Shop template

From Port City Makerspace
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a draft of a template to use for each shop.

The goal is to identify and answer the following questions:

  • What information would members find most useful on a shop page?
    • Common things members might ask about
    • Useful resources we have that might make common or special tasks easier
    • Important rules, what to avoid, how to keep the shop nice
  • How should it be organized?
    • Safety and critical information first
    • Helpful stuff second
    • Additional info third
  • How often would this need updating?
    • As significant changes are made to the shop itself
    • Ideally not frequently. There should not be any information on this page that is likely to change rapidly.

Category:Shop Name

Overview

Summarize purpose of shop, what you can do, and 2-5 highlights of equipment and resources.
