Issues to consider during the content development and construction of a primary school web site

Abstract

This research project is one part of an intensive study concerning the development, design and marketing of Primary School Web sites, focussing on the construction of a Web site for Laerskool Lynnwood, Pretoria. The dissertation of my fellow-researcher, Ms Hendrihette du Preez focuses on the marketing and promotional aspects, where as my dissertation discusses content development, content management and Information design aspects. Due to the fact that a large part of the complete study consists of the specific development of the product, some parts of the two dissertations are necessarily similar or overlap in some instances (especially in chapter 3). However each dissertation can function as an independent entity that is supportive and complementary to the other.
