We are always interested in new members of almost any experience level.  Any student who has the desire or interest to build websites (or even just to learn) is invited to contact us at webspinners@uwf.edu, or stop by the office which is upstairs in the Commons behind the fireplace (yes, the big brick wall). If you are unable to come in person, check out our membership application.

**NOTE** We will not build websites for class assignments!  But we will help You learn how.

If you are interested in, or talented in the creation of graphics or other such website components, but have no particular interest in learning HTML, we would still like to hear from you!

Requirements

• Joining Web Spinners requires simply that one be able to assist in, or be willing to learn to build websites.

• Basic knowledge of HTML is desired, but not required, as we are willing to help new members learn Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and other HTML tools and techniques.
  
  • Note, however, that we are Not 'experts' and cannot simply cram this knowledge into your head . . . you will need to do a fair amount of 'self-teaching.'

Expectations

• We are a generally relaxed and 'laid back' organization -- being a member will not create the illusion of a full time job.

• You don't have to worry that two days after you join we're going to start beating you with HTML books and expect you to create a website in your sleep by the weekend.

• Members are assigned, and expected to complete, one or two websites per semester. We generally work on a website in groups of two or three, but depending on circumstances are not 'strict' in this.
  
  
  • We do, however, expect members to maintain contact with their organization(s) (and us) and to act in an otherwise 'professional' manner.

Benefits

• In the 'real world' skill in web development pays $15 - $30 (or more) an hour -- this can be an invaluable learning experience!
• Volunteer hours are applied to your transcript through CLOVE
• Members gain 'real-world' experience in designing and developing websites
• Members have access to, and training in Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks (etc.).
• Members build a portfolio of Websites to show potential employers
• Members have use of the Web Spinners office, computers, and software.
