We already have a website or our State Education Department provides a website for us. Can we still use Schoolground?
Yes, in a number of ways. You do not need to choose one system over the other - you can benefit from both. Cherry-pick the most desirable features from every solution to obtain whatever works best for your school and your community, whether this comes from Facebook, Google, or Schoolground.com.au.
Can we keep our existing website but still use the sub-sites?
Yes. Simply create a hyperlink from your own website to your Schoolground classroom sites.
We already have our own web address (domain name). Can we use it?
Yes. Your own web address can be linked to display your new website on the Schoolground platform..
We want to change the URL you have provided for us (eg sportsground.com.au/yourschoolname)
Once you have logged into your site, simply navigate to the dashboard and select "Admin Settings". You will see a field named "Easy Web Address". Simply change this to your preferred choice eg sportsground.com.au/wecallourschoolthis and then select "Save". Provided your choice is not already in use by another organisation, your URL has now been changed.

Will my site show on Google and other search engines?
Google and other search engines have automated processes that constantly crawl the internet to find new and changed websites to include in their search results. It may take a number of weeks before your site is found. It is generally agreed that one of the most important things you can do to improve your rankings with Google and other search engines is to list your web address on other people's websites. This is because Google uses a 'trust' system that improves the ranking of your site based upon the number of other sites that have links to your site. We recommend you take some time to get your site listed in as many online directories and other websites as possible.You might also want to look at using metadata to improve google search results.
