User Feedback
"We recently made the switch to Edlio and I'm now wondering what took us so long! They provide an amazingly rich and easy-to-navigate website that helps us better engage current families, as well as with outreach and marketing to new prospective families. The back-end features many robust tools and integrations, like a social media manager, e-forms & payments, calendar & teacher page subscriptions, voice + text, and many more...We at New Orleans College wholeheartedly recommend Edlio to other schools looking to boost parent engagement, reach prospective families, and streamline communications!"
—Troave Profice, director of communications and recruitment at New Orleans College Prep (NOLA College Prep)
“Over the years, Edlio has provided exemplary customer service and quality product in order to give our school one of the best websites in education...We appreciate that Edlio is always evolving and growing its product. I would encourage anyone to explore the different options, but I am certain they will find that Edlio’s technology, service, and commitment to innovation will come at a fraction of the price of the competition”
—Allison Bergeron, director of planned giving and major gifts officer at Mater Dei High School
"Edlio is the best product on the market for school websites. Their user interface is easy to use for our teachers and the integration with Google Classrooms makes it a no brainer for any educator. I think graphically Edlio is hands down better than any developer in the market and I love the features they have that add to the ease of use. I am taking advantage of the forms, and when my district is ready, I can see us moving towards the text messaging features they offer."
—Jacob Berry, district webmaster at McAllen ISD
