So, it’s necessary to evaluate the websites. With the full economic support from the Ministry of Education, every elementary school creates own websites. There are also many competitions held for the creations of these websites, encouraging each elementary school to enrich their websites with more content and information. However, each competition evaluates the websites with different standards and the evaluation is usually done under a subjective and fuzzy environment. These are the problems a good evaluation method has to solve. The above reasons lead to this research which focuses on rearranging and discussing the method for the evaluation of elementary school websites. Using fuzzy set theory and Analytic Hierarchy Process to create a standard method for evaluating elementary website which can be a referral for future evaluations. 　 　　The study aimed at developing the evaluation model of website by exploring the evaluation criteria of three chosen elementary schools. The Fuzzy Delphi method was integrated to form a set of the model of website evaluation for the reference of website. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was also used. After condensing some criteria, we constructed the hierarchical structure of determining key capabilities for campus websites. The concepts of fuzzy number and linguistic variables were used to assess the indicator ratings of linguistic variables, importance and appropriateness for ranking websites. Through the above hierarchy integration, we tested the final scores of capabilities through three chosen elementary school websites in Chia-Yi City, Taiwan. 　 　　The research indicted that Fuzzy Delphi method integrates scholars'' and experts'' opinions, saved time of questionnaire survey and filtered the criteria of website evaluation. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method applied with proper understanding and Fuzzy Delphi method provides decision-makers more details of websites. So, this study of elementary school evaluation model may provide their opinions on evaluation and design of website.
