SNO’s WordPress provides easy navigation for beginning journalists who need upload basics and flexible enough for seasoned staffers who want to innovate. We love how reliable the site is and how quick we get responses when we have questions for SNO Support. I can’t imagine a better company to work with.

Kathryn Campbell, Director of PublicationsSt. Paul Academy and Summit School

I left my previous position to open a new school this year, and in the process of ordering equipment and software, my first decision was easy – I signed up for SNO.

Samantha Berry, AdviserBridgeland High School

Easily the best budget money I spend all year. The easiest to use WordPress site creation I’ve found. SNO Reports, site badges, specialized training – all of SNO is an incredible resource for my students.

Optional Add-on Features and Services

Rest assured: SNO sites are fully functional right out of the box. But when it comes to scholastic and collegiate news programs, we know one size definitely doesn’t fit all.

Maybe your “stories” look more like video broadcasts and photo essays. Maybe your news staff is passionate about sports coverage. Maybe you want to reach your audience with a mobile app and push notifications. Maybe you want to reinforce your brand with custom email addresses.

Choose the add-on bundles and features that make sense for you now or add them later.
