Can i change things around?
All of the above can, of course, be changed to reflect the current needs of the school. Additionally, you will have full control over the appearance of the school website. You can modify different colors, backgrounds, fonts, images, or videos for any page on the site.
Once completed, your site will help parents and the community get all the information they need about your school, reducing administrative costs while saving you time and energy. Parents from outside the area, who have recently moved in or are planning to move nearby and are looking for a school, will easily be able to find your school via a Google search.
A CMS, in relation to website building, is a web application that allows you to create and manage all the information on your school website. It allows users with no knowledge of computer code or website maintenance to manage their site daily, keeping all content up to date and relevant without the costs of paying an external party. The CMS used for your website is called WordPress.
Content Management Systems can be accessed from anywhere in the world, and any updates you make will appear on your website at the click of a button.
Once you log into your CMS, all content is separated from the visual presentation of the site. This makes it much easier and quicker to edit. It’s very much like using Microsoft Office applications!
