How We Work...
We believe that commissioning a new school website should be an exciting time! It does not need to be as complex or time consuming as you imagine - as a specialist school website design company, we aim to keep the process as simple as possible.
All of our schools are given a dedicated account manager who remains with them from the very beginning. They will hold an in-depth design brief at your school and are dedicated to ensuring the process runs as smoothly as possible. They take the time to get to know you, to understand what you need and to make sure that is exactly what you get.
We also have some of the best school website designers and developers around, who keep abreast of new developments. This means you can relax and be sure that we will guide you in the right direction to make sure your new school website is future-proofed for the years ahead.
In short, our experienced team will ensure that your new school website looks amazing, does everything you need, and is live on time and within budget all without giving you a headache...
A Whole New Level of Support....
Our approach to client support and relationships is a little different to most - we are only a small team (there are about 35 of us) and we all love helping our schools to get the best out of their new website.
Once your school website goes live and you have been trained on the CMS system you will have 3 months of full support to ensure you get off to the best possible start. We will give you details of your dedicated support person who is always on the end of the phone to help and guide you whether it's on technical aspects of the site or any new developments you might like to explore.
We are here to support you through the whole process and beyond. Our relationships with our schools typically last for years and grow to incorporate all aspects of their branding and digital marketing.
Once you have your amazing new website up and live you need people to be able to find it and that's where search engine optimisation comes into play. To ensure your school site is ranking highly in the search engines it needs to be optimised correctly. All of our sites are built with SEO in mind from the start but we are also able to offer ongoing packages once the site is live. We are also able to register, manage and renew domains for your new site - we can even help you come up with something catchy! Why not book a meeting or give us a call to discuss how we can help you stand out from the crowd.
