School website questionnaire

These questions give us everything we need to write your site. Short answers are fine; bullet points are fine. If you already have a brochure, an old website, or a document that covers some of this, email it to hello@sitebyfive.com and skip what it answers. Photos, your logo, and documents come in the next step, so for now just tell us what you have. Anything you leave blank shows up in your preview as a clearly marked "add this later" note, never as made-up filler.

Thanks, your answers are in! Within one business day we'll email you three things: a Dropbox link for your logo, photos, and documents (or just reply with them attached), your invoice, and any questions about your answers. Once your files are in and the invoice is paid, your site is live by 5pm the next business day.

How do tours or visits work?

When they happen, how long they take, how to book, and what to bring.
