 Goal:
Initially, Dover came to NetProfits in 1998 to help them build a "static" web
site (one with basic content that didn't change very often). We discussed
the "flavor" that they wanted and the impression they wanted to
give to the community. As we designed the "theme" (look and feel)
for the site, they gathered their content. When everything came together
they were very pleased with the result.
Note: In September 2001, Dover asked if we could give their web site a
complete makeover. This new site has a brand new look and integrates with
other web based tools they are now using to provide additional features to
their students, teachers, administrators and the community.
Result:
As you can see from the testimonial, they are very pleased with the web
site. Over time Dover realized they needed more dynamic content so we added
several areas with content that is database driven and could be maintained
by them. There is a section where alumni can add their contact information
and graduation year and be added to a list where anyone can view alumni from
specific years. There is a section where visitors can search for teachers
and send emails. Even the calendar has been changed to be completely
maintained through a user-friendly browser-based interface where designated
teachers from each school can update the calendar without knowing any HTML.
All of these enhancements provide the community different ways to be
involved in the school district.
Testimonial:
Having a web page designed for a school district is a different task than
having a web page designed for a corporation. I was concerned that the page
wouldn't have the school/community flavor it would need to be successful. I
was pleasantly surprised in working with NetProfits to see how sensitive they were
to our very specific needs. Our Web page is never a completed task, it is a
work in progress. New ideas as to how the page can be improved are
constantly being advised to us. I have received compliments from the entire
Dover community and alumni around the world on the design of our web site.
What I am most impressed with the company is their professional yet
personal touch. NetProfits has become a part of the Dover Public School Family and
we are grateful for their input in creating the Dover Public School web
site.
Thank you,
Yolanda Méndez
