1 Step
● The first thing we did was choose a theme
for the website.
●
●
● We decided to choose the corporate theme because it
is easy to use with a simple and clear layout. This
would be easy for parents and students to use. We
also like the light blue colour of the background, as the
light blue was inviting and friendly. We also thought
that the light blue linked to Island School because of
the blue buildings, blue uniform etc.

● The second thing we did was add a banner
●
●
● We decided to use a picture of Island School, which is also on
the website because it made the website more personal to
Island School. We added the Island School logo onto the banner
to make the website more personal as well. We chose to make
the “Island School” in a dark font so that it was bold and easy to
see. The “PTA uniform shop” is slightly transparent, however it
almost fades into the picture of Island School. The font is still
quite easy to see, so parents know that they are on the correct
page.

● The third step in our process was adding dif-
ferent pages in our website.
●
● We chose this tab bar because it is simple and clearly
laid out. Also, when you click on one of the tabs it is
slightly highlighted and the font turns red so that the
page you are on is easy to identify. The colour of the
tab bar also matches the background colour.

● The next thing we did was to add a search
bar onto the home page.
●
● We added the search bar so that the site is
easy to navigate around and so parents and
students can search for a particular item of
clothing if they are unsure as to where it
would be placed under.
●

5 Step
● The next thing we did was write on the
“about” page.
●
●
●
●
● We added the “About the website” page so that parents who
were unfamiliar to Island School would understand what this
website was for and how to use it. We also added a map so that
parents can come to pick up the uniform and know where to go.

6 Step
● The next thing we added was a slideshow for
each of the categories.
●
●
●
●
● We added a slideshow because we thought that it would be easier for
parents to simply click through different categories, or click on the
picture that they want. This also saves space on the website as well. We
decided to caption the photos in a grey box with white font so that it was
easy to read and stood out amongst the white background. We included
the sizing and prices so that students can come into Island School after
ordering online with the exact amount of money.

7 Step
● The next thing we added was a contact page.
●
●
●
● We added the telephone number, email, address and opening
hours on the left hand side in case parents wanted a direct way
of contacting the school and so they knew when the PTA shop
is open. We added an even more direct messaging system to
the PTA shop so that if there were any complaints or questions,
the PTA would get them directly and try solve the problem.

8 Step
The next thing we added at the bottom of
We added this form at the bottom of the page of each uniform section
So that parents have an online ordering form and it is easy to buy
Uniform. This was also part of what the current PTA staff wanted on
The website.

10. The last thing we did was add a slideshow of Island School's
Values, as it is also on the Island School homepage.
We did this so that the home page was a bit more colourful and
More interesting. It also grabs the audiences attention so that
People want to stay and explore this site. The images also make
The site more personal to Island School and let knew parents
Know what Island School's values are.
