We Get Your School Noticed Online

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur” — Red Adair

We offer a complete range of websites from the standard brochure website, custom blogs to content management systems. Through our initial meetings and website planning documents we discuss your online requirements with you and we work with you to provide a website that meets the needs of your school, staff and students.

Many parents will turn to a website as their first choice to find information about a school and by using social media we can also help by pushing important information to them using the Internet as the communication device it was designed to be.

Why DIY is bad…

There are many sites offering cheap or even free websites you can build yourself. Here are a few reasons why they may not be the best idea…

• Your schools website will look like a template site.
• The code will contain mistakes and may not show properly on every browser.
• It will not help your school stand out from the crowd and may not meet the needs of it’s users.
• Cutting corners on a professional image is never a good option.

We can help you have an affordable & professional website to let your schools website work online.

How we build our sites

For static websites we hand code our sites to ensure that every site we develop is optimised for different browsers and for understanding by the search engines. The benefits of hand coding include less code, better SEO results, easier to maintain and easier to update.

We use Wordpress as a content management system and this allows schools to easily update or add pages, add news and features and share videos and podcasts with users.

In addition we can integrate the use of social media into the website and use Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other sites to help communicate with staff, parents and students. We also offer an email newsletter solution to allow regular and personalised communications.

Training

We can offer training in the use of Wordpress either onsite or at our offices at Universal Marina in Southampton to ensure that staff can easily update the website and use the various available tools.
