Session: Website Project Management
Instructor: Steve Fisher
Track: CMS Business Track
Audience: Businesspeople, Content Creators Administrators & Developers
Do you manage your website, or manage web projects for clients?
Building a website without planning is like telling your surgeon that x-rays are a waste of time – just start cutting, and let’s see what’s in there. We’re not saying we’re doing surgery here, of course; it’s really more like rocket science.
And as we all remember from grade 4 rocket science class, a lack of careful planning can get really, really expensive in the end. All too often, getting a website built is an experience somewhere between chaos and torture. Developing your website is a bit of a moving target; it's a dynamic, ever-evolving process that can really get away from you if you're not careful.
So how do you plan for success and avoid the pitfalls that can derail your website project?
In this session, we'll cover the tasks and steps you need to work through to ensure a successful (i.e. on budget and on time) project. From research, goal setting, and planning to content gathering, design and testing, we'll leave you with a plan outline that will help walk you through the website development minefield.
