User centric responsive design
We design and develop fully responsive bespoke school websites – making sure your website is viewed perfectly on any mobile device. Accept any less from a website provider and you'll be compromising on quality with your school website which will directly affect your search engine rankings (SEO).
User Experience
Our UX (user experience) designers create stunning websites with your users in mind; whether it's your students, parents, teachers or governors the user journey needs to be well considered and built into your website design to make sure they’re finding the information they need need - keeping them engaged and importantly, returning to your website time and again.
"We have found the responsive, attentive service from the team at Concept4, led by Media Director Alex Buck, to be invaluable and very supportive, with a range of website solutions, which have, in particular, raised the profile and numbers of Boarding intake and improved communication between global communities. The very fact that Alex and team have vast experience in the state boarding sector and awareness of the International Baccalaureate helps to ensure nothing is left unturned. Analytics stats on a recent revamp show a dramatic increase in hits for Boarding enquiries with sharper SEO capacity and higher rankings. The Content Management System devised by Concept4 is a user-friendly solution which can be adapted by a number of staff easily and quickly"
