Project Website on Company Intranet

We created a new site on Google Sites with the name of the project and choosing a good theme. On Home Page I inserted a Table with one row and two columns. On left side column I entered the Project Code, Project Duration and the name of the Client and on right side column the names of Project Team Members.

Below the table I copied the Objectives.

Then we created following pages under Home:

Name of the Page	Template used
Announcements	Announcements
Discussion Board	Announcements
Feedback Room	Web Page
File Cabinet	File cabinet
News	Announcements
Planner	Web Page
Task Monitor	Web Page
Time Sheet	Web Page
Travel Expense Record	Web Page

In the Planner page we inserted the Project Calendar made in Google Calendar. In File Cabinet we uploaded the project related file. In Task Monitor a Task List was created for various Project Members. In Time Sheet and Travel Expenses Record we inserted Google Spreadsheet Forms. On Discussion Board, Feedback Room pages instructions were written about how to use those features. In Feedback Room sub-pages were made i.e. one each for a member of the Project Team.

Then the Project Manager wrote a brief about the launch of the site on Announcement page.

I inserted 'Recent Posts' Gadget on the Home Page for Announcement and same Gadget on News page for Discussion Board. I also added Recent Site Activity in the Left Side Bar.

Finally the Project Manager sent the invitation to all Project Members as Collaborators and some other company personnel as Viewers.

Two members of the Project Team were outside the company's domain. Instructions were sent to them about how to access the site through their Google Accounts.

When the users began using the site we found that the timestamps on their post did not indicate our time. After searching on Google Sites Help Forums I found that users have to set their time-zone in their Google Sites account through 'My sites/User_settings.
