We can create individual websites, update your existing one or we have a selection of custom built website packages that have been designed with the help of local schools and businesses. We can even design a one or two page website that can be used at home – this is a great way to share your latest photos with your family and friends!
Here is an example of a recent initiative which was offered to local schools:
SchoolSite has an innovative design that allows staff (or even pupils) to take control of your website content using the latest technology. It is database driven which means that your text, documents, photos and even examples of your pupil’s work can be added, updated or deleted – all in a few clicks!
It has a password protected Content Management System (CMS) and the design complies with the latest Government and W3C standards and is compatible with LEA servers.
Support and training is included in the SchoolSite package, so you don’t have to worry about any problems or queries after your website goes live.
The following sections are included in the standard package cost.
Homepage with school logo or picture
About our School

News & Events
Gallery (to showcase school photos or pupils’ work)
Downloads (users can download forms or reports)

The cost for this website includes an initial set-up fee, plus a quarterly charge for the database hosting, Content Management System and technical and telephone support on demand.
We can add further information or sections as requested at an additional cost.
