A website should be considered and planned carefully within the context of an organisation's work. Common problems which arise without this planning include:
- Website not being updated regularly enough and getting quickly out of date.
- Website does not mirror the different facets of an organisation and is an "extra burden".
- Lack of adequate training for website staff.
- One staff member responsible for all aspects of a website - technical, copy-writing, graphics.
WebFolk works with organisations to help them plan and resource websites which achieve the best results at the lowest cost.
Website Management Planning
WebFolk's experience with voluntary/community sector organisations and SMEs means we are very attuned to their particular working structures and resource constraints.
We can help your management dovetail your website with your other services and activities in such a way that it becomes a helpful part of your organisation - not an extra burden. We also focus on how the site might grow, so that your resources can be developed accordingly.
We go through some elements of management planning when designing a website for anybody, but medium to large organisations nearly always benefit from more detailed work.
Website Management Audit
Through a series of workshops with an organisation's management and key staff WebFolk are able to build up a picture of how far a website is achieving its aims and how well it is making use of resources.
This will result in a detailed written analysis, recommendations and observations - helping you to develop a sound strategy for your website.
