Finalsite overview

We go beyond just providing a website because we offer more than just software. Our wide-range of creative & consulting services can help you with design, social media, systems integration, SEO and Google Adwords, professional development, and more.

When Finalsite designs a website, we create more than just a pretty homepage. We help you tell your school's story. Our ability to pay close attention to details about your school's culture, community, campus and values is one of the qualities that sets us apart from our peers.

Design details engage users, keeping them on your site longer and making it easier for them to find the content that interests them. We work with you to develop a rich design that unifies the homepage, interior pages, and all of the details that create a compelling user experience.

Desktop, tablet, phone — any size, any brand. With mobile options like Responsive Design, mobile websites and iOS apps, our Platform is optimized for access anytime, anywhere for both front-end visitors and website administrators.

Great program, but with everything else Finalsite it is expensive.

Pros
Finalsite is our SMS and therefore the Apply program "talks" to the SMS. Apply allows us to pull stats and reports, which makes yearly comparisons quick and easy.

Cons
Cost. Finalsite products are excellent and their connectivity makes for efficiency of use, but their programs/platforms are expensive and much cannot be individualized unless you are willing to pay. Finalsite is always prompt about getting back to us about tickets submitted.

Benefits

- By harnessing the power of the Web for publications, schools can reduce printing costs, increase efficiency, and better serve the needs of their core constituents.

- We can create an online version of your bulletin or newsletter that will keep your constituents informed.

- Keep up with the conversation and set the bar with a social-media. A mash-up let's you display content that is effective for parents and engaging for prospects.

- Increase awareness and engagement with an interactive E-Card. Add interest to an annual appeal, bring your campaign case alive, or be festive with an e-greeting card.

- Turn a regular TV screen into an information hub that pulls dynamically from your website. Show your daily schedule, announcements, reminders and more.

- Create a site designed specifically for the user experience of an iPad. Swipe-able pages and images, and touch navigation are great for campus tours, annual reports and other campaigns.

- Finalsite Dashboard sifts through and simplifies a vast amount of web visitor data to help you understand exactly how your school’s website is being used.

- And, as part of Finalsite's family of more than 1,500 schools, we’ll tell you where your school’s site stands with anonymously aggregated benchmark comparisons that gives you a clear idea of how you measure up.
