School Website Design with CMS - Green Schools Online - School Web Design
Beautiful Bespoke Websites
Bespoke design
Raise your expectations. Don't settle for a standard template with your logo stuck on. Unlike many school website providers, we create a unique & bespoke design for every school. We listen to your requirements carefully to create a beautiful design which meets your needs.
Useable, accessible, optimised websites
Over and above our support for website accessibility, we are also strong advocates of combining great design with 'usability'. As part of this, we have ensured that our websites generate 'real' page addresses, which make life easier for users of your website, and are loved by search engines.
Unrivalled support
Unlimited support by email or phone. And we mean real support by UK based individuals, not an automated ticketing system. We are here to help ensure your website is an ongoing success so we take your support very seriously.
Carbon Zero
We are a certified Carbon Zero company, meaning that all emissions generated in developing your website are offset. In addition every year we offset 1 tonne of CO2 on behalf of every customer, which is invested in a Solar Ovens in Kenya, through our carbon partner co2balance.
Website statistics
Our sites come with Google Analytics tracking code embedded and ready to use. Find out how people find your site, how many visitors you're getting, where they're coming from and which are your most popular pages.
Interactive school map
The Google interactive map, which is probably the best known online map, is a great tool for pinpointing your school's location. We'll show you how to add it, or do it for you for free.
Update your site from anywhere
Accessible to everyone regardless of experience, any authorised user can keep your website up to date using nothing more than an internet browser, from home or school, via a familiar Word-like interface.
Unlimited pages and menus
The system allows you to create unlimited pages and (unusually for a school CMS), unlimited menus. You can easily re-order menus and sub-menus, and upload thousands of files, photos and videos.
Dynamic news and events
Add a diary or news event once and watch it display across the site in the latest news or latest events boxes. We can also integrate existing calendars or setup a new calendar, controllable via the CMS.
Scheduled publishing
With scheduled publishing, you can add a document on a Friday and specify that it starts appearing on the site the following Monday, for example.
Your content, populated for you
We won't leave you staring at a blank page! We want to make the whole process as easy as possible for you, so we populate the initial content for you, up to 25 pages, which is more than enough to get you started.
Never lose a page with version control
Don’t you wish everything you did had a rewind button?
Well, we can’t help with your Friday night out, but you can change anything on your website and not worry about messing things up. So experiment!
Photo galleries & slideshows
Our animated photo galleries are just brilliant! Batch upload 100 photos in one go and sit back and watch the slideshow or view thumbnails and jump around.
Document & media library
There's a vast amount of online storage space for thousands of documents and photos. You can upload documents such as letters to parents or the school prospectus. Or why not add images and video?
Password protection & secure areas
You can password protect individual pages, or create areas which require a log in e.g. for parents, staff or Governors.
Role-based publishing
The system allows you to create new users and manage existing users, and choose whether content editors can publish directly to the internet or to a 'pending approval' area.
Interactive prospectus
We can make an Interactive Prospectus from a PDF of any existing school prospectus for £100 (for up to 20 pages). We throw one in for free with any school prospectus we design.
School-branded blog template
We can link to your own blog for FREE. Alternatively, we can setup your blog, and customise the look and feel to reflect your main website for a fee of £195.
School Twitter feed
It has a silly name, but we've found that a Twitter account, integrated into a school's website home page, is a fantastic method for building relationships with the school community. We can setup a school Twitter account and integrate it into your website for £95.
Podcasting
We'll integrate an existing podcast account for FREE. Alternatively, we can setup a podcasting account and integrate posts into your website for £95.
School Google calendar
If you already have a Google calendar, we'll integrate it into your website for FREE. Alternatively, for £100 we can set one up for you, customise the colours and integrate it into the website, so that any diary dates you add appear both on the web pages and on the Google calendar.
