Concepts
Site Manager (Web Master) WorkFlow
The flow described below assumes that you have already set up your
server machine, platform, and firewall, selected your ISP, loaded all scripting
software, and installed the eMPower software.
The following list is a suggested approach to setting up the initial state of a
Web site that will use eMPower to manage it as it evolves.
1. Design the site: identify Content Groups, content of pages, flow of
information, link structure.
2. Layout and design your template with tables, graphics, hyperlinks,
etc. using popular web design tools, i.e., Dreamweaver,
FrontPage, etc.
3. Identify placement of content blocks, or content blocks, in the
templates and add ID tags to each content block in the template.
4. Identify and add fonts to the site to make them accessible to the
Site Maintainers.
5. Add content where necessary. Some content blocks can start out
empty but it would be helpful to authors if you put some content
that explains what should be filled in at each location.
6. Upload all graphics that the site will initially need using the content
editor.
7. Create User Groups and establish approval process.
8. Setup initial login permission that will let at least one site administrator
access the site.
9. Notify personnel responsible for site administering that the site is
ready for them.
