Our Difference

Why Alefsites

 

Through results-oriented projects with more than 450 colleges, universities, and independent schools (including scores of faith-based schools), the strategists at Peapod Design came to appreciate the specific design and messaging needs of Jewish schools. We know that every school has a unique story, and we also know that Jewish schools start with an essential common foundation—rooted in a tradition that drives both program and community. Yafe Websites capitalize on that tradition, while highlighting the other compelling characteristics that truly set each school apart. With an initial filter that pre-qualifies applicants, Alefsites are the perfect platform to effectively attract best-fit families and students.

Why WordPress

 

WordPress is the website platform for nearly 64% of all sites on the internet, including large public-school districts, independent schools, and major universities. With so much riding on them, they need to perform—powerfully and dependably. And they do. WordPress sites are workhorses that we make look like thoroughbreds.

 

Consider these WordPress advantages:

  • Reliability—WordPress is built to be future-proof—through continuous upgrades, an emphasis on JavaScript, and modern technology.
  • Scalability—WordPress is a high-performance platform that can be built-out to meet any school’s needs. It is customizable, comes with powerful media management tools that allow you to create engaging video and photo galleries, and your content is protected no matter how much there is.
  • Ease of Use—No programming or web design experience? No problem. Navigating the WordPress CMS is straightforward and intuitive for both administrators and end-users. Everything is at your fingertips and there’s all kinds of support when you need it.
  • Adaptability & Flexibility—Mobile-friendly—any size, any screen—so your brand and content are always intact.
  • Feature-Packed—News, social media, calendars…however you want to organize your site, WordPress has the tools to seamlessly integrate all your information.
  • Affordability—Breaking the website mold doesn’t have to break the bank. Because WordPress is an open-source platform, “development costs” aren’t your problem and your marketing budget will go a lot farther.
