London Grid For Learning Site Update Launch 19th April 2007
Enclosed is a copy of a letter sent by Chris Woods to all schools regarding the ‘new look and feel for the LGFL web site
Please be advised that the navigation system on the LGfL web site is due to change on the 19th April. The top level pages and content provided by the London Grid will be hosted within a new content management system (CMS) and the existing site will no longer be updated. The following issues were considered: - Speed of response
- Full content search
- Left hand navigation panel
- Consistent style throughout
- Dropdown menus to main sections
- Retention of the Content grid
- Permanent breadcrumb navigation
- Dynamic site map
On the 19th April the old site will have redirections for the main URLs put in place and the LA level menus to LGfL will be changed accordingly. Although some content may remain on the existing system for a short while, ultimately all sections will be migrated across to the new address and direct links you might currently be using may need to be updated.
There are more features being developed within the CMS including RSS and other web 2.0 technologies which will be added at a later date. For now, if users would like to view the new site prior to the “go live” date they may visit http://cms.lgfl.net - User feedback is welcomed.
