Examples of well designed Tanzanian school websites .
- Email communication - hosting your company email with features such as sending emails, SMS and alerts automatically whenever news or events are announced, exam timetables and results, awards, school digital media contents for events and other important information to the stuff and parents or guardians . Through the use of personal company email suh as rosemmanga@martinluther.ac.tz
- Student Information Systems - Where each parent can login and be able to track his/her student progress with statistical reports, class teacher info & communication, fee status, subjects, books information. Teachers will also be able to login and post students information .
- Analytics (Site Statistics)- ON-SITE ANALYTICS and OFF-SIDE ANALYTICS are important to influence your organization decisions. Its a great tool to understand your users in terms of locations, website navigation (what they often require from your website).
- User feedback and contact page - feedback is an important component for customer satisfaction, it will also be a platform to get suggestions on what features they would like to be added or removed to the website and the education service in general.
- Digital media buy - this feature helps you to advertise the school on the internet through different social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, twitter, YouTube at a cost. Digital media selling is when you get payed to advertise on your website.
- Footer section - this section will include a map with the school's location,contact details, shortcut links to other pages of the website, social share buttons, copyrights and any other additional features that you will require such as links to subscrition forms etc.
- FAQ And HELP PAGE - It's important for any website to have a frequent asked questions page (FAQ) to assist new users or costumers to he school services with already written questions and answers about school. Since users (parents and students ) are new to the internet world its important to have a section to give them Help.
- Terms and conditions & policy page - This acts like as a legally binding contract between you and your users, setting some rules that the user must agree before using your website. Why have Terms & conditions and Policy? Prevent abuse, own a Copyright of your contents, power to terminate account or deny access to some users, Limits Liability and set the Governing Law .
- Security -is the major concern to any organization or company. http://martinlutherschooldodoma.com is not secured, i.e there is no END-TO-END Encryption. This means anyone can modify the website contents and give user fake contents, read information from server to user computers vice versa. This is a big threat to any company because hackers can be able to fake information such account information, contact information and website contents. Server side security is also an important concern, to protect the server and the domain. We decode data from user computer to the server and vice-versa meaning that anyone in the middle can not view or modify data. Our server uses the secure software with cron jobs that scans the website every after a requested interval of time. We use a stable php version with state-of-art libraries (php frameworks).

Website Redesign

Why www.martinlutherschools.ac.tz?
A user friendly design which immaculates a modern website.
- Layout- we design a layout that is responsive to multiple devices, with the use of proper graphic content, buttons, icons, font styles etc
- Image quality - the current images are pixilated (not well designed) we recommend the use of updated image sliders, editing with a modern software such as photoshop, resizing in equal size, height and more graphics on the images.
- Colours - we recommend the use of different collaborated colours to present a pleasant attractive outlook. Normally the use of one colour on a website would portray a dull overview.
- Animation features- this includes features like zoom in-out, bouncing features, fade in-out, animation text, div (sections and blocks) and images.
Generally the design will meet the state-of-the art website design technologies and Methodology. Below is a demonstration of a new layout, quality images, the use of different colours and animated faetures.
- This TLD (Top-Level Domain) has greater importance technologically and politically although it's not used as required .
- SEO Advantage (Search Engine Optimization) ac.tz has a SEO advantage to highly rank your site as an educational institution in Tanzania. For example, anyone searching for school content in Tanzania will be directed to a page of school websites with a domain address that is recognised as an educational institution by the search engine and ccTLD.
- http://martinlutherschooldodoma.com is too long which is not recommended in domain names. The domain name should be short enough and easy to remember.
- http://martinlutherschooldodoma.com is using the .com Top-Level domain (TLD) which is reserved for commercial uses, for Example (.org) Organization, (.edu) Education, (.gov) governments, (.net) Network, (.co) Company, (.info) Information e.tc Lastly (.ac.tz) Education In Tanzania according to ccTLD.
- www.martinlutherschools.ac.tz as plural gives room for growth with a lower or no-cost at all for the business. Any additional services such as a secondary school or other branches of Martin Luther shool can be under the same domain.
