The Website Year

The website year is a constant round of updating. While it is possible to treat each of the update events as a separate project, it is often easier to treat the website year as a single ongoing project.

 

The timeline given below is an example of a website year, and the website year for a particular Academy will differ from this. The timeline does, however, illustrate the kinds of tasks that will need to be scheduled.

 

The timeline assumes that the website customers are parents and members of the public. If the website is also used as the virtual learning environment, or the staff online notice board, or the parents’ gateway, or for facilities hire, tasks will need to be added to the list.
