SchoolSitePro
SchoolSitePro is a content management system for K–12 school websites, designed for editing without web development skills. Its front-end editor supports page editing, news and announcements, calendars, teacher pages, and class and homework information. News can sync with the mobile app and social platforms; homepage alerts and Google Calendar Sync provide additional ways to publish updates. Communication features include email lists, a community mailer, and push notifications. Schools can run stores, forms, and donations, with Stripe and PayPal PayFlow Pro integrations for online payments. Other listed tools cover photo albums, video galleries, website translation, password-protected sections, and secure eCommerce. Administrators can assign editing permissions for selected sections or the entire website. The vendor says websites use cloud providers rather than customer-owned servers, include unlimited storage, and have a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Annual subscriptions include unlimited help desk support for school administrators, teachers, and staff by phone, email, and ticketing, with a one-business-day response guarantee. Websites include a free mobile app, and a school-branded version can be requested. Pricing is on request; individual school sites have no setup fee, while district setup fees are quoted individually.
