We were tasked with building a fully editable responsive website for the largest secondary school in Liverpool with our partners Media and Digital.
Alsop High School has over 1700 students and the website needs to communicate the schools core values, ethos, its facilities as well as housing all the relevant information, policies and documents for all interested parties (such as parents, staff, students, governors, Ofsted). All this information must also be kept relevant and up-to-date which can be a massive undertaking.
A new fully responsive website was developed for the school, with a low maintenance content management system that is extremely easy to use allowing staff to quickly update content at short notice and with minimal computer skills required. Because the website is so ease to update more staff were trained spreading the effort of maintaining the site across more people within the team. This combination of non-techie interface and more hands to help maintain the site means our editable school websites do get regularly updated becoming a valuable, online marketing and information point.
Responsive School Website tested across all major browsers & devices
Over recent years, it has become increasingly important to have a site which works as well on mobile as on desktop. More websites are now loaded on smartphones and tablets than on desktop computers. And this is particularly true of the users of school websites, so they need to be able to access the information they want quickly whether on a computer, tablet or mobile.
Responsive websites are built on a flexible, fluid grid so they adapts and reformat to the browser or device that is rendering the website.
Mobile is now a key user-base with Multi Device users on the internet now at an average of +60%
