Outsourcing your website is similar to outsourcing your accounting or printing. You can certainly do it yourself, but is it cost effective?
With limited budgets, most schools cannot employ a website specialist to manage their website. However, schools have to consider the time it takes for a member of your staff to do the website, the cost of software and training, and the learning curve for someone who is not trained in website technologies. In some cases, schools are asking for computer and IT teachers to pick up the task and often times, their time is focused on other things and the website is left stagnant. Many smaller schools are asking administrative staff to pick up the task and they too are often tied up with more pressing issues. Unless the person you assign to the task is motivated to keep the website current, and work on it during their own time, chances are, it will be left behind. With the increasing demand for parents to locate information on the internet, and the higher expectations of website sophistication, outsourcing your website design and maintenance has become an extremely appealing and viable option. Adding a small website monthly budget is an affordable and is a reliable way to be sure your website is kept current. We want to help schools be the best they can be online. We look forward to hearing from you...
