Sharepoint for school website?

[dirtydog]

Hi

Has anyone used Sharepoint for thier school website? We currently use it for all our intranet and departmental sites but are looking to use it for a CMS website.

Does anyone know of any companies that will design us a new site in sharepoint if we dont do it in house (as its a pain to get looking nice)?

Also, any idea of cost for someone to do us a new site using another CMS if we put all the content in ourselves - we are just looking for a design/framework setting up.

 

Thanks for any help!

I don't know of anyone who has. Really sharepoint isn't designed for this, its more of an Intranet/Portal.

Sharepoint works perfectly well as a public website.

 

Here is one of the schools in our federation who uses it. I think it's a work in progress so everything might not work

We will be going down the same road soon ourselves.
