WEBSITE DESIGN AND EVALUATION, FORUM ONE COMMUNICATIONS
Forum
One Communications, a leading consultant for public policy focused organizations.
It provides NASPAA members a concise and valuable Web Site Audit service.
The
audit is to identify how well the website of a graduate school is performing in
serving key audiences including prospective students, employers, faculty members,
and the media. The audit looks at four areas where performance is critical to serve
these audiences
well - online prominence, the online “user experience”, the quality
of the web site technology, and the value of site services and functions. The audit
will answer 2 critical questions for schools:
-
How
well does a website perform against standard best practices?
-
What
are ways to improve the effectiveness of a school website in serving its key audiences?
The
audit will be delivered to a school as a three-page report with findings and recommendations,
and be followed by a 45-minute phone consultation with the Forum One audit team.
Of our
team of 35, three of our co-founders and senior
managers are graduates of public policy programs. We bring to our work a
passion for making progress on critical policy issues, and leveraging the power
of online services to help organizations succeed in their work.
Our
staff brings all of the skills in online strategy and cutting-edge technologies required to plan, develop and implement
an influential internet strategy. Our
staff includes project managers, senior strategists, graphic designers, database
