You owe me a glass of wine when you come to Manchester!
Someone did the right think and asked one of my schools...

Good morning,

I am the school administrator for a Primary School in West Yorkshire. I have found your website through WalsallSchools.org who I believe helped you set your website up.

We are currently looking into using this company for our own website and I wondered whether you would mind letting me know what you thought about it.

Your website looks great and I note that it has been recently updated with articles (sorry to hear about the fire, what a nightmare to sort out!!). Again if you could let me know your thoughts on how easy, or not, it is to update much appreciated.

Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Melanie
School Administrator

And this is the answer...

Hi Melanie

Thank you for looking at our website. We are more than happy with the service we receive from Steve. He has taught me everything I need to know by telephone and if there are any problems or anything I unsure of, I only have to text or email and he replies almost instantly.

The great thing about the site is that it is so easy to keep up to date. As you saw with our fire .......(thank you for your sympathies- we are up and running again but using porta-cabin loos for reception children and the building still harbours some smell and grim from the smoke despite professional cleaners—not to mention the material loss!)

.......I was able to post on the website, before the fire was even out, that school would be closed and of course keep it updated as to the latest news.

We have a children's website club and they write for the site. Posting is even easier now you can directly email Word docs, PowerPoints and publisher which you can see quite a few examples of on Waterloo Site (Moorside Primary is also my school). Small video clips and still photos are also easy to upload via email!

All in all I would say go for it... The support is excellent, it couldn't be easier and if you have any ELCs left you can use them too.

Hope that helps!
