Website development has improved user engagement in records management. Due to the
transformation from brick and motor system to the digital management of records through
websites, it is easy for the records manager to create a good rapport with records users
who can provide feedback on the records management system. This helps in the easy
identification of loopholes and solutions for the proper records management. Websites
also have no timelimits like physical management. This is whereby records users can use

A WEBSITE IS ALWAYS ACCESABLE It should be noted that a website is open 24


hours a day, 365 days a year. You can provide both regular and prospective customers the
convenience of reviewing your products and services when your store or office is closed in
records officers Not only that, with so many interactive features and add-ons available,
visitors to your website can contact you, sign up for your courses, schedule appointments
and even purchase directly to the records through your website even when you’re away
from your desk or after closing . A WEBSITE SAVES YOU TIME It should be noted that
Saving time is another great reason why records officers needs a professional website.
Time is an important commodity in our ever increasing fast paced world even if you don’t
attach a monetary value to it. Most people these days don’t have enough time for leisure,
pleasure, family or healthy activities. Having a professionally designed website saves you
time both in the short and long term. In the records work
Even if you have a big collection presence, another reason, and probably the most important
reason why your organisation needs a professional website, is so that you actually own or at least
pay lower rent for your online space.

Web design refers to the design of websites that are displayed on the internet. It usually
refers to the user experience aspects of website development rather than software
development. Web design used to be focused on designing websites for desktop browsers
A web designer works on the appearance, layout, and, in some cases, content of a website.
Appearance, for instance, relates to the colors, font, and images used. Layout refers to how
information is structured and categorized. A good web design is easy to use, aesthetically
pleasing, and suits the user group and brand of the website. Many web pages are designed
with a focus on simplicity, so that no extraneous information and functionality that might
distract or confuse users appears. As the keystone of a web designer’s output is a site that
wins and fosters the trust of the target audience, removing as many potential points of user
frustration as possible is a critical consideration. The following are the importance of
website development in records management A website development tool provides
companies with a podium for this necessary web presence and allows them to get in touch
with records of web surfers all over the world, widening the range of their potential
customers.. It also gives records managers the chance to portray themselves in the ways
they want to be seen, with a platform that's built on their terms and can effectively market
the services or products that they offer. In addition, a website will make businesses look
more reliable if they're represented in a professional way. To develop a website in
accordance with specific criteria, the business can either hire a developer or do it
themselves by choosing from the best web development software, which will assist in
creating polished websites. When your audience visits your website, it gives them their
first impression of your records They will judge you records within seconds. In these first
few seconds, you want to make a positive impact on your audience. If your website looks
unappealing or outdated, your audience will immediately have a negative impression of
your records. They won’t find your website appealing, which deters them from your page.
You’ll miss out on leads because they’ll leave your page for a competitor’s page. It builds
trust to the records users People don’t trust poorly designed websites. If they see your poor
design or the information looks outdated, they won’t trust your site. They may view your
site as seedy or shady because you don’t have an updated web design. On the other hand, a
professional site signals trust with your audience. They will trust your business and feel
comfortable checking it out further. It’s important to build trust with your audience so they
remain on your site. When visitors remain Communication with record users Interacting
with your audience is vital when it comes to generating more businesses. By
communicating with the audience you can deeply understand the needs of the customers
and afterwards you can design your product/services in a manner that fulfills the
requirement of your audience. Accessibility to records If you come up with a business
idea, and you are only thinking about to make that business/idea in a physical equivalent
[like a office] which is soon gonna help you to grow your business. Then you are wrong.
You might catch audience throughout the day when you being present at there. Content
The content of your site is important for reasons besides the fact that it literally
communicates your company’s brand position and promise. There are other very
important elements that are considered when a copywriter creates the content and the
designer creates the complementary visual environment for the content. Making the
message short and to the point, yet warm and welcoming (depending on the industry)
helps the reader to remember the message easier. Also, when there is too much text on a
page, the page becomes visually cluttered making it more difficult for a reader to
physically read the page, let alone remain interested in reading the page. Trust in records
management Building trust among records users is extremely important, but will not
happen unless you really get to know them and what they value. Marketing tactics can act
as a dialogue with potential customers, which will be a great way to discover more about
your clientele’s needs. By strengthening dialogue with customers, you can implement
what positively resonates with them in your new design. By making your website look
more welcoming and trustworthy to visitors, you will see the traffic to your website
increase, and an improvement in new business leads through website conversion. Website
development is paramount because it helps in the Working of the Semantic Web in
Managing Records in Organisations.

Website presence enables content such as texts, images, and videos to be displayed on the
internet. There are many reasons why records manager need a representative website: to
inform potential records users about the Information and content, to represent the
company. To enable contact with different records departments in a given Organization, or
to distribute goods online. For private users, a website gives Records officers a chance to
actively take part in public affairs. There are also personal sites that contain informative
material or are used for entertainment.

one else’s—you have the control. This applies to records management information cannot
be altered in any form AND Your website can be one of many marketing tools to help
bring in new clients. Having a website alone with no other marketing isn’t going to
increase sales, but having a social media presence to bring people to your website is a
good step.

