pictures intended as potential settings and costumes for the designers, but I couldn't begin to cover all the possibilities, and after watching the results in a couple of sections, I decided that the students would have much more fun (and come up with better results) if I let them loose to find or create their own material.

Most of the information is available on the website. From the home page, the students can jump to descriptions of their various job roles, to information about the three plays, to details about the three theatres, or to the instructions for the game. Each page provides unobtrusive links to related pages. Anyone who gets lost can consult a site map configured as an index.
