Website design and content


Written: 27.9.12

Today I was asked to review the website the Commission is producing to be used by the public during the election period. The main website www.waec.wa.ov.au will still be available but all searches will be redirected to the election specific website which will feature as a” one-stop-shop” (the managers words) for everything involving the election.
I was asked to review headings, check links and link paths and review the preliminary content that has been uploaded.

I found this exercise thoroughly enjoyable and was the most fun I’ve had at my internship so far. It was great to be able to use what I’d learnt in classes in the real world, by putting it into to practice and not just talking about it in theory. The best part was that I was surprised by how much I had learnt. I was originally quite nervous when asked to review it because websites aren’t covered extensively in the PR course, but I realised as I was reviewing that I learnt a lot more about websites than I thought I had.
Overall today was a very enjoyable and educational experience and I left my placement with more confidence than when I walked in this morning.
