We can help create and define a perfect solution that can be reflected in any of your printed and digital communications as well as in the school environment.

Multimedia

At Website for School we believe that multimedia is an under utilised medium that can really help make your school stand out from the crowd. Multimedia comes in many different content forms such as text, video, still images, cds or animations.

Interactive prospectuses can be a useful addition to your website or even a virtual tour of your facilities with 360 degree photographs to help attract interest from further afield.

Photography

Beautiful professional photography is an important part of any school, college or university brand. A good picture pens a thousand words, a great picture pens like Shakespeare. At Website for School we truly value good quality photography and provide this as part of our in house services. Photography can help define the visual appeal of an education institution and enhance the ethos and credentials that make it individual.

A photographic shoot can be studio or location based. For a location shoot we first visit the school, college or university and identify interesting areas, architecture, classes and individuals that make for a great shot. We then organise a schedule for the shoot, provide list of shots that fit the feel of the creative and ask for volunteers that would be happy to be featured in the shoot. On the day of the shoot our art director and photographer would work with the appropriate staff and organise the entire process.

A studio shoot is great for a new school, college or university who may not yet have a building, or perhaps the solution we develop would benefit more from creative montages. In this case we invite subjects to our photographic studio which gives students and staff a real and exciting experience of subject based model photography.

Whether its location or studio based photography we like to make the whole processes a fun and engaging activity that staff and students truly enjoy to be a part of. Experience tells us that a successful photographic shoot leads to the people involved becoming ambassadors for the new brand, telling friends and colleagues what a great day they had.
