Development and Submission of New Web Sites

Davis Facilitators are encouraged to work with professional web site designers to create sites.   (For recommendations, see Web Designers for Facilitators.) Please also feel free to share the link to this web site with your designer.

Please take measures to assure that the site is not easily viewable to the public or discoverable by search engines during the design process.  Generally this means using password protection or developing the site in a subdirectory or web host with a temporary domain name.

While the site is in development it is acceptable for the facilitator to maintain a simple, one page “coming soon” notice which can include business name, address, phone number, and email or contact form. If the one-page notice references Davis® trademarks in any way, a licensed facilitator should also include the Davis trademark notice in the page footer.

Individuals who are in their final stages of training (final field assignments/ final pod weeks) may develop a site and seek pre-approval.  A “coming soon” page is also acceptable, but if the facilitator is not yet licensed, that page should not have any reference to Davis programs or trademark. See:

When a site is ready for approval, please submit it directly to your DDA of affiliation, if other than DDAI.
