Project Description
Project Brief
Parsloes Primary School were in need of a new website for a variety of reasons. Firstly they needed a website that ticked all of the Ofsted boxes. They also wanted a school website that showcased the school and had lots of great images. Finally they wanted a system in place where teachers could upload their own blog stories but also had on hand support should help be needed at any stage.

Process
We knew what we needed to do in terms of bringing the website up to date for Ofsted and we also knew they liked a design that we had shown them.
We used WordPress again for its versatility and created the main structure of the site using dummy text and dummy images so that they could see how it all looks and made it easy to then just replace the images and text with new content. It also helped to be able to visually see where everything sits.
We used our project management system called Basecamp so were always able to keep track of all the elements and create to do lists for the team at Parsloes and for our Team. We also had an Ofsted check list, which they used and which you can download here – Download School Website Ofsted Check List
Initial Concept Planning
We always start our new web builds by presenting 3 ideas to the client. We then discuss the benefits of each one and await feedback before we begin anything
Drafts & Revisions
As soon as a style has been chosen we work on the site straight away. We know the element that need to be in place for Ofsted so we work on getting that ready as well as the bones of the site. Once this has been done we then present the website to the client and begin working on the actual content. The content can be difficult at times but we have lot of knowledge about what is needed so we can help you with this.
Final Delivery
We always work on a site until you are happy, so sometimes there may need to be a few tweaks here and there until everything is right. All the hard work is worth it though when you the final result goes live!
Final Results
The Final School website has been really greatly received. The site now has all the up to date information needed for Ofsted, Governors, Teachers and the Pupils of course. The site is being updated by the staff and with our help through the Maintenance Plan, we are able to provide them with help throughout the year to ensure the site stays safe and updated. It has been great working with another exciting school and we look forward to seeing the site further grow with new blogs and videos.
