Website design & development for Mountainview High
I just had a meeting with our international director and thought I’d give you some feedback on the website. We’ve had about a dozen international students’ parents and agents specifically tell us that they chose Mountainview High because the website looks so professional, warm and welcoming. The enrolments from those people have brought about $400,000 into the school so far.
