For a thorough review, see this document in Sharepoint provided by David Archibald in Sept 2022.


In terms of setting up the site, most of it is one click and automated with the exception of:

  • FTP accounts (trivial)

  • SSL – not difficult and again one click – more a case of understanding what you want to do

  • Email – a bit more challenging.

Avalon Marketing and Website Design

Housekeeping

  • Assess if you still need the site - and that initiative extends to assessing the different sections of the site, and even individual pages.  If a page no longer aligns with what your organisation does, why continue to display it to visitors?

  • Ensure that the latest version of WordPress (currently 6.1 at time of writing) is installed.  If your site is running on old software, you may be vulnerable to more recently developed security threats.  You can use a test site or “staging” site where you can test upgrades, to make sure they don’t break the site

  • Ensure that any Plug-ins and licenses you use are up-to-date.

  • If you are running Google Analytics, which monitors the number of visits per page, please ensure that the site’s "Privacy statement" reflects this.

Avalon offer the following services:

  • Design and development of new sites.  By involving us from the start, we can ensure your project is set up for success and avoids any pitfalls.

  • Maintenance of existing sites. We are available “on call” to deal with issues, as and when they surface.

  • Website audits - to determine how well your site is performing and ways in which it could be improved.  We review security, usability, reliability, and maintainability.

  • Usability reviews.  How visitors feel about using your website is crucial when considering the best way to present information.
