Properly constructed websites are information systems. To provide visitors with insight and knowledge, they efficiently structure content. In order to better understand why your school needs a website, it is helpful to look at what goals websites achieve:
According to one recent study, 97 percent of consumers research services or products in their area before making a buying decision. This should make it clear to you that every organization and business needs a website in the 21st century. Without one, you are alienating 97 percent of your prospective students. In addition to simply having a site, it must be informative and well-designed, since it will be seen as a reflection of the quality of the school. For the parents of many of your students, your website will be the first impression they get of your school.
Parental involvement is essential to a student’s success in school, and school websites are the perfect tool for engaging parents. The website provides an outlet for parents to provide feedback to the school and to teachers. In addition, parents can also become more informed about their child’s education. By providing parents with an online calendar of upcoming activities and exams and resources that give tips for helping their children, barriers to parental involvement are removed. This enhances the learning experience. The website is also a valuable tool for teachers to share ideas with one another. And, externally, it can connect the school with the community as a whole building links between families, schools, and businesses. In this way, the website becomes an important resource for families relocating to the area.
By now, if you are a decision maker at a school, you should be convinced that a professional website is essential for your school’s success. But, how do you go about it? There are a number of free or extremely cheap web design templates online, but you get what you pay for with these. None are specifically created for schools, and therefore, your site would give off an unprofessional aura.
The best solution for schools at this time is to hire a professional school web design team such as Lemongrass Media. We can ensure your website is a powerful tool that can achieve all of the goals mentioned above. In addition, they can make the site optimized for search engines, so it will rank well in search results when people Google schools in your area.
