Website Planning Process
The process is broken down into five basic steps:
- Identify What We Want
- Create a Plan of Attack
- Design the Website
- Create the Website
- Use it
Identify What We Want
- Confirm the identity of the major stakeholders in the website(i.e. Administration, College & Career Counseling, SciMaTech Academy). Don’t forget students, parents & alumni.
- Confirm the identity of the minor stakeholders (i.e. individual departments such as health, engineering)
- Take a look at our current website – identify what works and what doesn’t work. Talk to the stakeholders to confirm this.
- Review websites of other high schools to see what inforamtion, layout, features they use.
- Based on previous two bullets – brainstorms about what our site should have.
- Review this with stakeholders.
- Final plan? Now, identify what we can do in this first phase. Remember…a website is a living thing so it doesn’t have to be perfect the first time.
