__Testing __
====Testing the website with staff, students and parents on a trial would enhance the structure and content available, with appropriate feedback to benefit the new design, and to enhance for future design and alteration. ==== ====Constant testing during development will ensure that all the links and information stays constant and consistent throughout the production of the website. ====

__Maintaining __
====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Regular monitoring and updates are required when maintaining the website to ensure that all pages work, all links are still functional, the upcoming events is still up to date, and photos are relatively new.

====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Evaluating the website is ensuring that the problems and issues from the old website have been resolved in the new website. The product solution has been created to fulfill the brief and provide a better navigation and structure. The new website has given a greater image to the school, creating a professional atmosphere and a sense of community pride. ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For future development of the website would benefit from privacy on the photos section of the website.
====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The photos need to require parental permission before posting online, to ensure the student’s privacy has been maintained. To ensure random members of the public are not viewing the images of students, a password could be set to ensure only the school community has access to the photos. ==== ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However the issue of distributing the password may cause a problem, sending it out to multiple people would be a tedious and time consuming task. A suitable alternative could be design for future maintenance. ====
