This article provides a set of recommendations about how to evaluate human development and family life websites. There are two dimensions that need to be considered in judging the quality of web sites devoted to children and family issues-- information and delivery process. The most important aspect of the web site is the quality of the information. If the information is inaccurate and taken from biased or unreliable sources, then no amount of cleverness in delivery can make up for this problem. Determining the quality of information is a difficult and complex process, nevertheless, for professionals who are developing web sites it is important for them to develop critical evaluation skills as they review other web sites for possible links to their own work and as they make recommendations to other sources of information.
