Risks

In most instances, the availability of content can be regarded as
the largest risk factor in any project of this nature. The lowering of
this risk is essential to the success of any project and this can be
achieved by following the strategy below.

representative that will collect all the relevant data that has to be
on the website.

Methodology





Workshop to understand the needs with all stakeholders
Create sample designs and present for signoff
Create a new database back-end and populate the database with
all existing data as currently available.
The full extent of existing data is not currently known. With this in
mind, we suggest that the initial content be captured with the
assistance of ourselves.
When all or convincing data has been populated to the demo site,
we will then review the whole site (with signoff from GAAL) and
then publish the website as live.
Time frame – Web-site

The development of the back-end can start within 1 week of
acceptance of this proposal.
Workshop to determine needs (1 day)
Development of new look and feel (1 week)
Presentation of new look and feel (1 day)
The publishing of existing data will vary in the time required
depending on the amount of data that we are requested to assist
in capturing. This will be determined during the
workshop. (estimated 1 month)
The timely completion of the project will depend on the availability
of information as requested from the client.
