Summary of approach

  • Sections/areas, not separate sites.
  • Much smaller and simpler - audience focused, clearly defined purpose.
  • Content much more integrated with mainsite. Content exposed in key areas of site where visitors are looking at related material. Strong links from F and S areas.
  • No content duplication.
  • Flexible approach - 'local' content that has no logical home on mainsite remains on school site. 
  • Aligned with mainsite approach for content being organised by task, topic or user group - not by organisational structure.
  • Encourage people to think about F&S content (rather than F&S 'sites').
