  14. CMS Components • Components can be used to save resources across your organization

  15. Website Design Stats • There are many options out there but first impression is everything: • “Never judge a book by its cover”; does not relate to online user behavior • It takes no more than 0.05 seconds for users to form an opinion whether to stay or leave the site • Does you website design impress? • 94% of first impressions are design related

  16. Content Management System 1. 3. 2. Gallia County Local began using CMS in 2002 and continues to do so today.

  17. Printing Costs • Research indicates an average printing cost of approximately $.06 to $.13 cents per-page • A Lexmark study found that over 17% of everything printed was waste • The average employee’s printing costs you $600 per year

  18. Website CMS Component Uses • Nordonia School District reported saving over $60,000 in one year switching to online forms and electronic media • Allen County Schools uses quiz tool to complete state requirements for walkthroughs • Completing the task in a quarter of the time it had previously taken

  23. Benefits of Mobile Suite • Keeps people connected to you while on the move! • Enter data into the website CMS and it automatically ties into the Mobile View • Simple Navigation • Instant Alerts • Our app bundles several features including a Building and Staff Directory, District Calendar, Lunch Menus, Board of Education information and more • Customize RSS Feed

  24. Mobile Traffic Statistics • About 15-16% of traffic is coming from mobile devices • Expected to increase a few percent if you go mobile • Anything >8-10% is a good statistic • Worldwide trends show internet access from mobile devices may exceed desktop access in 2014!

  25. Responsive Web Design • Is it the future? • eSchoolView’s Hybrid Mobile accommodates the need for quick loading on the desktop as well as flexibility on tablets and mobile devices as they constantly change

  26. Cost and ROI • Based on a Tech Director’s salary of 65K & assuming 25% of their time is dedicated to the website it equals $16,250 • What if you could reduce it by ½? • This would save over $8,000 annually, which would pay for most website CMS’s now on the market. • Average ROI on a CMS is less than 1 year.
