Job Descriptions

WEB SITE ASSISTANT

Short Term

Check that any updates to the site (notified by the Manager) i.e. look for typos, ambiguities etc, in the text and that any new links work. (They may appear to work on the manager’s computer and yet not work on another).

Feedback any comments to the Manager asap so they can be acted on.

Medium Term

Periodically check through the web site pages to spot any material that has become out of date or inapplicable for any reason. It may be best to do a few pages once a month and so work systematically through the whole site.

Try to look at the site through the eyes of a newcomer trying to find various bits of information. In fact you could ask friends to act the part from time to time.

Feed back any comments and any thoughts you have on improving the site in any way that occurs to you, either by improving the ease of access to content, or improving its clarity, or indeed by adding new content which would be useful/interesting.
