NEW School Website with NEW Services

Hello everyone,

This is just a short note, telling you that our new School
<http://www.schoolreportservices.com/> Report Services website is now up
and running.

What's new you ask? Let me tell you...

Firstly, we have revamped our entire registration model. Previously, we gave
you the option to register as a SCHOOL or as an INDIVIDUAL. But we got a lot
of 'tire kickers'. So in retrospect it wasn't one of the best decisions we
ever made. Now you have to be associated with a school to register - because
we now ask the school details right on the registration form. This is
hopefully going to save you folks a whole lot of confusion, and we hope it's
going to save us a whole lot of unproductive admin. This means we can give
more time and focus to our main customers - you the school representative!

We also decided to make a whole lot of free content available to all
visitors. These include a revamped Proposal document, some free material
your school can use to communicate to the parents, and the results of a
survey we conducted in Australia towards the end of last year. Registered
users get even more resources.

We decided to add a new service. This service allows us to provide your
school with its own customized Google Earth Satellite Location Pin. It
actually provides your school with its own mini-webpage using the Google
Earth program as the enabling technology. It's really cool and you can read
more about it HERE <http://www.schoolreportservices.com/GEPin1.aspx> !
What's more, it's also darn affordable!

We've improved the general layout and navigation of the site. This
"hopefully" makes it much easier to find what you are looking for.

Lastly, we couldn't have all this new cool stuff without polishing our web
page presence. So we employed the services of a design company to give us
artistic guidance. They did the new branding you now see on the site. We
also reworked our content significantly!

All in all, we hope you like it. - Adam Phillips
