School Webmasters

School Webmasters is a unique kind of Web Design firm. First of all, we only design for schools and educational organizations. The needs of schools (public, charter, or private) are our area of expertise.  Our goal is to make sure that our client’s Web sites serve them well and are a matter of pride in their community–and an absolutely painless process for the busy school personnel.

We do all the design, copywriting, and even the updates. We don’t build it and turn it over to overworked staff (who don’t have the design, PR, or copywriting skillsets a Web site requires), but we work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep it current, attractive, and informative. Key personnel in the school send us the latest information and then we make sure it gets placed where it will do the most good. This keeps the site from losing that professional appearance over time (which it does even when the site is a CMS powered site). We even send out monthly reminders to those internal “knowledge experts” so that the information keeps coming and the Web site doesn’t get lost in the busy day-to-day necessities of running a school.

We also have a unique business model. We are owned and managed by women and about 90% of our staff are independent contractors who work from their home offices. Many are professional women who have left the “real” world of work to raise families. School Webmasters gives them the opportunity to have the best of both worlds. They can set their own hours (as long as our clients needs are met) and their skills and dedication are valued and rewarded. Our staff takes great pride in working quietly behind the scenes to make sure the Web sites we manage are in top form. The fact that our clients trust us to make them look good is our greatest reward.

In a day and age where old-fashioned customer service is hard to find, we haven’t forgotten what that means. We carefully balance technology and service because that is what educators want and deserve.
