Content Management

Content Tools
Each of these is a tool you place on a page from the Page Builder. All of them inherit your template's design automatically.
Calendars and events
Filterable event listings with an automatic RSS feed. Pull events from FACTS SIS or Google Calendar so you maintain one calendar rather than two, or manage it directly on the site.
News, announcements and bulletins
Dated announcements for short notices, news posts for the longer stories worth telling properly, and
bulletins. Each can publish an RSS feed. Announcements can come straight from FACTS SIS.
Sitewide alerts
When school closes for weather or a schedule changes last minute, families check the website first. Push a pop-up alert across every page in seconds, so they see it no matter where they land — not just the homepage. Turn it off just as fast, or schedule it ahead of time.
Online forms
Build forms in the CMS — spam-protected with CAPTCHA — for tour requests, event RSVPs, volunteer sign-ups, permission slips, and job applications.
For admissions specifically, most schools embed FACTS Online Application and Online Enrollment forms directly on the page, so a prospective family can start an application or ask for more information without ever leaving your site.
Staff and faculty directories
Profile pages with photos, titles, and biographies, sourced from FACTS SIS or maintained on the site.
Photos, video and media library
Photo galleries and slideshows, plus a media library with server-side video encoding — your video is hosted and played on your site rather than surrounded by another company's ads and recommendations.
Site search
Full-site search powered by Google Programmable Search.
Blogs and newsletters
Long-form posts for a head-of-school column, classroom blogs, or athletics recaps. Newsletters produced
in FACTS SIS can surface on your site, so a family who deleted the email can still read it.
Lunch menus
Published straight from FACTS SIS, or managed on the site — as real web content rather than a PDF.
Scholarships
List the scholarships and tuition assistance available at your school. Affordability is the first
objection most prospective families raise.
Social media streams
Pull your Instagram and Facebook posts onto the inside pages of your site automatically.
Additional tools
Beyond what's covered above, additional tools round out the page builder: private file sharing, message boards, facility requests, donation and signup forms, video and image albums, and tabbed or accordion layouts — each one ready to drop onto any page.
