Quick Launch

All [marketing] roads lead to your website.

Your website is only one stop in a family’s enrollment journey, but it’s a crucial one.

That’s why every Christian school needs a website intentionally crafted to attract and retain right-fit families. Unfortunately, building and maintaining such a website can be time-consuming, overwhelming, and expensive — especially for startups. That’s why we developed Launch Sites. 

With Launch Sites, we’ve combined experience in web development, copywriting, and Christian school marketing to make it easy for startups to launch a high-quality website quickly and affordably.

You don’t have to settle for a trial-and-error DIY nightmare, blow your budget, or wait months to get a great website. Contact Hourglass K12 and get ready to launch!
