Maintaining and Evaluating

Best practice support of web initiatives is backed by a rigorous, quality driven cycle of web and electronic content maintenance and support activities including the regular measurement of site performance to understand when sites become irrelevant and are ready for decommissioning or upgrade.

Maintenance

Lack of continuing care can reduce the impact and value of even the best-designed websites.

Consolidation and Closure

Assess site performance, continued relevance and archiving when considering a website's retirement.

Decommissioning

Following the process of evaluation a business decision may be taken to consolidate a number of websites or close a particular site.

Usage Monitoring and Reporting

Monitoring and reporting the usage that target groups make of websites can inform future development and help ensure that business needs are met.
