By Jeff Ward Lakeshore School Division’s website got an up- grade recently to a more current and contemporary design that will give parents, students and staff more relevant information in an easy-to-fi nd way. The website was redesigned by Lakeshore’s tech- nology supervisor Justin Critch, who began work- ing on the project back in December of last year. He said the site was in need of a refresh and fi gured that he might as well make it more intuitive and rel- evant while he was at it. The website is actually two-fold with an outward- facing version for the general public and an inter- nal site only accessible by teachers and other Lake- shore staff. The aim is to give staff the ability to post to the outward-facing site so the info they feel is most relevant for parents can be seen. Critch said that this way there isn’t just one person who can post an event or other content to the website. “There is an approval process for submissions, but anyone can put stuff up on the site now,” said Critch. “I wanted something that was much simpler in design. If there’s too much, it can be confusing, and EXPRESS SCREENSHOT we don’t want people to not be able to fi nd what’s Lakeshore School Division’s new website is a much faster and simpler version than what they important.
