I'd like to start out by talking about my classroom website. While I know that websites for teachers aren't really anything new, the company I use is for teachers directly. I've tried using Google sites, but was not really happy with the limited templates and page types.
Someone turned me towards a site called Teacherweb. Now while this site isn't free to use, it is very reasonable. I pay only have to pay $40 for a year subscription.
This site is really geared towards teachers and what type of pages they would use. You can create basic pages of text, where you can insert hyperlinks for other websites, or files for students to view or download. There is another type of page where I can create quizzes to be take directly on the site, and answers are corrected and sent to my email. A brand new feature called NEWSFLASH is a page where parents and students can subscribe an email or mobile phone number, and then I can send out messages directly to them. If you have some basic HTML knowledge, you can edit that as well, (I use that function for embedding videos directly on the site instead of hyperlinks).
Overall I think that it is a great value, and a great resource to easy create and manage a classroom website that is designed for teachers.
