Company Meeting – 09/07/09

As the week before two members of the Erixx staff were away for work experiance, the team had an important sit-down meeting this week to discuss many issues that have arised within the company, with job roles being the main focus. Even though some had roles anyway, as new members have joined they have been changed. After each role has confirmed by Mr Kluth, it will become the member of staff’s official job title.

The team also discussed the staus with Welton Primary School, and we are happy to confirm the site is ready for server migration, which will be done at the start of a working week after we have registered a domain with hosting company 1 2 3 Reg so the DNS can be forwarded to our servers. We hope for it all to go to plan and smoothly.

We will also be enquiring about offering a web design course for students in the school, so the higher years can learn some skills that could help them with their ICT studies in secondary education.

Erixx is also pleased to confirm two new clients, both of which would like a complete website created and maintained. More news of development will be posted when they are confirmed.

The Company will soon be able to confirm more details of advertising, which include preparing presentations and publishing leaflets and dispaying them in high street stores.

04/06/09 Company Meeting

In this weekly meeting we discussed many things, including a new possible client for Erixx and the procedures the company would have to take out at Welton Primary School.

To make the customers experiance better for all of our new clients at Erixx, we are also planning to host sample sites that the customer can choose, which means choosing the design for a web site has just got that little bit more easier.

For advertisng purposes, we plan to launch a new campaign to make the general public more aware of our services. The campaign will hopefully start in time for the end of term in 6 about weeks.

Welton Update

Over the last few weeks Erixx has been working on a list of updates for Welton primary school. All the updates have been succesfully completed and are now live on the new Welton website. Also the new autmatic newsletter updater is soon to be avalible to use. This means that we can now update new newsletter quickly and to everybody’s satisfacation.

Erixx meets with Welton Primary School

On the 19th March 2009, four members of the Erixx tean had a meeting with the primary school to negotiate future plans for the website. After much discussion and negotiation, the staff both at Erixx and Welton Primary decided that the web company would only be updating the website, which consists mostly of uploading newsletters, updating diary dates and keeping close maintenance on all of the pages on the site. Even though the meting was considored lengthly, the feeling at the end was the meeting was extremely productive.

Welton School will now send us pieces of information that we will upload, and we hope to work with the school for a large period of time.

Company Meeting – 12/03/2009

Yesterday we had a full meeting with only one member of the company missing.  In the weeks meeting we discussed issues about Welton Primary School, our own website, the Children’s Society Website and New Business.

As far as Welton Primary School is concerned we are now completing the final preparations in order to begin the transfer, bringing their website onto our servers.  In order to complete this process we are now researching to find-out who the domain name is registered with in order to get hold of a IPS tag which will allow us to transfer the domain onto our servers.

On next Thursday Myself, Mike Tavinar and Ben Pearson will be travelling too the primary school in order to work with them and get as many updates done to the website as possible.  By attending this meeting we will be able to meet with the client, discuss their website further as well as upload as much material to their website as possible.

We also plan to upgrade our own forums over the next few weeks in order to integrate them with the current CMS [Content Management System] that erixx is using so that sessions and accounts are shared accross the website.  In order to do this we will begin using BBPress.

On the down-side the Childrens Society has decided to have their website for the Pupil Parliment due to loss of interest on the topic by the children involved.  We have been ensured that it is nothing to do with the services that Erixx has provided, but purly down to the children involved.

Clients

We at Erixx are looking to find new customers to be able to give them high level websites at affordable prices. Although we currently do not have any new customers or new business we are looking at making test servers to enhance our service to new customers. Also a member of the Erixx team is looking at advertising to be able to reach to a wider range of people who would want websites in their name, although we may advertise our main audience is to give websites to local primary schools at affordable prices.
