Thank you for the suggestion of Greenhouse School Websites. They do seem to be quite good value. I have been phoning a few companies and fortunately they are quite candid and upfront about costs. I will contact Greenhouse and get some examples of their secondary school sites. I'd be glad to find out about any more companies that people think are very good.

I have been asked to investigate the options for outsourcing our school website. It would involve creating a new site as well as ongoing support and tweaks when needed. The content would generally be managed with a CMS. It would be good if day to day changes such as new links and standard pages etc could still be added or changed by school staff (in something like Wordpress?). We are a large secondary school. Sites such as these would be the rough sort of thing we are eventually looking for as our Head has pointed out that he particularly likes them: https://www.marlborough.oxon.sch.uk/ https://www.stags.herts.sch.uk/ We certainly wont be copying anyone else's site but these are the type of site we are looking for. Can anyone suggest how much we might need to budget for this? I will contact the companies that created them for ideas on costs but I thought I would ask other schools as well. Thank you!
