A whole school, invented, and open to you
Not a slideshow and not a video. This is the software itself, running the same release a school would install, with a year of records behind it: classes, staff, families, registers, marks, invoices and a website. Sign in as anyone below and change whatever you like.

Four people, four different views of the same school. The parent cannot see another family's child, and the teacher cannot see a class they do not teach — that is not a demo restriction, it is how the system works.
Head teacher — the office
- head@demo.startosoft.com
- Password

Everything: admissions, fees, results, certificates, the website and the settings.
Class teacher
- teacher@demo.startosoft.com
- Password
- Demo@12345
Their own register, homework, mark sheets and timetable — and nothing belonging to another class.
Parent
- parent@demo.startosoft.com
- Password
- Demo@12345
Attendance, homework, published results, fee statement and meeting booking, for their children only.
Student
- student@demo.startosoft.com
- Password
- Demo@12345
Their own timetable, homework, attendance and report cards.
Sign-in codes by email are switched off on the demo so you are not waiting on an inbox. On a real installation, office accounts confirm sign-in with a code.
Five minutes that show more than an hour of slides
Change the website's colours
As the head teacher, open Website → Theme, change the brand colour and save. Then load the school's website. That is the whole process — no agency, no deployment.
Publish a news item
Write one in Website → News. It is on the public home page before you have finished switching tabs.
Try to break attendance
Mark a register, then go back and change a day from last month. It will ask you for a reason and keep both versions.
Take a fee payment
Collect part of an invoice and look at the receipt number. Then try to reverse your own payment — it refuses, and tells you why.
Publish a result
Approve the outstanding mark sheets for a term, publish, then sign in as the parent and watch it appear. Before that, it is simply not there.
Look for someone else's child
As the parent, try to open a student who is not yours. You will get "not found", not "not allowed" — the record is outside the question you are permitted to ask.
About this demo
Every name, family, mark and payment in it is invented. No real child's record is anywhere on the demo server, and none ever will be — a demonstration is not a reason to move children's data somewhere it does not belong.
The demo is reset on a schedule, so what you change is wiped and the next visitor sees a clean school. Do not keep anything there.
It runs the same release we ship. When a new version goes out, it goes here first — if something is wrong, it is wrong on our demo before it is wrong in a school.
Would you rather be shown around?
A walkthrough is about forty minutes, with your own questions and your own school's situation — how many classes, how fees are collected, what your report card looks like. We can load a sample of your own data into a private instance for it.
