West End Runners Website Contents and Development

Last modified: 2-Nov-05. Here for a copy in Word form - contents.htm

This document acts as both a contents page and a website organisational tool. A hierarchical presentation of pages is followed by a proritorised list of web site maintenance and upgrade tasks.

The Word document is formatted to be saved on the club website as contents.htm, so it is the actual contents page for the website, the short names in the table being hyperlinks.

Website Plan and Priorities

The planned changes to the website are listed below in priority order. The list is divided into Regular Updates and Website Improvements. The former have priority over the latter.

Regular Updates

Web Page(s)	Task Description
Hotmail account	Every few days check the club Hotmail email account for website related queries
index, changes	Home page, website change log.
events, pastev, calendar.	List of race dates, social events, meeting dates. Including WET. Move past events to past events page. Website author preference is for one list. Newsheets can do the job of presenting events by topic. Annually check contents of date-less calendar. Events to include: time, organiser or organising club/link
Contacts	Maintain single contact page so it is always accurate.
Contents	Maintain the website structure, style and accuracy (so pages are consistent, look the same and links work).
Rotm, links	Maintain the Runner of the Month document. Maintain accuracy of web links page.
Newsletters	Add new newsletters/sheets to replace any attempt or need for website news. Adding past newsletters is a background lower priority task.
lrrl numbers	Annually add names and numbers (especially November – Jan)
Officers	Annual page of club officers and helpers.

Website Improvements

Web Page(s)	Task Description
All	Graphics, pictures, effects to brighten each page. This is more of an on-going task as it is ideas/creatively driven.
pictures	Create a newer picture gallery page. Select, format and present more up to date pictures. (Already have all Glynn’s pictures up to Feb 2003). Aim at bi-annual update so pictures only 1-3 years old.
Kit	Kit description, prices, link to Fastrak (see past GS email)
Training, routes	Training and Coaching. Update and fit in existing Quality page. Based on Dave R’s rough notes create a ‘Routes’ format also usable on club night.
Records	Club records (re-format and / or just Glynn’s Word document)
history	History, ethos, highlights / milestones
pack	Check website contents against the membership pack like history, social calendar etc. This has not been done recently (DMR has August 2000). Perhaps just the contents page is needed to be highlighted as a benefit of membership.
venues	Gradually build up descriptions, maps, postcodes of regular race venues, to save the annual running around giving people directions.
routes	The club night running routes including distances, times, risky spots & different ways of doing the route. Club standards to guide groups ?
Affiliation	Change / improve the content of the lraa page (Leicestershire & Rutland AAA) to be a brief description and links to athletics administration for education reasons. Links like LRAA, MCAA & other sites. Bring in existing LPSAA pages and find more links.
Fun	Can the web author have some fun please? with lists, jokes, graphics and stuff culled from magazines
