Web

With resources dwindling and the need to share accurate and timely information at a premium, having a quality website presence is a critical component for any organization’s success. A well designed and implemented website is essential for a positive user experience and one that truly benefits its owners. A primary objective of all websites is ensuring good communication, information and presentation. Regardless of whether it is for internal or external dissemination of information, there is an essential need to communicate effectively with the website visitors. LCW offers several website options as shown below.

LAUSD

Through a joint effort between the Office of the Chief Operating Officer, the Office of Communications and the Learning, Communications & Web Services Branch, the LAUSD main website underwent a redesign to the interface. The initial goals were to make the content easier to locate, provide a simple navigation from the homepage to specific areas of interest and create a design that complimented content. This page and several others are now translated into Spanish with future translations planned.

Board of Education

The LAUSD Board of Education wanted to improve the flow of information through the use of their online presence. In addition, they recognized the need for each of the Board Members to have an individual website to communicate with the constituents in their Board Districts. The Learning, Communications & Web Services branch worked directly with the Board Secretariat to define the goals along with designing and developing the websites. This was created in a highly flexible and customizable solution giving the Board Members several options on how to present their information.
