Micah Web Site Development Process
We briefed Rabbi Zemel and the Micah staff on several occasions to get
their approval and input. We also briefed the Temple Board. All
were very supportive and enthusiastic.
Then we gathered input from the congregation, staff and leadership. Debra
Beland served as the interface between staff and the web site. A small focus
group provided feedback on the beta site as it evolved. This
group also participated in a “card sorting” (insert link here) exercise to
determine the optimum organization of the tabs and folders.
And, perhaps most importantly, we invited the entire congregation to
provide input through a web-based questionnaire. From our 90 survey
responses, we learned that Micah members assign the highest importance
to the following types of content:
- Rabbi sermons
- Calendar in graphic form,
- Activities, events and programs
- “Jewish” content
- Improved religious school coverage.
We also learned that members were looking for these types of web site improvements:
- Navigation aids – tabs, folders/subfolders, search function
- More modern look & feel without frames
- No expired content
- Consistent and timely information
Also, we researched the best practices for web design and the findings guided our “look and feel”.
