Web Work

In this section I offer to share my web-authoring skills. I have been involved in producing several web sites, which has given me opportunities to learn HTML, a little JavaScript, Active Server Pages (ASP) with Access and SQL Server 2005 - and, more recently, ASP.Net 2.0.

School Messaging System

Contact Chemsolutions for a free trial of this software (subject to terms and conditions).

This runs on a school web site and provides instant messages on screens around the school. Teachers and other staff enter the messages - pupils and staff have separate message boards. Uses ASP and Access databases.

Look at St Dunstan's College's Message System - ICON - running live continuously. You may have to allow popups to see this demonstration. St Dunstan's College's site is accessible on the internet so that parents can also see these messages and calendar items from home or work. The same information is also presented, together with a database-driven College Calendar on the school web site homepage.

Because of the success of ICON, the College installed a large display for ICON in the main foyer in January 2004. Photographs of this noticeboard are displayed in a gallery here .

Web Site Building

If you would like some advice on web site construction, please email me. Apart from this site, examples of my work include:

School Web Site Document Archive

Contact Chemsolutions for a free trial of this software (subject to terms and conditions).

This runs on a school web site. It allows teachers/admin staff etc to copy letters (Word documents, pdf's etc that have been sent to parents) into folders on the web site, which then are instantly accessible to all parents via an automatically generated up-to-date web page listing. In this way, all documents of importance to parents will be permanently available. Utilises ASP.

At the moment, St Dunstan's College has five of these - a newsletter archive, letters archives for the junior and senior schools, which hold copies of recent letters and other documents sent home to parents, and document areas for internal and external examinations.
