Easy to print. Only one person i have gamed with had a "campaign website". Everytime he got mad about me not keeping up to date, i asked for a current print out.
What do you look for in a Campaign website?

I'm going to do one of these for my own homebrew world (20 years in the making!)
What I want to include is Maps - starting with a clickable worldmap that you can then select locations for more information.
History information.
This is world history and also recent history - i.e. stuff that perhaps some PCs have been involved in.
Notable NPCs.
Locale information - Nations, Cities, Ruins, etc. This will include changes / additions by the PCs over time. Perhaps PCs will found their own town...
My custom pantheon, including various organizations and prestige classes for each.
Other organizations.
Easy to navigate. I want to make it a resource my players can use.

Things that help me to broaden the feel of the campaign such as vocabulary and common sayings, governments, fashions, Dieties, regional histories and events, race and country interactions/attitudes, unique observances, basically things to spawn the imagination or guide without forcing changes like Meta plots.

Thanks for all the ideas. Everything everyone said pretty much makes sense. I know a lot of people said no Flash, but what if the main website was HTML and we had an enhanced portion that was Flash and has interactive maps and that sort of thing? I can program that sort of stuff in Flash, but I'm certainly no Javascript programmer.
