Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop a Web site for a primary school and to determine the quality of the web site in comparison with the web sites of other primary schools. The specific focus of this study was to determine the promotability of the web site and to point out the advantages for the school concerned. Ms Mariaan Greyvenstein, my co-researcher, focussed on the content development and management aspects of the web sites of primary schools. The dissertations of both the researchers discuss the web site of one specific school, and for this reason some information overlaps periodically. Both of the dissertations have separate functions and each one is special in its own way. A detailed description of the development and testing of the product is given. The acquisition and evaluation of results are discussed. The researcher discusses the findings to assure the profitability of the product.
