Now, my $.02
If you visit an educational web-site, the last thing that you want your
potential viewers to do is to lcick a banner!
And, also, education is way to important to make it adverstising-dependant.
Probably the government will provide with free web domains for public
schools. Then, it's up to cookie-selling or to the regular fund-giving
companies to provide for space.
Of course, you can always have a "Credits and Thanks" page were you thank
your "Mega Corporation" for paying the web-hosting service.
But, nevertheless, profit is not the way to think when dealing with education.
And, BTW, banners are a PITA. And, for poor students that conenct to those
sites, running cheap-Linux boxes, all that Java-Script stuff can crash their
browser. I'm not a non-student, but I run Linux at home. And the advertising
/banners.... stuff only makes my browsing slower and takes away invaluable
real-state space on my screen.
And at every schools there's this band of kids that already know how to build
web-pages. Make it a learning project. It will be fun... and cheap!
Salut,
Josep
