School Websites

 

Will a beautiful optimized template design meet your needs?

 

Sometimes schools think their websites need to include everything but the kitchen sink, and they assume they need a bigger budget than they do. At Alefsites, we want to help you keep things real. Since so many schools have similar functionality requirements, we have been able to create a flexible template that gets the job done in style.

 

An Alefsites optimized template allows you to:

  • Choose from over 20 elements that make your site look and feel unique—without blowing the budget.

  • Get the powerful functionality of big custom sites.

  • Get up and running on a short timeline.

 

With an Alefsites template, you choose the design option, fill out a few forms, provide us your logo and color palette, and we build your website for you. All you have to do is populate your new site with your copy and photos.

 

 

Do you need a  custom website?

 

We have worked with schools all over the country and have found that the answers to the following questions help decision-makers choose between developing a custom site and using a multi-purpose template.

  • Is your school in a high population area with several independent school options? More competition requires maximum differentiation.

  • Is your school the only Jewish school in your area? An exclusive space in the market affects messaging priorities.

  • What is your budget? A WordPress site makes your marketing budget go farther.

  • Do you already have a branded look that you want to incorporate into your website? A custom site can accommodate the greatest range of design parameters.

  • Are there specific features that you absolutely must have? A custom site has the greatest flexibility.

  • How many pages do you expect to build into your site? The complexity of your sitemap will affect the range of navigation tools you need.
