      Woodlands-Junior Kent is a website that was created by Mandy Barrow started this school website approximately ten years ago and is an ICT consultant for Kent. Although she started the website ten years ago she claims to spend an hour every evening working on it and improving it. The website is fairly easy to navigate but the design of it is slightly outdated. The information on the website is short but informational. The information on Britain’s jobs and economy isn’t huge. She has the cost of some things posted which gives you a feel for what the economy would have been like. Mandy is also a teacher which makes her website quite credible. Overall the website is best and is targeted at a younger age.
