BLOG

Brendan Schneider from Sewickly Academy retweeted a post recently stating that blog traffic is increased when the title refers to a numerical list--we'll see about that.

At the beginning of 1996 we were the only company making websites for independent schools. We recognized that the web was becoming an important enough communication resource that schools would eventually look to outside sources for help. A lot of other companies eventually arrived at the same conclusion, and of those I'd say that three became truly excellent providers of web communications services to the NAIS community.

Our editor says that my blog posts are too long, but I counter that this audience has a deeper attention span than most, so I hope you will prove me right.

Newschoolyard is pleased to announce two more independent schools have signed-on for our open source web service; Nantucket New School and Soundview Prep. Nantucket New School is a co-educational day school serving students in pre-school through grade eight. Soundview Preparatory School, an independent, coed day school for grades 6 – 12, is located on a 13 acre campus in Yorktown Heights, New York in northern Westchester County.

This post is about paying for web-based functionality--plain and simple. We hooked up with all sorts of third-party solutions to get our site launched yesterday, and the cost was ZERO! In the spirit of full disclosure, in the case of two items on the list below, we have limited free trials, but even then the monthly subscription is less than half the cost of your school's admission application fee.
