Abstract
Website development activities are a growing aspect of the IT work within many organisations. However, there appears to be few methodologies or frameworks for website development currently in existence, and numerous researchers have commented that the majority of website development work appears to be done in an ad hoc manner. In this paper, a user centred website development approach is described, and a case study in a UK University department is provided to demonstrate and evaluate the approach.
