School Website & Communication Platform
Superior Website for Your School
At Legend Web Works, we are very proud to have created high-quality websites for school districts all over the United States. Your school website is a unique genre of website. If you want the best results, you need a company that has experience building sites for schools.
For school websites, parents, students, teachers, and administrators need to quickly be able to find relevant information and quickly distribute resources. Our school sites offer responsive designs that anyone can use. This makes it easy for parents to find information like event schedules and calendars, news and announcements, registration and enrollment forms, online payment forms, and more!
Our feature-rich websites offer school districts and communication directors the ability to edit their websites 24/7 from any device, including their cell phones.
School Website Platform Features:
Banner Alerts
From opening Kindergarten registration to snow days, some messages need to be prioritized. With banner alerts, you can display important information at the top of every webpage to ensure that everyone sees it when they are on site.
Dark Site
Emergencies can strike unexpectedly, and ensuring everyone is informed can be challenging. Our dark site feature enables you to swiftly shut down all pages of your website except for a dedicated news feed. This ensures that all visitors to your site receive up-to-date information from you in real-time.
E-Commerce
Bring your school spirit shop online! From selling t-shirts to mugs, your online store can sell for you 24/7 and generate funds for your school and boosters without the need for more volunteers to have to operate a storefront during school hours.
Registration & Enrollment Forms
In today's fast-paced world, everyone seeks information at their fingertips, and that includes forms. Whether you're selling tickets to the school dance, organizing a raffle, or managing registration and enrollment, our online form builder is designed to streamline the process. Say goodbye to paper forms and consolidate all your information in one convenient location.
ADA Accessibility
Your district families have diverse needs, including how they access information. We've collaborated with the Department of Education to ensure our software stays current with ADA guidelines, meeting the standards for website functionality. To enhance accessibility further, we provide an ADA Tool that enables users to customize the website, ensuring they can access information in a manner that best suits their preferences.
Online Payments
Whether it's collecting school fees or field trip money, now you can conveniently collect payments online. Say goodbye to waiting for checks or cash—get paid 24/7 and minimize the risk of funds not being collected or going missing in a student's backpack.
Page Administration
School websites contain a wealth of information, but it's crucial to control who can edit what. With our platform, you can establish page rules, allowing users to only edit specific pages as designated. This helps minimize the risk of important information going missing or being altered unintentionally.
Events
Whether it's a PTO meeting or a choir concert, there's always something happening at different buildings within your school. Our software includes event management tools, or we can seamlessly integrate your existing calendar software, such as CalendarWiz, to help you stay organized and informed about upcoming events.
Absence Forms
Reduce morning phone calls and voicemails by allowing parents to fill out an attendance form online. Customize the form to allow parents to fill it out for multiple children and schools simultaneously and get the information in one place to get information to necessary staff quickly.
News & Announcements
Communication Directors have a job to do and we have made sure that you can get news and announcements out as efficiently as possible. From scheduling message releases to putting messages on multiple school pages or the district home page at the same time, our team has created tools to help you reach parents as efficiently as possible.
School Website Co-op Benefits
When you build your site with Legend Web Works, you gain the advantage of features designed by communications directors who use our software daily. We're committed to being your website partner and empowering your district to communicate effectively with your community.
That's why we developed our school website platform as a cooperative effort. You benefit from schools working together to enhance the platform continuously. As other districts introduce new features, you'll have the opportunity to incorporate them over time, ensuring your website remains innovative and responsive to evolving needs.
Benefits Include:
Free Training
We understand the importance of being able to use your tools. Whether you need a quick refresh on how to use a feature or you have a group of new website administrators that need to be trained, our support team is here to make sure you always know how to edit your site and you will never be charged.
Free Support
Your website needs to continue to evolve - from updating content like your staff directory to new categories or merging buildings, you will never be charged for any work as long as it takes our team less than two hours to complete the work. We are here to make your job easier and not have to worry about getting another purchase order for simple changes.
Discounted Rates
For extensive projects requiring the development of new features or functionality exceeding two hours, we extend discounted rates to our school districts. We provide project quotes to facilitate proper purchase order arrangements, offering a 50% discount off our standard development rates.
Rebuild Every 4 Years
As technology evolves and design preferences shift, we recognize the need for periodic updates. That's why we've integrated the cost of rebuilding your site every 4 years into our program. This includes the option for a complete design overhaul if desired. Our goal is to ensure your website remains modern, functional, and compliant with evolving standards.
Cincinnati Business Advertising Program
For districts in the Cincinnati and Dayton area, we offer an advertising program. This program allows schools to receive discounted website costs in exchange for allowing dedicated space for your local businesses to advertise on your website.
If your district is looking to cut technology costs, this may help you receive your website for little to no cost based on the sponsorships we can work for the district.
Are Sponsors Right For You?
We work with each district on an individual basis to determine if the program is right for you. We look at a variety of metrics including:
- District population
- How many businesses are based in your district
- How often your district levies are supported
- Do businesses support your district overall?
All of this information helps give us the information needed to know whether we believe we can successfully find businesses to help sponsor the website.
