GLA is unique in that it is the first school that we know of set in a Shopping Mall. An alternative approach is gained to education and for that reason we wanted a very special website, that will attract visitors and welcome them back each time they visited. For this reason we chose Joomla as content management system and integrated modules like Twitter etc. to enlarge our platforms of education to students, parents and the public.Case Study: Case Study:
From the outset we wanted to create a website unlike any other existing school-website. It had to give a powerful platform for submitting news updates and reports.
Communication was spread over three different areas by making use of a Twitter module, Newsletter Signup Module, Latest News Module.
GLA is a parallel medium school and therefore had to cater for two languages. This was achieved by customizing the menu system, to include both English and Afrikaans on the same menu tab.
Although we wanted to give a feel to the visitor of a professional academic institution, we also wanted to keep it adventurous and exciting to the visitor. The use of a unique background was implemented and the placement of slideshow contributed to the overall feel.
Joomla as Content Management System allows various staff to login and update specific content as needed.
All in all, exactly what we envisioned!!
