What you can do here


Information for Contributors

Contributors are organisations or individuals wanting to support their schools.

This is the place to see the entries made. We do not charge viewers to see any thing here.

This site allows businesses and individuals to spport their schools by advertising their businesses or interests. They can outline their products and services in text and photos. We do not tell the advertiser who or how many have looked at their entry, but visitors can comment on their offering by emailing them.

The pages show an image that can be uncovered by moving your mouse over the individual entries, to display your name, message and a small photo or logo and attach a web page - that you create on here - to describe your company - you can also link to any relevant websites you already have to further promote your products and services. Entries by individuals show their name, message and a small photo but no further details.

Your entry will remain here for as least one year but you can change it whenever you wish.

Pop up message area

This is the information displayed whenever the user's mouse passes over the 'marker' left by the advertiser on the main image. Markers are coloured sections of the main image amongst the monochrome and unused sections. The marker is 1 or more of the squares on the grid covering the main image - the information contains the name of the advertiser, a short message from that advertiser - which should be interesting enough to persuade the user to look for more information - and a logo or photograph supplied by the advertiser. The message may be any length of relatively unformatted text but usually is less than 250 characters.

Secondary information page

This is a web page - built by the advertiser using the excellent software we provide - that is shown whenever the user clicks their mouse while showing the pop up message information. It can contain more messages concerning the cause and the advertiser's best wishes plus lots of photographs, graphics, email links and a number of web site links that are to external sites containing the advertising information for the advertiser. The page can be coloured and the content arranged quite comprehensively to make these pages attractive.

External web sites

These are the normal and complete web sites of the advertiser containing all the information published, informing, advising and promoting everything done, offered or planned by the advertiser. These external and pre-existing sites could have cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and could be selling sites for products and services offered. They could have many pages and hundreds of photographs and illustrations.
