Project Brief: Website & content management
We were contacted by the headteacher who had seen examples of other school website systems we had built for other schools and together with Furneux Pelham’s Business Development Manager we worked through the requirements for a new website with emphasis on structuring class pages and related information.
Website before:
The new website system includes features such as:
- Facility for a tiered level of admin access to the website; for example, a main administrator who has control over all areas of the website then class admins to update class pages and upload images, photos, PDF files, media files etc to their specific class pages only.
- A calendar of school events that can be downloaded/synchronised with parents/staff mobile devices such as iPhone or Android devices.
- Responsive website technology for optimal viewing across a variety of mobile devices, including iPads, Android tablets and automatic re-sizing of page content and layout on laptops and desktop computers with different screen sizes.
- Stat counters for “house” or “class” points over a school term.
- Media galleries to upload photos, create photo galleries and video/PowerPoint presentations.
- Organised media directories for school newsletters, parent documents, school policy documents, curriculum documents, etc.
- Facility for schoolteachers and support staff to create blog posts about school events, school trips, extracurricular activities and more!
- Option for school staff to manage their own website content with an easy-to-use website editing interface to format fonts, headings, add images and links, etc.
“IceStar Media have created a wonderful new website for our school. They have been so responsive throughout and have been extremely accommodating of our (very fussy) requests. We have been delighted with the service they have provided so far and have been made to feel that every problem can be sorted quickly and efficiently. Seran provided friendly and very supportive care for us as customers, throughout. I would recommend them unreservedly.”
