Imagine a website where a teacher can post homework as fast as they write the assignment on the blackboard. Imagine calendars you can quickly update everyday. Imagine sending anouncements and notices home via email at the same time you post them to the website. Imagine a website managed by your learning community.
We can design and build EasyManage websites for the district and schools, uniting them into an easy-to-navigate site. Our EasyManage technology, based on FirstClass, allows teachers and staff to easily update the site.
What makes us different than other web designers? Here are a the major points:
Specialize in building learning community websites
Schools, and other learning communities, have different goals for their websites than commercial businesses. While the school site should be attractive, it's more important that it be easy to navigate and full of useful information.
Follow website usability guidelines
We build websites to meet the following guidelines:
• Intuitive navigation
• Consistent look & feel
• Pages load quickly (for residents with dial-up Internet connections)
• Attractive and consistent with the character of the school
• ADA Compliant (for voice web browsers)
Build using EasyManage web page templates
Your site will be a custom graphic design to meet your objectives and theme. But to make development less expensive, we developed a number of page templates to help us build your site. The template approach reduces both design and build time because pictures, graphics, and text go in pre-defined places. By using color, pictures, different navigation buttons, and unique Home pages, we give each site a custom feel at an affordable price.
Make pages easy to edit
Building websites uing FirstClass makes it possible to edit Web pages like you edit a word processing document. We even organize pages like you organize your word processing documents, with recognizable names in logically arranged folders. Think of it as "My Documents" for your website. No special technical skill or web design software is needed.
This means that all teachers can post home-work and reference material to their own page; the school lunch director can post and update lunch menus; the athletic director can post sports schedules, make-up schedules and results, all with ease of filling out a form or sending an email. Our Websites are designed to speak to all members of the school community.
