School website maintenance in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets
Keep evidence that answers a real operating question
For school website maintenance, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:
Keep approved changes, source contacts, outdated pages found, access reviews, broken downloads, publication checks, and school acceptance of each maintenance batch.
An order and acceptance record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Output and exclusions | Maintain school-approved pages with named content owners, term-date checks, staff access controls, and a clear process for sensitive student-related material. |
| Sale unit | maintenance scope |
| Acceptance check | Ask school staff to verify term information, admissions contacts, downloadable forms, and restricted material, checking that obsolete announcements are clearly removed. |
| Missed-cost check | Include update collection, approval coordination, file preparation, link checking, account maintenance, and urgent corrections when schedules or staff responsibilities change unexpectedly. |
| Failure to investigate | A school site loses trust when last year's admissions dates remain prominent or personal student information appears without the institution's authorized process. |
Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.
A supplier and cost record
For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.
A weekly review
Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.
Use sources within their stated scope
- ODPC — Registration FAQs — Registration applicability, exemptions and non-exempt activities; not every small business is automatically exempt. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- ODPC — Guidance Notes for Data Protection Policies (2026) — Privacy governance reference covering access, retention, data sharing and incident response. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- Kenya Copyright Board — National Rights Registry — Official registry for copyright records; negotiate ownership and third-party licences separately. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.
The complete downloadable guide includes editable planning worksheets. Save backups privately when they contain personal, customer or supplier information. These planning forms do not replace required statutory records or professional advice for a regulated task.
Evidence register for this particular offer
- Backups — WordPress Advanced Administration - Full typical restoration needs coordinated files and database, not just content export. Recorded 2026-10-26.
- Updating WordPress - Backup and update workflow; actual site compatibility needs staging verification. Recorded 2026-10-26.
- Rights Of A Data Subject - Kenyan privacy principles and data minimisation; not a complete compliance assessment. Recorded 2026-10-26.
- Preview your content - WordPress.com page and visitor preview; actual client platform may differ. Recorded 2026-10-26.
These recorded references support only their stated scope. They do not establish current supplier stock, actual local demand, operator competence or complete commercial feasibility. Preserve source dates and record new checks separately.
Match the evidence to a decision
| Decision question | Business-specific record to retain |
|---|---|
| Was the input fit for use? | Check files for pupil identifiers or restricted contact information. |
| Was the work acceptable? | School receives changed versions, test results and unresolved issues; no claim that updates eliminate all security risk. |
| What remains unresolved? | School approval, backup restoration and actual software compatibility unverified. |
The operating pack provides an itemised quote tool, supplier request, sales draft, job card, quality response sheet, evidence gaps, operations desk and cashflow/launch-review workbook. Keep a separate private backup per actual job and per scenario. Test restoring it before closing the original. Exported files may contain customer or supplier information; do not publish completed private records as SEO content.
