Afterthought

Hey!

Something we discussed at the beginning of the challenge but completely forgot to add to our brief: Google Analytics. So we are just adding it now, 2 days after the end of the challenge. If we'd set it up at the start of the challenge it would have been interesting to collect a bit of data from the old site to compare with the new one but that's ok.

Actually, we've been quite slack overall on the comparing front. We focused so much on getting the site done and cool-looking and functional that we let down the documenting side. This means that you don't get to see the old site which, when put next to the new one, really illustrates how much we have achieved in terms of creating a fresh new look for the centre, and making the website more welcoming. Also, I've noticed that we haven't put the manual that Kat created up online. I'll text her to remedy that as soon as possible. And does anyone want to see a screen shot of the Silverstripe CMS? I have to say that we are so glad to have found Silverstripe. It was the perfect CMS for our needs and with Kat's manual+ the online video tutorials, I have no doubt the North Shore Women's Centre will be able to update their own website confidently.

We are quite happy with how the forum is going so far. The forum was quite an integral part of our brief and though not many people have been contributing yet (the forum is only about 3 days old), we have quite a few members just reading.

Unfortunately the hosting situation is still not resolved so the badge doesn't work yet (because it would be linking to www.screengraffit.com/digitalfix/ instead of www-womyn-ctr.co.nz). This is quite disappointing as we thought it was such a good idea and could have been quite successful. We really wanted to try to tap into some sort of viral campaign and this seemed like the perfect solution. I am going to push this as soon as the hosting situation is sorted out. I can't wait to see the badge on people's blogs and websites.
