Re: School Websites

Our development office contracted this out. Once it was done, they
maintain it with Dreamweaver. If I had a say in doing it over, I would
want a portal that would be able to access our Moodle, Edline, college
search and webmail with a single login.

Subject: School Websites

I am taking a hard look at my school's website and the resources
required to maintain the site with our current provider. I thought I
would reach out to other schools to see how you are best managing your
web presence. I was wondering if you would be
willing to share some information about your website hosting with me.
Here are some questions, but anything you are willing to share would be
helpful.=20

1. Did you create your website in-house, or did you hire a website
developer?

2. If you created the website, what software did you use to build your
site? If you used a developer, what company did you use?

3. Would you do it the same way again?

4. How are updates handled? Can you do them yourself or are the
outsourced? How timely is the turnaround? Is there an added cost?

5. Are you happy with the fees required to keep your website running? If
you are willing to share ballpark figures, that would be helpful.

Thank you for you help!
