Managing a Web Site
Developing a presence on the World Wide Web is much more involved than simply cutting and pasting images and text on a virtual page. At Jannetti, we take a more hands-on approach to producing a digital representation of an association. A Web site is developed in stages:
Discovery - In this stage, we listen to your initial ideas for your association's web site and organize it into a flowchart. This gives you a vivid representation of how your site will work.
Conception - After the flowchart is approved, the preliminary design concept is developed and presented for review and modifications.
Attainment - Once a design has been approved, all content (including images, movies, sound, text, etc.) will be collected and catalogued.
Development - Using the approved design, a working prototype of the site is developed and placed in a private directory for review and final corrections.
Closure - Once the site is completed, it is uploaded to a secure area for final review and testing. Upon your approval, the site is uploaded to the public server.
Administering a Web Site
After developing and designing the site, there are a variety of tasks to market your site on the Internet. The most important of these tasks is to ensure that the most widely used search engines (Yahoo!®, AltaVista, Excite) are indexing, or cataloguing, the site. If your site has not been correctly registered with each search engine, then the people looking for your Web site will be unable to find it.
Unlike a printed brochure or newsletter, a Web site is never finished, it is only current. To encourage return visits and attract new users the content needs to be kept fresh and updated. As events within your association develop or are completed they are added or removed from the Web site.
Content within the site also needs to be monitored for its value. By using your Web site's log files, (information that indicates who has been there, when they visited, what pages they looked at, etc.) interpretations can be made about what they liked or disliked. This information is then used to pinpoint the areas in the site that need to be improved, adjusted, or removed.
As the Internet becomes more pervasive and users realize the power and accessibility of information and cross communication, a greater demand for interactive, dynamic content is emerging. People want to be able to order products, take tests, complete registrations, see and hear presentations, and conduct their regular business without the hassle of a paper and pen.
Online Education
One of the greatest assets of the Internet is its ability to serve as a virtual classroom. People are now able to register for a course online, read the course material, and take tests right from home. This is especially useful for nurses who need to maintain a specific level of continuing education (CE) credits.
Using Internet technology, educational credits can be one option offered on your Web site. Visitors are able to read and download articles, view streaming audio and video presentations, and complete tests for CE credits. Once the test is completed, participants receive a virtual certificate. Payment for the course is billed to their credit card and the funds deposited in the appropriate accounts.
Online Communications
Direct interchange with other people in your field is one of the most efficient ways to problem solve. The Internet offers many communication tools to tap others' knowledge, including online forums, chat rooms and electronic mailing lists.
Because members value such services, providing communication tools has become one of the most vital responsibilities of an association.
To help your members network this way, we will help you launch such communication tools as:
Online Forums - Members participate in discussions about various topics relating to their fields and exchange valuable insights and experiences. Forums can be designed for specific topics and specialties. Using forums, members join discussions in private areas on your Web site.
Chat Rooms - Visitors to a chat room are able to participate in a live discussion. Virtual meetings can be scheduled and conducted in real time among association members.
Electronic Mailing Lists - Those who subscribe to an electronic mailing list receive an email newsletter sent on a periodic basis. Subscribers may also receive an email message that is distributed to each person in the list. When one person submits a comment, it is automatically sent via email to everyone in the list.
Security & Privacy
Security and privacy are among the greatest concerns of those using online communication and e-commerce. Consumers want to know that their personal and financial information is adequately protected from unlawful activity.
At Anthony J. Jannetti, Inc., every measure possible is taken to secure any and all e-commerce transactions. All online form submissions are placed on our secure server, and personal and financial information is not redistributed.
