What kind of website do you need?
You will need to plan your website carefully in order to make sure that you have the website that you need. There are certain minimum requirements that will give you a worthwhile presence on the web - a website that will inform your audience and one that is visible to search engines. Even if you decide to opt for a basic website you do need to ensure that it shows the essence of your international school through the careful and selection of materials from written copy to photographs.
A basic international school website should include:
- a homepage
- contact details
- introduction from director / head teacher
- curriculum overview
- extra curriculum overview
- photo gallery
- admissions information
- recruitment or employment information
- board of directors / governors information
- school calendar
- student profile
- facilities overview
- site map
The following can then be added:
- newsletters
- messages from section heads, team leaders
- more detailed curriculum documents
- examples of children's work
- teachers pages
- class pages
- alumni
- facilities
A further stage might involve adding:
- lesson plans
- forms for administration
- on line lessons
