Website design and development, film and television courses, government on-line.

The content and design of web sites is generally a reflection of the primary functions of an organisation. There is a particular look and feel as well as primary content difference between university web sites, corporate web sites and government web sites. What happens to an organisation that has key features of all three?

The Australian Film Television and Radio School is a unique organisation in Australia. It is not a university and yet it issues postgraduate degrees, it is not a commercial or government production house yet it is one of the largest producers of short film in Australia. It has most of its physical facilities in Sydney but has a presence and runs courses in all States. It has a well-established international reputation but it is less well known in Australia. The purpose of this paper is to outline some of the methods that have been used to try to deal with this diversity and some of the plans for the future.
