SiteLive CMS
Created specifically for schools.
SiteLive was originally developed by an IT technician while working in a school and has been continuously improved since 2011. Unlike general-purpose website systems, SiteLive is designed around the day-to-day needs of schools.
Why SiteLive
We don't rely on off-the-shelf or general-purpose systems to power our websites.
SiteLive was built specifically for schools and continues to evolve based on feedback from the schools that use it every day.
Whenever new features are added, they are automatically rolled out across our platform. You'll never have to worry about being left behind.

Built for schools. Improved every year.
Because SiteLive is developed in-house, new features are regularly added and rolled out across all websites. Your school benefits from continuous development without expensive upgrade projects.
We've supported 40+ schools since 2011, completed over 10,000 website requests, and maintain 98% customer satisfaction with an average support response time of 12 minutes.
SiteLive + aftercare
When combined with our support packages, SiteLive becomes a fully managed solution where schools can focus on education while we handle the website.
