Moodle - any services to build and design a local setup?

[craynerd]

We have had our moodle hosted externally for many years now but the site needs a full rebuild and a fresh start. Its a large school with 6th form and so the need for a good VLE that fits in with the school image is important. Although our external hosts did the full setup, design and updates when needed for the many years we have been with them, it seems a lot of money for the limited service when it could be managed internally.

 

Do you know of any companies that will build, design and customise an internal hosted moodle VLE for a fixed price and then leave it with us to manage. We would of course then call up for additional work as and when it is needed.

 

We now use lots of different services, online outlook email, MIS system, Vivo, ShowMyHomework.. etc so as well as using the VLE for the setting of tasks and functionality it has, we also would like to use it as a main navigation to the different portals with single sign in where possible.

 

I`m interested in any information. Perhaps even examples of such VLE`s in operation or alternatives to moodle if appropriate. Of course information on anywhere that can provide such as service would be good.
