- Intro - explore process - tools used We will focus on how we implemented 12 sites over a 4 month period, of which 8 are currently live. Where we experienced challenges and also which tools we used to get these sites up and running. This session will highlight how we formed concepts to streamline updating of template code and other elements of the sites. What steps w took to make sure mobile development was as streamlined as possible for the African environment. The selection process of choosing components for the project. The go live process from our local environment to staging to live. Some of the client & content challenges. Advert management and code snippet implementation. Feedback after 4-5 months of being online and how the sites are evolving.

- Mention the update process - check all components websites for updates - not all using the new XML update process - check on core changes - run update on TEST environment - roll out on localhost, then test - roll on beta server, then test - if ok - roll out on LIVE issues - some modules and overrides have to be checked on update - the update process on live did have issues with HD space running out, so updates did not work
