I would consider Lawrence School to be a healthy and engaging online community on Facebook, especially, with more than 1,200 likes. We've achieved this by bringing a 'news bureau' approach to the page — meaning that our Facebook page, rather than our school website, is the first place for families to go to discover (and share) all interesting aspects about Lawrence School. We then use the news section of our school website to support our Facebook page with supplementary information.

FIS prides itself on providing students with a world-class education so having a website that reflects that excellence is paramount. With that in mind, upgrading to a responsive site was a must.
Our new website has made families who are coming to our campus for the first time feel as though they are visiting an old friend.
Our job descriptions made for a natural group to come together, but our individual skill sets have also proven to be an ideal mix.
At the end of the school year, the data on the website was totally different than what was in our SIS.

We designed a new strategy focused on the neighborhoods in which our students live and actively engaging in events where we knew there could be a lot of potential customers. Using tools shared in Finalsite webinars, we also began focusing our efforts on inbound marketing – using AdWords, Facebook, and Instagram ads. The website redesign was part of this overall strategy.

Building a website is not for the faint of heart. People need to carve out a good six months to rollout a site, and once the site is built, you cannot put it on the shelf. It needs to be dusted off regularly. We are very proud of our results and have enjoyed working with Finalsite to bring our vision to life. It has been a long haul but the feedback has been overwhelming positive.
One thing I really took away from FinalsiteU was that the focus of a school website should be marketing.

Once we were familiar with the Finalsite Platform we trained other point people in the school. The whole idea of a site like this is for people to take ownership of their own space and now when Advancement or the Alumni office, for example, need to update something, they can.
All the tools you need to make your job easy are already there. You just need to maximize the capabilities of the module.

Our team's focus is on identity and loyalty. I work alongside the director of admissions to coordinate ways to tell the school's story to prospective and current families. We also are incorporating the strategic plan's vision statement for admissions, as well as open houses. When prospects come to our website or to campus, our discussions are around this vision and what prospective families can expect.

And thinking differently is not a bad thing.

Photography is one of the most powerful things you can do for your website. If you observe any website, you will notice how something as simple as a header image really sets the tone for the entire section or page.
