The webosphere is glowing with infinite possibilities. With each new kindergarten class, your parents, students, and even teachers are more tech savvy. Everyone is looking to the Internet to communicate, demonstrate, and celebrate. Parents go to the web for information about their student's progress and schedule. Students use the web for assignments. Teachers and administrators realize the power of the Internet for communication and collaboration. How can you harness that potential into a web platform that is comfortable for even the less tech-savvy?

SchoolWorks has done the homework on this project. We have found a CMS that is designed to match the specific needs of schools. We looked at the user interface, tested the functionality, and bought the company! NovusCMS (previously a product of Novusolutions) is perfect for schools. Here's why:

  • The NovusCMS user interface is WYSIWYG. That means easy. Even your non-technical staff can build and maintain their web pages without a drop of HTML, CSS, XSLT, PHP or any other acronym.
  • NovusCMS has workflow. Web content can be required to be approved prior to publication.
  • Web content management should protect your graphic design. NovusCMS separates the design from the content. Admin users can tweak the graphic design but content writers don't even know it is there.
  • Microsoft Server & MS SQL Database. Most schools use MS Server instead of a LAMP. We don't know why, but we know it's true.
  • You should have a content management system that works with your Active Directory. NovusCMS does that.

We licence NovusCMS just like SchoolWorks SIS. So it is a fully scalable with no "per user" fees and the power to manage a virtually unlimited number of web sites.
