Website FAQs
Find out if Cleverbox’s school website design and development service is right for you with answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Do you offer website packages to suit different budgets?
Yes! We offer a variety of website packages designed to fit various needs and budgets. We can also tailor a proposal to suit your specific project goals. When you get in touch, our team will guide you through the available options and help find the best fit for your needs.
Can you offer any additional or custom features for my website?
Yes! We can create a website that perfectly fits your audience’s needs by customising it with various features. These include showcasing your expertise through case studies, presenting data in clear visuals with statistics panels, and improving user convenience with features like calendar syncs and integrations with other tools. To ensure we choose the functionalities that align best with your goals, we recommend discussing your specific needs with our experts during the briefing stage.
What Content Management System do your websites use?
For a streamlined website management experience, we primarily use our proprietary content management system (ReactCMS). This has been specifically designed for schools and Trusts, so it comes pre-loaded with features that make managing your website’s content and tracking its performance a breeze. However, if you have a strong preference for WordPress, we can build your website using that platform as well. To explore which option is best for your needs, we recommend scheduling a demo with our team at Cleverbox.
Are Cleverbox websites mobile responsive?
Yes, of course! All our websites are built to adapt perfectly to any screen size, from desktops to smartphones and tablets. This guarantees a smooth and enjoyable experience for your visitors, no matter how they choose to access your website. Find out more about our school website design service.
Are Cleverbox websites SEO friendly?
Yes! Cleverbox includes basic search engine optimisation (SEO) during the initial build process. This ensures your website is discoverable for relevant searches. We can also offer ongoing SEO support services to further improve your search engine ranking over time. Additionally, if you choose a WordPress website, you can leverage popular SEO plugins like Yoast SEO to further enhance performance.
Do I get a dedicated account manager to oversee my website project?
Absolutely! A dedicated account manager is your key to a smooth and personalised website journey. They’ll be your go-to person throughout the entire project, getting to know your specific needs, preferences, and goals for the website. This ensures everything stays on track and reflects your vision. And what’s more, this supportive relationship continues even after your website launches. Find out more about how we will approach your website project.
Does Cleverbox host my website after it is built?
Yes, Cleverbox takes care of your website hosting after it’s built. Your hosting costs will be clearly outlined in your project proposal. Your ReactCMS website will be hosted on Amazon’s secure and reliable AWS infrastructure. This ensures your site benefits from 24/7 monitoring, minimal disruption, and the utmost security. WordPress websites are hosted on an equally secure WordPress infrastructure. For more details on our hosting, you can request our Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Will my website be secure?
Absolutely! We prioritise the security and smooth operation of your website with every hosting package we offer. Features include malware scanning, PCI-DSS compliance, robust 1 Tbps+ DDoS protection, safeguarding against brute force login attempts, auto-renew SSL certificates and a host of additional features for your security and convenience. We also carry out fully automated Timeline Backups, and all our servers are 100% UK based.
How much of my school website design will be customisable after it goes live?
ReactCMS empowers you to personalise your website and make it truly your own. While we maintain the core design elements to ensure a consistent user experience, the platform provides a vast toolbox for customisation. This means you can easily update or add content, pages, images, and links to perfectly match your specific needs and preferences. Get in touch to arrange a demo.
How much does it cost to get a new school website?
Creating a new school website doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all cost. The price of your new school website will depend on its complexity, the features you require, and any custom design or functionality you may have in mind. To ensure we match you with the best option for your goals and budget, we recommend booking a consultation with our experts.
What third-party software do Cleverbox websites integrate with?
Our websites can seamlessly integrate with various third-party platforms, including payment gateways, admissions software, and communication tools. This means you can connect your website to the tools you already use, creating a smooth and efficient experience for everyone. To ensure we provide the perfect solution, discuss your specific needs with one of our web experts.
How long does it take to build a new school website?
Building a new school website doesn’t have a single timeframe, as several factors play a role. These include the scale of the project, whether your site is from our Theme, Signature or Premium range, how prepared your content is, design revisions needed, and how quickly stakeholders can approve things. To get a clearer picture of how long your project might take, discuss your specific needs and expectations with our team. They will consider all the unique aspects of your website and provide a more accurate estimate.
What kind of support will I get after my school website is built?
You will enjoy peace of mind with unlimited website support included in your hosting. Our dedicated technical team is always ready to help, ensuring your school website stays up-to-date and functions smoothly as your needs evolve.
