Can teacher made websites help students on the road to success?

When you were in middle school or high school, did you ever forget to write your homework in your planner one day?  Or did you ever get really confused while completing your homework and need some assistance?  I remember when I was in school, this stuff would happen to me all of the time! I would get very discouraged when I didn't know how to complete my homework, and if I ever forgot to write my homework down, I just never did it.  Now, as an educator, I am in awe at what types of resources our students have.  If one of my students forgets to write the homework in their planner, they can easily visit my website where they can find a list of previously assigned homework as well!  Also, if my students get confused while completing homework, they can visit my website and find multiple links to help them complete their homework!  In my own opinion, I believe teacher made websites are extremely beneficial to the academic world. 

I've only named a couple of reasons of how a teacher made website can be beneficial.  Can you think of others? How has teacher made websites helped you in the past?
