1. THE FUTURE OF SCHOOL
WEBSITES
Marketing Meeting
February 17, 2014
2. What we Have Today
Each school has an independent design
No way of adding content on all schools instantly.
Information is different for each school
Not compatible on tablets and smartphones
Difficult to add new web-technologies
3. What is Needed
Standardized design method
Semi-standard content
(academic, registration, contact, etc.)
Multi-device compatibility
Easy to upgrade
4. Introducing Bootstrap
The most popular front-end framework for
developing web projects today.
Uses a responsive design framework that works on
all devices seamlessly.
Is free to use for commercial and non-commercial
Highly customizable.
Uses the latest HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
languages.
Compatible with EMSB web server technology.
9. Why do we need it?
Most schools do not have basic information about
academic programs
(QEP), bussing, registration, daycare and school
services.
These categories are standard for most to all of our
schools.
Ensure all schools have up-to-date and correct
information.
Important news and board-wide events are not
always advertised on school websites
10. How do we do it?
QEP
Transportaion
Registration
Multiple
School
Websites
EMSB
News
13. Proposal
Convert all school websites to bootstrap
framework starting with the oldest.
Apply generic designs to all schools first.
Then arrange meetings with school administration
to introduce a custom design.
