Website Refresh - New year New Look

Did you know that sponsor-ed websites have 6 different themes that you can choose from?  All with the same, easy to use back-end controls. If you think it's time for a refresh - you can opt to have your web theme changed. 

  • The change is simple - we do it for you! 
  • No content is edited just a different look for your community
  • There is no down-time, your website is live while the changes are made
  • You can choose a launch date if you prefer - we'll make sure it's ready for you.
  • No re-training required - same admin controls that you are used to
  • It's cheap!  A theme change has a one-off fee of $95 but allows you to have a completely new looking website for your community!
If you are interested - take a look at our themes here.

Simply email helpdesk@sponsor-ed.com.au if you wish to change themes!

Sinead's Website Audit

Even the easiest to use websites can lose their way a little. Let’s face it, 2021 was a BIG year and those website things you were going to get to, well, didn’t happen. You may need to engage Sinead’s Website Audit Report.
What's the aim of the audit?
  • Ensure parents (current and prospective) can find content easily
  • To make the website easier, for you, to manage
  • The make the school's personality and vitality shine through
If you don’t know Sinead, she’s our Operation Manager and likely the voice you here when you’ve called our helpdesk. Sinead has built hundreds of school websites and you can tap into her immense knowledge to get your website humming again.

Here’s what Sinead’s Website Audit Report will cover;

It's time to change your password

Did you know 81% of all cyber breaches are caused by weak passwords. Fun fact: The most common password is ‘123456’. It's actually the most used and compromised password in the world, occurring in 23.2 million cyber breaches in 2019. Start 2023 with a new password (just don't make it 2023)

You can change your password in under a minute; here's a Cheat Sheet showing you how, click here.

Also take the time to review your list of website administrators. If anyone has left your school, delete their USER access.

Invest one hour to read the paper and you'll change the way you look at marketing. 'What principals need to know about the principles of school marketing’, took two months and twenty plus years to write. I have attempted to reimagine school marketing.

If you’ve learned your marketing by working in schools, then it’s time for a reboot.
