School Web Site of the Month - January 2008
Why is Stonehill School Web
Site of the Month?
- This is an excellent site that has been regularly updated. The pages are colourful and contain a good balance of animated graphics and photographs which help to make the pages fun, as well as being interesting and informative.
- It is easy to navigate around the site and to find information quickly.
- The site is designed around a template which has been applied to every page, this helps to keep the pages consistent.
- The gallery pages are of very good quality, they contain photographs alongside a description providing useful information about what the children have been learning about.
Further development ideas:
- Some of the information on the newsletter page could be archived as it currently dates back to 2005. This could be easily cut down to just a year and still be very useful for visitors.
- Some of the photographs could be a little smaller in size so that they load faster on the page.
- Some of the file sizes of the pages on the site are a little large for example; the council page currently contains 44 images that take over 189.35 seconds to load on a 56K modem. Ideally, this page should be no more than 30 seconds.
- The website could make better use of style sheets which would make the site more accessible for people with disabilities that could be using a screen reader.
Overall, the Stonehill School website
is an excellent site.
