<p>Which school do you think has the best website? What made it useful/cool/unique?</p>
<p>The Peddie School
The Hill School</p>
<p>Design is OK, but the info as you drill through it is thorough...</p>

<p>St. Paul's definitely has the best website. It's awesome.</p>
<p>I kind of like Choate's website. The design is nice and the info is complete and thorough.</p>

<p>Many boarding schools use WhippleHill to design and create websites: <a href="http://www.whipplehill.com/default.asp?bhcp=1%5B/url%5D">http://www.whipplehill.com/default.asp?bhcp=1</a> . Both Peddie and SPS use this agency. Generally, there is a good agency behind good websites and brochures. One thing I noticed about their websites is that they do not emphasize grounds, which can be quite spectacular.</p>
<p>Middlesex has also used Whipplhill. I believe The Peddie School website has won awards for its design. SPS website is good, but not great</p>
<p>I read somewhere that SPS got second place for the best education website or something, after Harvard Business School.</p>
<p>This may be the same award that Peddie was best. They all seem to run together after awhile. They all rpovide pretty much the same stuff.</p>
<p>We (Exeter) just had our website redone and I find it absolutely hideous. It is, furthermore, hard to find things or use anything on it. They even (over the summer) changed the backend for student services (transcript, comments, that sort of hting) and made that equally ugly and ungainly. A good amount of money put to bad use, I'm sure. More colorful, less useful.</p>
<p>I checked out the peddie website when I met someone who went there, and also the SPS website after a debate there (rather, while looking up info for aforesaid debate) and was impressed with both of them.</p>
<p>Anybody have a chance to look at The Hill web site? I found this site to be quite extensive. I looked at Exeter's and got dizzy, I think it's worse than the previous site.</p>
<p>By the way, just goes to show you that a school like Exeter doesn't need a stellar web site to be a top school.</p>
<p>Another observation, recently we received the new view book from "The Governors Academy", with the view book they had a dvd that I found to be quite nice. The DVD alone will get them apps.</p>
<p>Blair's new website is also very nice.</p>
<p>Blair's new website is nice. The prior one was hideous.
I personally like The Hotchkiss' site: <a href="http://www.hotchkiss.org%5B/url%5D">www.hotchkiss.org</a></p>
<p>How about the best school video?
If you go to the site <a href="http://www.schoolfair.tv%5B/url%5D">www.schoolfair.tv</a> you can see videos produced by most of the schools. They might be outdated, and of course each one is promoting the school, but if you haven't yet visited schools you will get a first glimpse, first feel of the school even before you go and visit. These videos are the same you can find on the schools' sites. They are just grouped here. I think its nice.</p>
<p>I like Deerfield's video.</p>
<p>It takes a while to watch them.
So far, I like Middlesex and Exeter's videos.</p>
<p>Deerfield's web site is also nice.</p>
<p>I just finished watching Middlesex's video. It seems pretty cool.</p>
<p>I Agree with the comments about Exeter's site. The colors are odd and it's too busy.</p>
<p>It's on my list of things to obnoxiously protest once we get back to school.</p>
<p>I couldn't find the Middlesex video. Help?</p>
