Team Development:

While the developers at websitesforlibaries.com will build your site, a team from your library would take ownership of needs, goals, content and the other basic site elements. The following is our suggested lineup of an effective library web development team.  (two people can take on more than one role, but we don’t recommend that any one person try to be a team):

Web Whip: This is the overall project coordinator or traffic person. This team member will establish the calendar, process all forms, keep meeting minutes and do their best to keep the library team motivated, on schedule and on task.

Content Editor: While required copy will often be written by a variety of people, one team member is tasked with proofing, editing and compiling all the text and images necessary to build the site. The content editor monitors the overall site map and provides updates on what’s complete and what’s pending. Don’t forget to allow time for photo captions.

Site Navigator: Is the site heading in the right direction? Are we considering the visitor’s and the needs of the Library’s stakeholders? The Site Navigator is responsible for compiling the needs of the relevant departments, and patron’s in developing the priorities, mission and overall goals of the new site. The needs will be applied to the site map and the most critical will be those that are most obvious in the design.

Web Engineer: A site is dated the moment it goes live and all efforts are lost if there isn’t a Web Engineer identified from the start of the development process. This internal or paid resource will be responsible for coordinating maintenance of the site upon launch. The skillsets of the chosen Engineers will set the limits for the complexity of the site. Various departments can contribute to maintenance of the site, but one lead authority should oversee the process.
