Congratulations! You’re an integral part of SLPS’s main communication tool to the public! It is very important to keep information up to date on our websites. When visitors come to our websites, they expect to see the latest information. It is better to delete old information from the site than to have a page with old information.
This brings us to the first topic:
1. Review of District Policy and Guidelines
2. Register as a Webmaster
All new school webmasters should add themselves to the official webmaster list (so we know who is the current person for that website). Please sign up here (this will also give you the instructions for registering on your school website for access:

3. Familiarize yourself with the Web Design Training Website (that’s this site!)
At the top of this site, you’ll see links to the main areas:
- Courses – Online Courses on specific topics that can be accessed at any time.
- Workshops – Live training scheduled at various times.
- Resources – Links to various websites by topic.
- Knowledgebase – Tips and Information on various topics, including social media use.
4. Review the website style guide (Yes I know it’s huge! Skimming is okay!)
Web Style Guide: Basic Design Principles for Creating Web Sites – explains established design principles and covers all aspects of web design—from planning to production to maintenance. The guide also shows how these principles apply in web design projects whose primary concerns are information design, interface design, and efficient search and navigation.
The basic course can be completed in three 1-hour sessions. These sessions can be done on your own, or through a guided workshop (please check the Workshops tab for the schedule). Also, you do not need to take the whole course if you don’t want to! Review the areas of interest or what you need help with.

Quick tutorials and how-tos.
Yes we DO have an app for that! You can manage your website with the wordpress app! The app will allow you to post photos directly to your site (just like posting to Facebook, etc.) and also to create/edit posts. We do not recommend using the app to modify pages, however in a pinch you can do this as well.
