School Websites
Websitemasters love doing school website projects!
Based on our extensive experience of working with schools in Perth, Western Australia and now in California, USA developing custom made websites, we understand how important it is to have a modern look and functionality and what a useful tool it can become, if done properly.
With rapidly increasing usage of tablets and mobiles, and bearing in mind that parents will often access their school website on the go, it quickly becomes important to give them equally great experience no matter which device they use to view the website.
We offer
- Flexibility – you are not talked into one design concept. If you don't like it, we will brainstorm and propose more until you are happy.
- Modular approach – you only pay for the features and functionality that you need, and can easily add more to your site later.
- Full cycle service – we deliver the fully functional website. We can also host your website at our secure database centre and provide ongoing support and maintenance including search engine optimisation (SEO) and advertising.
- End-users empowerment – your new website will have a powerful Content Management System (CMS). We will provide all necessary documentation and train up the administrators. Every teacher in the school will be able to use it in their day to day work, manage content and even send newsletters.
- Quick turnaround - the first design concept will be presented within a week, and normally you can have the site up and running in about four weeks’ time.
- The last but not the least is our affordable pricing structure. Even more, we take 10% off all website design and development quotes to primary and high schools.
