Brad,
We publish to an offline site where the student's info is
reviewed before publishing to our "live" site. I think everyone is
having the same problem of trying to do more on our website and not
having the time or expertise to do it. If anyone has tried to maintain a
website, they soon find out that it is time-consuming and not everyone
has the design talent to do it properly. If schools want an effective
website, they need to realize that it is not "free".
George

Subject: [info-tech] School Website Outsourcing
Is anyone outsourcing their district website?
I would like to hear the good and the bad if anyone has done this in the
past and also the name of the business that is used. Currently, I have
some independent study students that help me along with a few coaches
and secretaries that do their part. We have a "publications" class here
but they only work with the newsletter and yearbook. We are constantly
relying on the website for more each week and it is really becoming a
burden. I really would like to add more features but I don't know
enough and "don't want to know enough" to do it properly. Also, there
is always a worry about a student author publishing something that
should not be published!
Thanks.
Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars!
