Cavscite: Cavite National Science High School's Official Website

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

We are living in a fast paced, technology advanced world; when a parent is trying to find information about a school, the first place they look is the internet. Cavite National Science High School is the Regional Science High School for CALABARZON located in Garita-B, Maragondon, Cavite, Philippines. It lacks information on the internet or social media. Nine out of ten students in the school do not have enough knowledge about it. The school has no legitimate and updated website. Finding information about it such as its profile, events and achievements was difficult because it is not available online.

METHODS

Laptops were used for editing, installing, encoding and making the website. Cellphones were used for getting pictures and information. Wix was used as the website platform. Programming using HTML was conducted. The web designing was made as simple and plain as possible. Taking pictures of the facilities and gathering of information about the school was conducted. Next was the actual making of the website using wix.com, a website publishing. After making the website, it was published with a good price in own domain. Next was promoting the website through social media and posters. A survey was posted online for feedback through Random Sampling. Lastly, the analyzing of data through percentage.

RESULTS

Most of the respondents who answered the survey had a high rating to our website which indicates that the website had an excellent overall ratings based from the perspective of the users (students, teaching and non-teaching staffs, parents and other people who are curious about the institution) since the website has the exact information needed and it has a semi-formal theme which captivated the interest of users. Based from the recent result of the study and the previous one, the latest website has better results, information, and quality. Given that the previous (old) website was made using HTML, it has limited options and functions compare to the platform of the latest website (new) that was made using Wix.

DISCUSSIONS

The result indicates the importance of having a website, which benefits the users about the needed information about the school. It also shows the need of a website in a school for the information and news that benefits the users specifically the students, faculties, stakeholders, parents, and other people who are curious and interested about the institution. The website doesn't have much fixed security that may lead to hacking and spreading of wrong information. Having security will be a huge factor to keep the website as it is and by updating it as soon as possible.
