Self managed website
You may choose to manage the site in house. If it has been well designed and implemented it should be possible to make changes without too much fuss using appropriate software. Of course for all but the smallest of sites this is a time consuming business. Often schools have relied upon the expertise of members of their staff in order to maintain their website. This job may fall to the Technology or IT teacher. However, keeping a website up to date – or revamping a website – is a time consuming and specialized task.
