Three points to consider

The You Tube channel I was talking about this morning is Veritasium. He makes lots of engaging, highly viewed science videos, interspersing himself talking with images of what he is talking about. Take a look at a few of them. Could our site have videos something like those? 

As you critique your websites, remember a point that Dallin, I believe, brought up. Not only should a site let us know what it is about, it should convey some idea of it being about something different and better than other sites. That sense of something different and better could be something, which Plato would like, that we grow in an understanding of. But right away we should have some sense of that. For Plato, his dialogues contrasted standard ways of covering a topic with better ways. Every dialogue was about a better way to consider a topic.

Also, remember that Plato wrote in forms that others could distribute for him. Does your website have content, in forms, that lends itself to being shared by viewers?