According to Mimi Dionne, a certified Records Manager, Archivist, Document Imaging


Architect,Information Professional, and a Project Management Professional, in website
technology, provided there is an internet connection, the parties may sign uploaded
templates anytime and anywhere. Once these documents are signed, a unique record is
created. The website stores these records in its cloud on behalf of the client for a set
amount of time. It is in the client’s best interest to dictate to the website that its documents
should be stored not more than 30 days in the cloud which is just long enough for the
Records Management team to pull completed documents from the website and declare
them as records into their organization forexample Makerere University’s own repository.

without coming physically to Makerere University to make reach and they just go on
websitevto search the information they want
20:11 RITAH:

A website works twenty four seven therefore it does not close. This enables makerere
university students to access the website when they are home at anytime like results in
case they are out.
20:16 Vicent:

Graphical user interface; Web browsers provide a common, easy to use GUI that can be
used to access many things, including a database say for RAM in Makerere University.
Having a common interface also reduces training costs for end users.

Website is always an available resource which can be accessible during anytime a record
has interest. With website more than one activities can be conducted ie, a record officer
can ask a question and get information about that. Record officers can make a payment
using a purchasing website ie, can purchase files, receipt and those receipts are records.

Makerere website and the community colleges are considered as significant organizations
which deal with a big number of academic and administrative staff. The Ugandan
government takes the best efforts to pay attention to the universities and community
colleges in order to help developing the country (Moe Report, 2005).
10:36 sadat:

Taking Makerere University as a case study, University records are identified because of
their content, not their format. A University record is evidence of an action or activity
undertaken by a member of the University community about or on behalf of, the
University for Example Registration of university students. A University record is not
necessarily a physical document but may also be in the form of an electronic format for
example web content. The following therefore are the different reasons that justify why it
is viable to apply websites in the records management function. Websites provide a
platform for capturing records of an organization for example through registration of
organization stake holders. For example makerere university uses the students portal ie
https://student.mak.ac.ug/portal-1.7/?cache to capture details about different students
admitted at the university which is a great records management function because it
accelerates the records creation function of records management. Websites provide an
online records storage area for different organizations. Makerere university uses websites
to store student research projects for example Mak UD ie http://dissertations.mak.ac.ug
which is a collection of undergraduate theses and dissertations/undergraduate research
project reports and field reports submitted as a requirement for the award of undergraduate
degrees of Makerere University and Makerere University Institutional Repository (Mak
IR), formerly called Uganda Scholarly Digital Library (USDL) is found at
http://makir.mak.ac.ug Mak IR is a collection of scholarly output of by researchers of
Makerere University, including scholarly articles and books, post-graduate electronic
theses and dissertations, conference proceedings, technical reports and digitised library
collections. It is the official Institutional Repository (IR) of Makerere University.
Therefore websites help in the storage of records which is a great records management
function. Websites accelerate easy retrieval of contents kept on them in case the
information is needed by any person either within or outside the organization. While using
websites, someone can access information needed minus moving to the registry to pick it
in case that person is authorized to access such information he/she needs. This task can be
completed by the search icon found on the website where the information is located.

Websites like makerere web allow students to be granted the credit points allocated to a
module upon provision of adequate evidence that all module requirements have been
fulfilled(Falchikov,2009). Therefore, a learner will be awarded the credit points assigned
to a module when sufficient evidence is provided that all module requirements have been
satisfied.

Records and information need to be managed and retained: for ongoing business use; for
legal purposes; as evidence; and for historical and cultural purposes. Just like paper and
digital files, websites support the current and future activities of the organisation. If
websites are valued as records and for the information they contain, capturing, managing
and retrieving that information for as long as it is needed is a powerful and positive
contribution to management of all of the essential records and information.

Because the web provides access to up-to-date information, often websites are regularly
updated and are constantly evolving. This is one of the web’s great strengths, but also
means that information supplied this way can sometimes be viewed as ephemeral in nature
and as having little or no ongoing value. This means that it can be lost before being
captured as evidence, for business or historical purposes.

Websites assist in generation of information and evaluation of the portfolio. I.e, In higher
Professional Education, students might be using several portfolios including numerous
evidence records, these portfolios are used for generating information on a daily basis.
Nevertheless, it's crucial to have accurate and reliable information for the purpose of
evaluating and decision making. According to Seldin (2010), evaluation is a methodical
approach which facilitates collecting and evaluating evidence about the accomplishments
of an individual with regards to specific learning outcomes, for determining whether the
individual has exhibited proficiency.

I'm conclusion, Records are important for providing evidence.However, records are only
valuable if they are accessible and available at any time needed just like the makerere
website. In HPE, there are many records generated periodically and needs to be managed
effectively and efficiently in order to increase the performance of the education as well as
records management businesses.
