We’re excited you want to learn more!

We understand that conversations about websites can get complex, so our first step is to get to know you, your goals, and what you might need from a new site. The following are some questions that will help us sort through the big ideas and details of what you are looking for. Feel free to skip any questions you aren’t sure about or don’t know. The whole survey should take about 5 minutes to get through.

Ready? Let’s get started!

Branding

Branding is how your students and community recognize you. Having a consistent look across all your materials and platforms helps people recognize your face before you say your name. Your district and schools may already have this area buttoned down. That’s great! If you feel like more could be done in this area, we can help with that too! Pick which items on the right you would want help with.

Content

The stories you tell, the pictures you take, the videos and information you share all help create a more memorable experience for your users. Creating this content, or moving it from your current site to a new site, can be a large and daunting task. The following questions help break down what kind of content you want on your site, how you use it and who is responsible for maintaining it.

Structure

Structure refers to how the information on your site is organized. We want to start by talking about the highest level of organization, how many sites you will need. Something to consider is how you primary visitors, students and their parents, interact with your site. Often times students identify first with their own school and then with the district, so having multiple sites that can be accessed from the main district site can be advantageous to districts with more than 3 schools. Thinking about your district, what do you think will make the most sense for you?

We're going to have a single site

We're going to have multiple sites
