More and more modern technologies and, in particular, the Internet are being introduced into modern education standards. That is why today every school is obliged to have its own website.
Choosing a hosting for your website
Each site has a certain platform, place, or, more correctly, hosting, on which it is hosted. The convenience of working in it, the convenience of its maintenance, the speed of the site, its capabilities, as well as the cost of its placement depend on how correctly you choose the hosting for your site. As a rule, schools do not use paid hosting with many possible settings and capabilities, they simply do not need it. Among the free hosting services, the most popular are, perhaps, Yukoz and Narod, supplied by the Yandex system. However, for some time now, the "Narod" hosting has lost popularity due to its small functionality. So we can safely say that Yukoz is the optimal solution for most schools.
Registration on hosting
To create a site on the Yukoz hosting, you need to go to the hosting home page and register. To do this, you need to click the "Register" button, enter your email address and come up with a password. After that, you will be provided with a unique identifier, with which you can go to the website builder page.
Website design
To create a website, you first need to choose a template. The many templates provided by the site building system will allow you to choose the style that suits you best. When choosing a template, keep in mind that you can always replace it with another one if you get bored with the old one.
Once you have chosen a template, you can start creating pages. You are provided with both a ready-made constructor for creating so-called sections, and an HTML editor in which you can express all your preferences in creating pages, but for this you need html layout skills.
A typical school site structure includes the following pages: home page, documents, school photos, achievements, school contacts, vacancies, if any, and school hours. A good habit in building a site is to divide it into semantic blocks. For example, when creating a page with documents, which is perhaps the most important for the school, do not place all files on one canvas, but structure the data using, for example, drop-down menus. When posting documents, keep in mind that there should be both the ability to view them within the site, and the ability to download them, if necessary.
Another important aspect is file storage. Don't trash your file manager. Do not be lazy to create folders, correctly name documents, photos and other files. This will help you manage your website faster and more efficiently.
