Website Training

The website design service offered uses what is known as a content management system (CMS). This makes for a very flexible website where no knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript or any other website programming language is needed. Nor do you need to buy expensive, complex software where staff require training before they are able to maintain and manage the website. Everything is controlled from within your usual Internet browser.

The creation of new content is simple using an interface for writing articles that appears very similar to any word processor. Dates can be set for the publication and removal of any articles meaning that you can write something in advance of when you want it to appear on the website and have it automatically appear on the specified date. Similarly, when articles are out-of-date they are removed automatically.

Content can include text , images, videos and podcasts, including video podcasts.

All the content on your website can be set to be visible to only specified groups making for a website that is targeted at whichever audiences you choose: parents; governors and staff.

All this means that your website is a flexible and effective tool for communication.
