How to create a Web Site
For Your School
Steps:
1. Plan your Web site
2. Create the web pages
3. Transfer the files to the school Board server
a. Obtain the correct user name and password for your school.

1. Planning School Web Sites
Content
Should have value to others in your school and in your community
Promote ownership by enlisting the help of others
Make every page count
Limit information about students
Don’t Be In a Hurry!
Start small
One page at first
Add material to your site gradually
We will not activate the link until you are ready
Audience
Define one or more specific audiences for your site.
– Students
– Teachers and Administrators
– Parents
– A specific, special-interest group
– Example: Sports, 4-H
Create material targeted specifically at the selected audience.
Describe links so that visitors have a clear idea about what's at the other end.
Do not have visitors follow too many links to get to the "meat."
Include navigational links on every page
Graphic Design
Be sure that all the pages have coherence.
Do this by repeating:
design elements
backgrounds
page layouts
navigational elements.
Limit the number of animations on a page to allow for slower home computers

School Page Topics
Statistics, Staff, Philosophy
Handbook, Newsletter, School Reports
Schedules, Holidays
Student Work, Classroom Pages
Sports, Clubs
Tools

An Internet connection

Have your principal send an email to Jenny Causey with a statement like this:

Web sites are actually a collection of files. The HTML files are actually the text of your page along with directions that tell a internet browser how to display the graphics.

HTML editors allow you to create the web pages just like using a word processor without any knowledge of html.

3.) Transfer the files to the school board server using an FTP Program.

You can download WS_FTP from http://www.lpsb.org/ftp.htm



1. Click New
2. In the "Profile Name" field, type your school name
3. In the "Host Name/Address" field type homeftp.lpsb.org
4. In the "Host Type" field, click on the drop down list and choose Automatic Detect
5. "User ID" and Password are assigned from the school board.

*These steps are not necessary after the first time you set up your account, from then on you will choose your saved profile name from the drop down list.
7. Click the "Ok" button.

After giving the computer sufficient time to connect, you should get a display screen that looks approximately like the one shown below. As you connect and are logged in, information returned from the server appears near the bottom of the display, just above the row of buttons.


Finding and Transferring the File

The list on the left side of this screen shows the directories and files that are on your computer, and the list on the right side of the display shows the directories and files that are on the ftp server at the school board.
Find the files you have used to create your website on the left side by clicking on the appropriate drive letter and then clicking on the appropriate folder until the html files and graphics are visible in the left window. Highlight the file or files you wish to upload (transfer) to the server at the school board by clicking on them. Then click on the arrow pointing to the right in between the two windows. The file will transfer and you will see its name appear in the right window. Make sure you send every html file and every graphic necessary for your site.
Updating Your Site
After the your web site is up, you can make changes to your html files, save the changes and FTP the revised file to the school board server. The new file will replace the old file. Don't forget to click the Reload button in your browser to see the new version of your file.
The address of your site will be:
http://home.lpsb.org/userid/
