Schools Nationwide
WebSchoolPro Poised to Save Schools Millions in Website Creation and
Maintenance

PETALUMA, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WildFireWeb(R), Inc.,
a Northern California company founded by education technology professionals,
is now offering free WebSchoolPro(TM) websites to all 130,000 public and
private K-12 schools in the United States. Piloted in 15 California school
districts from 2006 through 2008, WebSchoolPro is now available nationwide,
enabling any school or district to quickly create and easily maintain their
own website at no cost.
"In an era when schools have limited time, budgets and resources,
WebSchoolPro websites empower educators with simple tools that encourage and
improve communication, participation, and fundraising efforts," said Blaine
Transue, co-founder and CEO of WildFireWeb. "To succeed, our schools,
teachers, and students need and deserve the same technological advantages and
opportunities as businesses."
WebSchoolPro's free school websites, based on patent-pending technology,
liberate schools and districts from the high cost of website creation and
maintenance by providing simple tools that enable total control over web
content from any computer with a browser and internet connection.
Any K-12 school in the US can create their new free website in less than
five minutes using WebSchoolPro's automated signup. Schools outside of the US
can sign up for their free school website by using a simple request form
online.
Authorized users can edit their secure website as easily as working with
word processing or e-mail software, from within any standard web browser. No
special hardware or software is required, and there is no limit to the number
of pages or amount of content a site can contain.
With a WebSchoolPro free school website, teachers can create virtual
classrooms with expandable space for updates, notes, assignments, files,
resources, image galleries, calendars and blogs as well as tap into
professional resources and networks. Parents can stay in touch through online
forums and a built-in alert system. Educators and staff can revise
announcements, schedules and other mission critical information as often as
necessary.
Advertising on school property can be controversial, but, according to
Transue, "It can be done responsibly so that all parties win. There are many
appropriate sponsors interested in supporting our education institutions. We
work closely with schools and advertisers to ensure success for everyone
involved."
Two standard options are available. Under the free model, school websites
are fully supported by approved, conscientious sponsors and advertisers.
Schools interested in a non-advertising based solution can pay a fixed annual
fee that covers all costs or their website. District and volume pricing
programs are also available.
California's Sonoma Valley Unified School District was the first to sign
up and convert all of their schools. "WebSchoolPro enables us to immediately
share vital information within our district and community," said former
Superintendent Barbara Young. "Our departments, schools, teachers and staff
now maintain their own websites and pages quickly and easily at no cost."
