Who Builds It & Who Updates It?
We do. You’re busy working in class and that’s how it should be.
We build your site, add your logo (or if you don’t yet have one we have hundreds of stock logos), customise the colour scheme, add all of your content, images, text etc. so you end up with a website that’s uniquely your own.
When you need updates, just send them to us via this page and we’ll add them to your site. There are no limits on the number of updates you can send us.
Do I Have To Have Those Menu Headings?
Absolutely not, you can have whatever you like: About Us, School Policies, Gallery, Events etc.
Am I Tied To A Contract?
No. Our packages are simple rolling monthly agreements that you can cancel at any time. If you decide to cancel, the site will terminate and we’ll return your domain name to you if you provided it originally. If you wish to retain a domain name that we supplied you with, all we ask is if cancellation is within the first 6 months, you pay £25 + Vat fee for the domain. After 6 months you can take it free of charge.
How Do I Pay?
Payment is by monthly invoice. If you’d prefer a different payment method please contact us.
I Already Have A Domain Name, Can I Use That?
Absolutely, just change your nameservers to ours when your new website is ready and you’re up and running.
I Already Have A Website, Can I Switch To You?
Absolutely. Maybe you’re paying too much or just unhappy with your current web designers? Whatever the reason, you can simply switch to us. Choose a totally new design or keep it looking similar, it’s entirely up to you.
Will My Site Work With Search Engines And Mobile Devices?
Yes. All of our sites are SEO friendly which helps you get ranked in Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. Plus, they are fully ‘responsive’ which means they work across all platforms from mobile phones, iPads, tablets and notebooks to desktop PCs and in both portrait AND landscape formats.
Who Owns The Site And Domain Name?
You retain ownership and any applicable IP to photos, logos etc. that you supplied, and as we’re a website ‘rental’ platform we retain ownership of the web site. If you decide to cancel, the site will terminate and we’ll return your domain name to you if you provided it originally. If you wish to retain a domain name that we supplied you with, all we ask is if cancellation is within the first 6 months, you pay £25 + Vat fee for the domain. After 6 months you can take it free of charge.
Can I Switch Layouts?
If you decide you want to change to another theme (layout) from our selection at https://websites-for-schools.co.uk/websites/, we include one layout change (if required) per year, i.e. after each 12 months rental. Further major layout changes over and above that will incur a further cost.
Will My Site Be Secure?
Absolutely. All sites are secured with 2 step authentication and an SSL certificate which is the padlock you see in the browser. In addition, we take care of all software and security updates.
How Do I Pay?
Payments are made monthly by invoice. If you prefer to pay by any other method please contact us.
How Do I Get Started?
Simply choose a website and then go and sign up. Once we have your order, we’ll contact you to arrange your site build. Prior to that, if you’re unsure or have any questions at all, please contact us, we’re here to help.
How Long Will It Take To Build?
It depends on the size of the site but on average we complete new sites in 10-15 working days.
Do You Offer Any Other Services?
Yes, we offer search engine optimisation, social media marketing, Google Ads management, blog writing, email marketing and a full range of printing services. If you’re interested in any of these please contact us.
