Green Schools Online - Sustainable websites for schools

Your new website in 3 easy steps!

1 Call us to discuss your design preferences

2 Provide any content, logos or images

3 Review your new website

Depending on your experience it can all seem a bit intimidating. Don't panic - we are ready to help! It's all part of the service.

  • Would you like an "arty" site, a business style or maybe a fun style website? Would you like a 1,2 or 3 column layout? Do you have a colour scheme in mind such as from an existing logo? Who in the school do you wish to be able to update the content?
  • Content could be from an existing website, school prospectus or even your SEF. Other sources include the school diary, newsletters or other school documents.
  • We will complete the design for your review and populate your site with your content for you. Finally we will make your site live.

Beautiful Designs

Coloured pencilsWe listen to your requirements carefully and strive to create the simplest, clearest design that meets your needs. One that you can be proud of as it projects the essence of your school to both prospective & current staff, pupils and parents.

Simple to use

Teacher at computerDesigned specifically for schools, we have chosen the simplest, most intuitive design for our content system to help make it accessible to everyone regardless of experience. To make it even easier, we have provided help text at every decision point to help guide you through. Written and video user guides are also available to download.

Environmentally friendly

Sunflower on a blue skyWe take great care to ensure all our activities and those of our suppliers have a minimal impact on the environment. Every year, for every customer, we offset 1 tonne of CO2 through our carbon partner co2balance. One tonne of CO2 is enough to offset not just your web server emissions for a year but also to offset the emissions from an average classroom for 6 months. One tree takes its whole life (50-80 years) to offset just under a tonne. We'll do that every year. Please see our Ethical Policy for details.
