Opplet Web
Opplet Web is both (a) the network of #The websites that CNMCyber Team (hereinafter, #We) takes care of and (b) #Endeavors to build that network. Technologically, #The websites are a part of the platform called #Opplet. Opplet DNS redirects to this wikipage.
Purpose
#Marketing and #Learning are two equally-important objectives.
Marketing
- #The websites shall generate:
- Enrollment of students for the #Educaship and #WiseNxt products;
- Recruitment of Educaship partners and CNMCyber volunteers;
- Sales of the #Careerprise and #AINurtz products.
- Each of #The websites shall play its role in Careerprise Funnel. The #Target section of this wikipage describes such roles.
Learning
- #The websites shall serve as workspace for the individuals engaging in job-alike practice as a part of #Educaship and #Careerprise programs. Because of this objective, #We would like to consider a wide variety of #COTS packages.
Taskforce
#We would like to build #The websites and are identifying the pathways to do so. #Taskforce approach and #Sequence of projects are two primary assumptions so far.
Team diversity
- #We consider a combination of experts and, because of our #Learning purpose, newbie students to work on website projects:
Roles
- When hiring, review candidates' portfolios, check references, and conduct interviews to assess their skills and fit for your project. Additionally, consider working with freelancers, agencies, or outsourcing firms based on your budget and project requirements.
- Web Designer:
- Look for a designer with a strong portfolio and experience in web design.
- Assess their creativity, attention to detail, and understanding of user experience principles.
- Web Developer:

- Look for candidates with relevant experience and a solid understanding of web development best practices.

Recruitment
- With regards to the recruitment, #We plan the following:
- Manager search. We would like to try to find the manager first. Working knowledge of website development (not just and, possibly, not "web development" at all) and productive project management skills are essential for the manager role. If we fail to recruit a new project manager, we would consider assigning the manager role to one of our team members.
- Staffers' search. The manager should lead our search for non-managerial staffers listed in #Roles.
- Student recruitment. When the WiseNxt project takes off, it shall produce a number of students that can join our staffers as apprentices.
