SmartSchool Websites by POSI
Modern School Websites.
Built to Last. Priced to Win.
Stop Renting Your Website.
POSI builds modern, school-owned WordPress sites — including a professional safety page at every tier that parents are looking for — for a fraction of what schools pay for Finalsite, Blackbaud, or Edlio.
No long-term contracts · Safety page included at every tier · Content migrated for you
You're Overpaying
Finalsite, Blackbaud, and Edlio charge $8,000–$15,000/year just to rent a website you don't own.
You're Platform Locked
Can't make changes without a ticket. Can't export your content. Can't leave without starting over.
Parents Can't Find Safety Info
98% of parents research school safety before enrolling. Most school websites give them nothing to find.
Built for Private Schools
SmartSchool Websites is designed specifically for independent and private K–12 schools.
Independent Private Schools
Paying Finalsite or Blackbaud and getting a template that looks like every other school? We build you a site that stands out — and you own it outright.
Faith-Based Schools
Mission-driven content, community communication, and a safety commitment that families trust — built specifically for the values your school represents.
Charter & Specialty Schools
Whether you serve a specialized curriculum or unique student population, your website should reflect your mission — not a generic school template.
We Migrate Your Existing Content — You Don't Start Over
We scrape and migrate your current site's content into your new WordPress build. You don't hand us a stack of Word docs. We pull your existing pages, text, and structure and rebuild it — faster, cleaner, and modern. Your team picks up right where they left off.
Included at Every Tier
Every Site We Build Includes a Professional POSI Safety Page

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from school administrators before getting started.
Do we own the website after it's built?
Yes — completely. Your WordPress site is hosted on WP Engine under your account. You own the domain, the content, and the code. If you ever want to move it, it goes with you.
What happens to our current site content?
We migrate it. We scrape your existing site and rebuild your content into the new WordPress structure — so you're not starting from scratch or handing us Word documents.
How long does a build take?
Typically 3–6 weeks depending on tier and scope. We move at the pace that works for your team and academic calendar.
What is the safety page and why is it included?
Every SmartSchool site includes a professionally designed POSI safety page — a dedicated page on your website showing parents your school's safety commitment, contacts, and emergency protocols. 98% of parents research school safety before enrolling. This page gives them what they're looking for.
Can we make updates ourselves after launch?
Yes. WordPress is easy to use and your team can make content updates directly. Your monthly plan also includes a set number of updates we handle for you.
We're currently on Finalsite. Is switching complicated?
We handle the transition. We migrate your content, set up your new site, and coordinate the domain transfer. Most schools find the process much simpler than they expected — and the savings start immediately.
