Submit your site for review by the EEWW
The EEWW reviews Web sites the second Wednesday of each month. Sites are evaluated against standard criteria to determine whether they:
- Relate to EPA issues
- Meet requirements for EPA linking policies
- Povide age-appropriate information
- Offer useful educational tools
- Are easy to use and are engaging
- Communicate information that is interactive and Internet appropriate
- Use accessible technology
- Communicate information clearly
Once your site has undergone thorough review and usability testing, you are ready to go live!
