Abbey Crescent Primary School Webpage

School Webpage

These are screenshots from my webpage designed on Webplus10, it is in a primary layout which I have tried to make suitable for pupils in this area of age and their parents.

This is the Kids Page of my webpage, in this page I have attempted to make it accessible for children, with a link to external sites for learning.

I tried to make the Year Page the most formal page on my webpage, this is because I felt it was the page that targeted the pupils guardians, therefore I set it up so that the parents could read about each of the key stages.

This is my about us page, obviously it contains contact details for users to further any communications should they be neccesary for parents or pupils. As well as this I have included a teachers note that outlines the schools aims and objectives from the more prominent and formal perspective of the school headteacher.

Evaluation

In my opinion my primary task website worked quite and according to previous made plans, I used my rough plans to help construct my website in a calculated way using an effective colour scheme and layout which worked appropriately. However I changed my plan slightly in the sense of context within the pages, which I felt in my plans was a little bit complicated therefore i simplifyed it.

Website Storyboard

This is my first storyboard for my school website production it drafts out how i will produce my overall website on Webplus 10.

What is the wesbites purpose?
The purpose of the website is to inform people who come on it of the school and its facilities, it will try to make a good impression of the school for people to look at and also it will be a place to get information and somewhere to find out contact details.

Who are the audience of the website?
The audience of a primary school website would mainly be the parents of current or potential students, however young students may go onto it also therefore it must be suitable for both.

What does the website have to communicate?
The wesbite has to mainly communicate a basic message of the school for users to see, it would include basic information such as contact details and a simple summary of the school. It may also communicate a learning environment for students or a simple email network.

What will the personality of the website be? (e.g formal, informal or fun if for a primary school)
The personality of the website will be user free and fun due to the fact that it is mainly directed at small children and their parents. The administrators will try to make it as appealing as possible by using bold colours and block shapes. Cartoons and simple word usage would also be used to make it more accessable to children.

Preliminary Task One Research

This is the website of a secondary school in North Hykham called Robert Pattinson, in a sense of typical school website conventions it fits the general mold, and i have annotated the full homepage of the school website.

Another secondary school in North Hykham is North Kesteven, again its corresonding website fits the typical convention much like the homepage of Robert Pattinson. Below I have annotated the homepage of the schools website.

The next website I have looked at is that of Holyrood Secondary School in Glasgow, it is Europes largest school of it kind so found it a suitable exmaple to annotate its website homepage.
