School / College Sector Sites
This is a sector where first impressions make a real difference, both for the potential student and for their parents.
Following several succesful projects, we have gained a real understanding with regard to what a school site needs to be succesful...
Easy for different users to maintain..
This type of site is likely to have multiple users involved in updating from different areas of school life such as individual teaching departments.
Each user has their own account and all pages that are available for edit, feature the same easy to use text editor to allow for quick updates.
We use a comprehensive access rights system to ensure that administrators only get access to the areas of the site which they are responsible for editing. This can be configured on a page, category or section basis for each user.
Latest school news can be displayed automatically on the front page to ensure that everyone is up to date with current information.
Extensive use of imagery and video..
By using multiple images from as many different areas of school life as possible, we aim to create a true replication of what the school can offer. New galleries can be easily uploaded at any point whenever a new event occurs.
Using multimedia resources is also a good way to get students interested in contributing to the school website.
Videos can also be embedded into any part of our websites along with virtual tours of a school site.
Before using any student imagery on a site, we verify that the relevant permissions have been obtained for the media to be used.
Existing Pupil/Parent Interaction..
A school website is as equally important for existing students as for new ones. We can buid a variety of features into our sites such as secure pupil or parent areas where they can logon and download or upload private information such as study guides or reports.
