Web Site Design

Web site design is another key curriculum service to that we are able to offer to schools and other educational establishments. Tony can offer advice and support in the upgrade of an existing site or provide a newly constructed site to the personal needs of each establishment.

The latestt schools to take advantage of having a bespoke web site created are Old Basing Infants and Manor Field Junior. The sites reflect the wide range of activities that take place as well as providing a wide range of information for parents. These schools have just completed their training and are now managing their own

Old Basing Infants web site went live in March 2009:

Ownership of your web site
This is a key factor in the design process that we offer. Our key objective is to provide schools with a web site that they can manage and contribute information to as simply as possible and enable the information contained in the site to be kept updated and relevant. If schools wish we can continue to provide costed support and update the website as and when required.

Existing Web Sites
We can work with a school to develop an existing web site. This can be uploaded to the county web space area if located with another provider. It is possible to incorporate existing sites into a web design package such as Dreamweaver.

New Sites
We can work with a school to create a new web site. This process usually begins with a flow diagram with contributions from all school colleagues and children. The site can be constructed using direct html programming or incorporated into a web authoring package such as Dreamweaver. From this an empty framework or template is constructed and material is then added. Regular visits to the school ensure the site develops appropriately.

Cost
It’s always difficult to cost a project such as this due to the size of the web site and if it is existing or new. We tend to charge £70 (on site visit) and £50 (off site working) per hour but this is flexible in its application depending on the work involved. Upgrading a site may take about 8 hours working time a new site will take longer depending on its complexity. The initial consultation hour visit on site is free.
