SCC ICT Websites – Stand Out from the Crowd!

You want your website to reflect and showcase your strengths while improving communication with your audience. We know first-hand that keeping your website up-to-date can be overwhelming and stressful — which is why we’re here for you. Whether it is carrying out a task for you, surprising you with design enhancements you’ll love, or helping you figure something out we can help.

What Makes A Great Website?

Attractive & Responsive

First impressions count. Is your website visually appealing and a clear representation of your school?
Functional: How easy is it for users to navigate the website, find what they’re looking for and interact as necessary? You want the user experience to be good on both mobile devices and desktop computers i.e. responsive

Dynamic

Manage your content easily – for the vast majority of schools it is so important that there is a Content Management System (CMS) in place that makes it incredibly easy for you to keep your content up to date.

Ofsted compliant (schools)

Our expert team will build your website, ensuring you meet Ofsted Requirements

Accessible

A previously overlooked concept, it is now considered essential to make sure your website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

Our Website Services

SCC ICT offers WordPress websites to schools and other organisations. We also offer website hosting and a website managed service for those who want to be completely hands-off.

Why WordPress?

By far the most popular content management system out there, WordPress powers over 27% of the web.

One reason people love WordPress is that it is highly customizable, yet it is easy to use. You don’t need to be too tech savvy to contribute to a WordPress site.

The other good news is you don’t need to do any of the design or technical work in setting up or hosting your school website. Our highly skilled team can create and customize a website that meets your precise needs.

How we build websites – step-by-step

1. Consult

During the initial design briefing (either in-person or remotely) we’ll discuss the look and feel of your new website as well as considering your audience and the best way to get across the unique and special nature of your school. We’ll also discuss your website likes and dislikes, colour and layout preferences. And we’ll have plenty of suggestions of things to include to help make sure your website works for you.

2. Design

With a few resources such as your logo and some photos we can get to work on the design for your new website. Once we’ve designed it, we’ll present a beautiful demo of your new website, working with your feedback until you’re 100% happy with it.

3. Build

Once you’re happy with the design we’ll work our web magic and build your website. You can sit back and relax for this part while our team build your website in WordPress and get it ready for you.

4. Populate

Before you go live you’ll want to give your website some TLC – Tender Loving Content. We’ll get your initial content in place – just send it over or we can take it from your existing website.

For school websites we’ll tell you what Ofsted requires and you can view our Ofsted School Website Checklist* to make sure you are Ofsted compliant. (*updated 23/02/2021).
