We believe that a website can be viewed as a living organism, which passes through various phases from conception to maturity. Many websites do not address the issues arising from continued growth, are not managed beyond the initial phase of enthusiastic growth and are so difficult to maintain that further activity ceases.
Like many other complex evolving systems, website growth needs to be properly managed in order to contain the problems of content and site management. We have developed a number of procedures to efficiently manage both source documents as well as the website documents. We have also developed automated procedures for generation of site navigation aids and site management information.
As the Audit WebSite becomes more complex, containing ever larger amounts of content sourced from an increasing number of people, the above concepts and procedures will deliver an efficiently managed website which will continue to serve the needs of the Audit community.
