A school network site launches smoothly when every campus’s basic details sit in one document before building starts. Parents want to find their school, see how admissions work and know whom to contact, and each campus may describe those steps a little differently. One careful list of campuses and contacts is the best preparation.
How the launch unfolds
Day 1-2: You send the campus list and admissions steps, and we plan the directory and the shared home page.
Week 1: We draft the campus pages from one template, and each campus lead checks their own details.
Week 2: We link calendars and set up contact routes by campus, then test the forms and links on a phone.
Launch: We recheck every campus entry, publish and verify links; a 48-hour launch is possible for eligible projects with content ready.
What to gather before you start
- ✓Master campus list — Name, grade span, address and a named contact for each school so the directory is accurate from day one
- ✓Admissions steps by campus — Inquiry, tour, application and notification steps with the dates each campus uses
- ✓Calendar and news links — Working, current addresses for each school’s calendar so parents never land on an old page
- ✓Network mission and shared values — A short statement the central office has approved for every campus to share
- ✓Campus photos with consent — Building and classroom images, with permission, and no identifiable students unless families have agreed
The first month after launch
In the first month, confirm that each campus lead has seen their page and update enrollment dates before each window opens. Add campus photos with permission and check that every contact still reaches a person. Review the directory after the first admissions window to see which campuses draw the most questions and adjust the wording there.
Mistakes to avoid at launch
- ✓Routing every inquiry to one central inbox — Families wait longer for answers and pick another school
- ✓Putting student details in a form — Privacy exposure for the network and lost trust from families
- ✓Letting each campus format dates differently — Parents misread windows and miss enrollment deadlines
