Does your website have these 4 things to make it great?

The schools we work with frequently ask us this question, and we also ask it of ourselves regularly as we work to give our clients the best experience possible. In the end, there are a lot of factors that go into creating a good school website, but these are the four most important ones.

The values and tenets of your school should be clearly displayed

Websites have emerged as one of the most crucial checkpoints for prospective parents considering where to enrol their child in school. It's a fantastic educative tool that might even give someone their first impression of your school. This can be achieved through tailor-made branding and good copywriting to ensure your website is sending the right message that builds trust and credibility.

Elegant and simple navigation

One of the most important characteristics of a good website is its ability to give visitors a positive experience. Having a menu that is easy to understand and navigate is one of the best ways to accomplish this. An efficient school website should work to make sure that users can always quickly find the information they need. - write something about how our planning and software can help achieve this

An easy-to-use CMS

This last point is about making sure a school website works well for those who are in charge of keeping it up to date. Everything up to this point has focused on what makes a school website effective in the eyes of those who visit it. A top-notch content management system, an instrument that enables the school to easily add and update content, is the foundation of a good school website.

With Trustar you can update content across multiple sites in one place, without needing to do it manually for each website.

An SSL Certificate

SSL certificates have been available for use for more than 20 years. The presence of an SSL certificate guarantees that your website's visitors' sensitive data will be transferred over a secure network.

Despite this crucial element, many end users and organisations put off adopting it in the beginning. primarily as a result of the certificates' high cost and challenging implementation. Today, obtaining an SSL certificate is much simpler thanks to initiatives that make their installation incredibly simple and offer them for free.

Without it, the browser might mark your website as unsafe, which could frighten or discourage visitors from using it. Additionally, SSL-certified websites typically rank higher on search engines like Google. Therefore, having an SSL certificate will increase the visibility of your website to internet users, as well as to parents and students looking for useful information. Finally, having an SSL certification demonstrates to your students' parents that you care about their security. Additionally, it promotes responsible internet use and shows off your staff's subject-matter expertise.

We operate in an extremely security-conscious way, a free SSL certificate is administered for every website that comes out of our foundry - if your site does not have an SSL certificate please contact us.
