FAQ - Free Trial
Here are some common questions and answers that come up during the free trial.
Q: Can we use our own photos in the banner?
A: Absolutely!
During the trial, you get generic banner pics, but when we build your "real" KiwiSchools site, you'll get a unique design including, of course, your own logo, colours and photos. Photos can then be updated any time you like... e.g. during your free once a term update!
Q: How long does the trial last?
A: At this stage, we have not put a limit on the trial. We'll be in touch with you during the trial, we'll help out with tips and ideas to try, and we hope you'll find KiwiSchools so easy to use that you'll choose us sooner rather than later! Obviously, we reserve the right to limit the lifetime of any trial which goes on and on... it's a test drive, after all!
Q: How much does KiwiSchools cost?
A: Ah, the $64,000 question!

Q: I keep hearing about LMS (Learning Management Systems) Where does an LMS fit into our website?
A: Very nicely, is the short answer. We offer schools a fully-supported implementation of the world's best LMS, Moodle. with over 32 million users in over 205 countries (True!) It's called DiscoveryZone, and you can find out more at www.discoveryzone.co.nz
The best news is that your website links to your LMS, and both will soon be fully integrated - perfect!
Q: Why should we choose KiwiSchools over other website providers?
A: Good question! Here are some factors we suggest you consider:
- Most importantly: Our customers like what we offer
- KiwiSchools is easy to use. It's been designed from scratch to make life easier for busy teachers!
- All we do is school websites, intranets and LMS - all the features you get are have proven value in NZ schools
- We have well over ten years' experience working with NZ schools.
- Many of our customers have been with us since "day one"
- We've build over 200 websites for NZ schools
- The updated KiwiSchools 2.0 platform, launched in late 2009, is incredibly powerful, feature-rich and future-proof. We think you'd be hard pressed to find anything better, worldwide.
Q: What happens to all the content we add during the trial - can we keep it if we choose KiwiSchools at the end?
A: Yes! All the pages, events, etc you add will transfer automatically to the new site.
