Does the COSMO website need to be redesigned??
If “YES” what could be the starting point for that??
 Do we need a more dynamical website? What will be the structure of the site?
 Identify the most accessed information from the actual website and (maybe) redefine the target users
 The website is based on html, js, css. Do we need other web technologies? (php, sql,asp…)
 What could be the costs? (FTE’s)
If “NOT” what should be improved??
 Identify some web pages that we don’t need anymore
 Create new menus/submenus for some scientific purposes
 Re-design only the home webpage, but keep the same structure
 Increase the communication within the consortium => web pages updated in time
