The CMS is intuitive but never static, it is always updatinthe new featuresg with more and more exciting features. The company keeps me in the loop with new features, providing training and support to allow me to use the features in the most effective way. I've never had a company "check in" so often to see if I need any support. All the staff I have had contact with are knowledgable and talk to me in terms that I can understand. I love the way they don't just sell the product and leave you to it, but are always on hand to support you and help you to use the product in the best way for your needs.
Chris found Juniper Websites (formerly e4education):
- Significantly saves school money“By having the support systems included in the fee, plus the introduction of nerw features”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“As the website can be controlled from the central team, allowing schools to not have to worry about spending time on it.”
- Significantly improves school processes“The schools now have a brand which matches the Trust, plus it helps with the processing as it is done by central services. They can send the documents to the central team which then edit and brand the information to keep it compliant and consistant”
- Significantly improves parent engagement“Due to the ease of use in the CMS, we can make the website easy to browse for parents. Allowing the social media feeds to show on the site has been a agame changer to show parents what is going on. It looks fresh and inviting which is imperative, as it's the usually the first view of the school perspective parents have.”

Used School Website Design & Communication Tools for 18 months
Oct 2020
It continues to be a pleasure to work with e4education. From initial conversations where we discussed the scope of our project, they were interested, attentive and approachable. Throughout the design, build and development stage we were fully involved and supported. The exemplary support has continued now that our websites have launched - their support teams are easily contactable, straightforward and happy to help.
Hayley Gallimore found School Website Design & Communication Tools:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“Teachers do not update the website at our school, so this question is not relevant for us.”
- Moderately saves school money“Their prices are very competitive. We have saved money by using a 'clone' of the original website (Tupton Halll School) to build new sites for two further schools at a reduced cost, and we hope to further utilise this benefit as a Trust.”
- Significantly improves school processes“We are operating a more efficient communications routine thanks to our streamlined, re-designed website. A redesigned sitemap means it's now clear to all school staff which content does and doesn't belong on the website. We are hoping that the inbuilt newsletter builder will save much time too.”
- Significantly improves parental engagement“The vibrant and accessible design means parents can more easily find the information they need.”

We are very happy with our website and communications tools from e4education. However, the main reason I would recommend them to other schools (and indeed we already have recommended them to other schools in our area) is their staff.
