Onsite Visits

To guide you through the process of setting up your web site you may wish to arrange an appointment for a member of the team to visit your school or children's centre for an initial visit. This visit will involve some basic planning and guidance on site structure and content and enables you to focus on the goals and aims of what you want to use the web site for.

To prepare for an initial meeting you will need to ensure that you have talked to other members of staff and perhaps parents, governors and children too about how the web site might look and what could be included on it. The best way to do this is to visit other school, extended schools or children's centre web sites to gather ideas.

This is usually followed by a day visit which involves building the web site and adding the content which has been put together following the initial visit. The day visit requires the member of staff who is going to be responsible for updating and maintaining the web site to work with the School Web Site Publisher and supply cover may need to be arranged.

A follow up visit can be arranged after the member of staff has been on a Dreamweaver training course and has been updating the web site for a while. This is to offer some follow up training and to help iron out any problems.

To book an appointment email school.websites@hertscc.gov.uk in the first instance or tel: 01438 844944.
