About us
We want to and will make it easy for schools to keep their staff, pupils, parents, partners, other stake-holders and wider community informed, updated and engaged.

Now, by merely typing in the text you can do it too!

It's so easy even 7 year old children can do it. If you are able to move a mouse, click a few buttons and string a few sentences together you can maintain a cutting edge site.

We'll give you all the training you'll need, support you on the phone or with email, all to make sure you get the best out of your investment.

Our killer features are:
Superb content management and blog software. Excellent Google optimisation.
An email to weblog interface, making updating your school blog a doddle. 
Top draw support and feedback.

Get money off your Alma Matter
Following on from the Friends Reunited rip off on your own site. I spoke to Bodnant Infants, "what's next they said," now that they're getting to grips with the web and their web... Alma Matter, says I. "Ah!" Says the Head, "I want to get £10 off each of them!"

Fund raising has always been at the front of Helen Vernon's mind :-)

So, how about, £10 for your own page on your own school's site? Cheaper than Friends Reunited's £40 (?), and the money goes to your old school, not the shareholders of Friends Reunited. And a lot simpler. Anybody can email you. You can create your own page, and pay your school later. There's no shopping cart, we'll do it with an honour system, hit a paypal button when you're ready.

Get money off your Alma Matter



News letters to download
Just spoken to the lovely Bodnant Infants in Prestatyn. They wanted to upload their weekly news letter. "How'd we do that then Steve?"
  • Editors only: ==> Gems ==> Create New Gem
  • Add a title, that becomes your "shortcut"
  • Browse your hard drive for your file and upload.
  • Copy "the shortcut"
  • Paste "the shortcut" into your new news item's description
  • Post news item to the front page.
Not too difficult, nor too time consuming. Of course, the first few times, it's a little slow, and cumbersome, but then it's quite fast, particularly if you're working with a few browser windows open at the same time.

Friday's updates
I had another power outage that took out my file structure, again! So I had to reformat my hard drive on my own machine, and reinstall everything from back up, again! Another lost day, and through the coming weeks more time lost as I discover that something isn't working as it was. So I'm late updating from our community.

Bodnant Infants: I'm going to get my own pictures of this! They've got an old castle from a Santa's Grotto, and are going to use it as a library. Thanks the Evan's Nana (Granny :-)

Then there are the excellent, excellent environmental art works of shells and seaweed at Llandudno's Craig y Don.

Rough Hay, in Walsall, had an enigmatic update about perseverance.
