Schools have incredible opportunities to use the web effectively to promote their institution and also inform their staff, students and communities of events, achievements and outcomes on their website. A school website can become the school's most important communication tool. By reminding students and parents to visit the website and making it a cornerstone in your communications policy, schools can reach their communities and the wider global community in a way never before possible.

From schools looking to display their details, promotional materials and upload occasional newsletters, through to school websites that are designed to become full online news portal systems, we can design and create your school website and train your staff and students how to use it and provide ongoing technical support as required.

With effective planing and set up, your school website can evolve into a whole school online publishing platform which allows and encourages staff and students to become online journalists and highlight the work and efforts of students and teachers.

We know the logistics of schools and can create a system your teachers and students will enjoy using and visiting. Our designer is a WACOT registered teacher who can work with your students in a classroom situation if needed.

School News

Schools can never provide too much information for their parents and communities. With a School News Portal website you can keep all members of your school community informed as to the latest happenings and upcoming events.

Set up in a similar way as a professional news organisation website, a Big Me News Portal allows for fully automated linking and headline leaders once content is added to the content management system. All you need to do is collect the text and enter it and the website takes care of the rest.

This can create a 'buzz' in a school as news of carnivals, excursions, sports, classroom activities and so on appear on the site.

Online Publishing

Schools can venture into the exciting and innovative world of Online Publishing with our Online Publishing website package. This can be set up in a number of ways according to each school's needs. Essentially, your Online Publishing website is set up as an online newspaper or magazine and curriculum elements from your classrooms are used as content on your school website.

Students and staff are encouraged to submit content to this site. The site is programmed to be largely automated so once content is approved it is visible on the site and linked within the menu system without further effort. Content can be set to display to members only if desired and the site can be password protected.
