The Importance of a Modern School Website

Let's say you're searching for something online. Maybe it's a delicious Lasagna Bolognese recipe. Or maybe, if you're my wife, you're searching for a pair of shoes you don't need. Whatever it may be, chances are, you are going to end up on some sort of website. Whether you know it or not, the way that website looks has a lot to do with how you will interact with it. It determines how much time you spend there, which pages you visit, if you are going to buy one of their products, and much more. 

What on earth does that have to do with me or [insert school name here]? I'm glad you asked! I would be willing to bet the first thing one does when considering enrollment for your wonderful educational institution, would be to Google (or whatever search engine they might prefer) the name of your school or district. Hopefully, they come across your website at the very top of the page—and they click on through. The more intuitive and, let's just say, fancy your website is, the more likely parents will be excited about the idea of sending their children there. Now, obviously this might not always be the case. But I seem to remember more than a few teachers telling me it is best to always be prepared.

So, that's why we are so excited to announce our newest product. I'm sure you can guess what that might be. Our new website product is designed to give schools a modern and intuitive website that is easy to maintain and even easier to look at. A few things you can expect are:

  • Ease of use for administrators
  • Consistent messages across all communication channels
  • One single-content management system (CMS) to manage all digital communication needs
  • Easy-to-use drag and drop templates
  • Clean, modern website design

We wanted educators to hold the power of their website. With a website by SchoolInfo, administrators can quickly and easily make changes to any and all aspects of their website—without relying on third parties, freelancers, or that one IT guy who seems to never have time for you. Interested in seeing a demo or learning a bit more about a new website? Check us out, we'd love to tell you all about it.
