CONSTRUCTION WEBSITE

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

This is the construction version of the website for the Dominica Diplomatic Service. Through an iterative approach (constant consultations, adjustment of plans based on feedback, etc.), this construction version will gradually be transformed into the final, official website. The DiploWeb project is supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

The key elements of DiploWeb methodology are:

  • clear strategy (vision) and flexible (adjustable) implementation;
  • team work (diplomats, designers and information specialists);
  • evaluation after each step;
  • focus on usability of website (how should it serve the needs of the diplomatic service?);
  • capacity building (increase diplomats' understanding of the Internet and web as a tool of public diplomacy).
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
