box_l Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 The mustard Agency schoolwebsite.co.uk I have been asked to find out a bit more on these two companies regarding their school website provisions. Does anyone have and good or bad points about either, or can you recommend an alternative. The school does not wish to use internal resources to build the site however we can host it. Many thanks BoX
fairm010 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 We use schoolwebsite.co.uk for our site. They built it and host it and we have never had a problem. The site is very nice looking. I'd link to it but sods law is its down at the moment as we transfer domain name registrars! Let me know if you want to see it. Matt
box_l Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Would love to! Thanks for the offer. Maybe pm me the ip? BoX
tekins Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Have seen a few made by schoolwebsite, not heard of any problems. Could also look at e4education.co.uk, they designed one for a local academy.
fairm010 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Would love to! Thanks for the offer. Maybe pm me the ip? BoX Dont have the IP to hand, as soon as it's up i'll let you know.
mdench Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Ours is designed by e4education they revamped our site this year and looks very nice!
box_l Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks all, will check out e4education too.
mrbios Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 As it happens we had a guy from schoolwebsite come and have a meeting with us today to talk us through what they could offer us. Very very impressed with their CMS and what they had to offer. Time will tell as to whether we go down that path but it's safe to say he impressed our head.....and that's not an easy feat!
rad Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Check out cleverbox.co.uk we changed to them last October, very happy so far. CMS is different to SW and E4 as you don't edit on the page, I did a trial of all sites CMS and this one is easy for admin staff to use as well as yourself. We got them to do our photography, prospectus and website. They also did our company profile so all documents are set to x colour and style. Our school design is unique and they are happy to do whatever you want.
box_l Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks to everyone for their input, I believe that the school have chosen schoolwebsite.co.uk. The guy that came down to present their product was excellent. The CMS was very slick too. BoX
Lorfarius Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I've phoned a few of the suggested ones but they all seem to be about £5/6k a time. Not really useful when you are a small school with a typical small budget! Can anyone recommend anyone else?
sonofsanta Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Those of you who use e4education, schoolwebsite and other education focused providers: how does your website hold up when it's a snow day? Our current (inept) provider struggles every year, on the one day when everyone is wanting to check the website, and I'm sick of dealing with it. I want to be sure that any company focusing on schools - thus dealing with a spike in traffic from every customer - doesn't result in collapsing websites.
mrbios Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I'd quite like to know the answer to that too, we went with e4education and our new website should be finished within the month as far as im aware, hope the experience is a good one!
ataylor Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Bit of a resurection to an old thread, we just had e4education in today. How are you guys getting on with them?
