Why WordPress

Seamless and targeted on the front end;

Intuitive and flexible in the back.

 

At Alefsites, we built our own content management system, specifically for schools, with the WordPress platform. It is NOT your off-the-shelf WordPress theme. Our CMS is programmed with your style guide requirements, fonts, and colors, making sure your website is branded to your school.

 

WordPress is the website platform for nearly 64% of all sites on the internet, including large public-school districts, independent schools, and over 50% of the largest and most respected 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.
