Greenhouse School Websites
Greenhouse School Websites designs and operates websites and a content management system for schools and multi-academy trusts. The CMS supports unlimited pages and menus, and can hold thousands of documents, photos, and videos. Staff can update sites in a browser from any internet-connected computer, while role-based permissions govern editing, approval, and publishing. Websites include responsive layouts and accessibility features such as keyboard access, clear labelling, text resizing, and reflow. Greenhouse also offers mobile apps connected to school websites, with push notifications, and integrations including Google Analytics, Google Maps, Twitter, and Facebook. Compliance tools include Ofsted early warning alerts and an audit tool based on DfE website requirements. Support is available by phone, email, and live chat, with training videos and weekly webinars. The company works exclusively with schools; it says standard contracts run for 12 months and do not require upfront payment before launch. Pricing starts at £945, and a free trial is available. Most schools go live in around four to six weeks, depending on design, content, and feedback.
