Since 2011, we have exclusively partnered with hundreds of schools, trusts, and post-16 providers. Our relationships are long-term, and we bring that wealth of knowledge and experience to every project. That means we understand what it means to work alongside you, be an extension of your in-school team and be a reassuring, constantly innovating presence in an education landscape that is constantly changing. We’re not just a team of designers, coders and digital wizards - we are people with a track record of teaching, learning, SEND and marketing in schools and colleges like yours. And career histories that draw on the best of private-sector practice.

A Nurturing Approach to Support

We believe that your success depends on your partnerships and relationships with others. We have grown and developed a team that delights in helping you achieve your goals. We are not driven by the need to hit a target or grow to a point where we lose sight of who we are - our priority is to keep our standards of care to the highest level. Your website partner should be easy to reach and Always supportive - that’s why you will get to know your own support team by name - just as your students know you.

Care over Cash

We never want you to feel like you are constantly being surprised and asked to part with more money. In a world where schools face funding cuts, rising costs and ever-increasing burdens, we aim to make budgeting as easy as possible. That is why we keep our pricing structures incredibly simple. Do we charge for additional services? Of course, additional options are always available to you, but we won’t push them on you. Everything you need for a fully functioning, self-supporting, and compliant website is never an extra - even when we go the extra mile to help you.

Relationship First

Our approach has always been to partner with you. You should never feel that you have been handed a product or service and then left to your own devices. We work hard to keep in touch, share best practices and make ourselves available for anything you need. We’re not a remote supplier; we’re sat at the desk opposite you.

NO surprises, NO hidden extras

We believe that the price you are quoted is the price you pay. Nobody likes surprises so the single, predictable, flat-rate you pay includes everything

you need to make the most of your school website.

Education-Specific Content Management System

The Schudio CMS is our very own, built from the ground up specifically for schools with other things to do! If a colleague is a digital wizard, great, if they are nervous of the internet and can only post on social media, or sell their children’s bike on eBay, they can do everything possible on our system. At no additional cost, you will benefit from ongoing system updates and enhancements to protect your website from the ever changing world of the internet and social media. When you update an operating system on your phone - we’re doing the same to make sure websites keep working.

Training & Exceptional Support

Unlimited access to on-demand training (videos and resources) or in-person training at our office is included as standard - the choice is yours. Plus, you’ll benefit from expert advice at the end of the phone or via email and video conference - whenever you need it. You’ll have a named contact and, because we deliberately maintain a small, highly-trained team, you will get to know all our people at every level well and, more importantly, they will get to know you and your school.

Infrastructure & Hosting

The systems and infrastructure hosting your website has an average annual uptime of 99.99% thanks to the advanced protection measures we maintain to minimize any impact on your website. Full system backups are carried out every day as part of our recovery plan - your website is copied, all the time, every time.

Accessibility

We take website accessibility seriously and strive to ensure that all websites we create meet accessibility standards and guidelines, making them inclusive and accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. If your corporate colours create a contrast issue, we’ll tell you, if your videos would benefit from free closed captions, we’ll tell you...
