School Websites

Fully Responsive School Websites
All of our school websites are responsive designed. This means that content is ‘jiggled’ around automatically so that it fits perfectly on whatever device it is being viewed on; computer, tablet or mobile. Responsive design also removes the need for a separate ‘mobile site’; which are often costly and mean twice as much updating. Everything is maintained from your site admin area.
