7.0 HOUSEKEEPING  


Nothing is more frustrating than visiting a neglected website. Outdated information or missing 


links on one page can make all other information on the site suspect. To help mitigate 


problems:  


7.1 Include a "last updated" date on each page  


7.2 Encourage error reporting by providing contact information and/or a feedback form 


(further encourage it by promptly acknowledging any feedback you receive).  


7.3 Assign departmental "information stewards" to review pages on a regular schedule.  


7.4 Develop processes and schedules for updating your site with new information and 


archiving or deleting information that is no longer timely or useful. 


7.6 Routinely retest your site for user friendliness. Make sure it is easy to navigate for all 


users and that the processes employed function properly and efficiently.  


7.7 Backup your site. Maintain an organized and handy back up of all pages and related files 


on your site.  


7.8 Keep your site current. Expect to re design your site every one to two years.  


7.9 When "remodeling" your site, try not to rename or move pages or directories. If you must 


move one, provide a "redirection" page in the original location. Be sure to notify InfoPath and 


any other linked sites of your new address.
