Worked with

Problems we solve

Does your school website reflect the school parents see in person?

Parents research schools online before they visit. An outdated website, missing information or a broken enquiry form can cost admissions.

  1. 01

    Outdated and slow

    An old design that doesn't work well on phones, where most parents browse.

  2. 02

    Information hard to find

    Fees, admissions, curriculum and transport details are buried or missing.

  3. 03

    Enquiries lost

    Admission enquiries arrive by phone and form, and nobody tracks the follow-up.

  4. 04

    Parents call for everything

    Circulars, homework, results and fee dues are communicated by calls and paper.

Our solution

A school website and parent portal that work together

A clear, fast website for prospective parents, and a secure portal for current families, connected so information is published once.

  • Built for admissions

    Clear admission steps, fee information where you choose to share it, virtual tours and enquiry forms that feed a tracker.

  • Easy for staff to update

    Staff update news, events, galleries and circulars without a developer.

  • Portals for families

    Attendance, homework, results, circulars and fee status in one place for parents.

Guide

School website design: a practical guide

What parents look for on a school website

Parents want to know the school's approach, curriculum, results, facilities, safety, transport, fees and how to apply. They also look for signs of a living school: recent news, events and photos.

Make these easy to find on a phone, and include a simple way to ask a question or book a visit.

Admissions pages that convert

Explain the admission process step by step, important dates, required documents and who to contact. A short enquiry form with a follow-up process turns interest into visits.

Track enquiries so none are lost during busy admission seasons.

Photos, privacy and student data

Real photos build trust, but take care with images of children: follow your consent policy and avoid publishing personal details.

Portals holding student data need secure logins, role-based access and backups.

Keeping the website alive

Give staff an easy editor and a simple routine for posting news, events and circulars. An updated site signals an active school.

Review the website before each admission season.

The pages every school website needs

Most parents look for the same information, so a clear structure matters more than clever design. A typical school website includes a home page, about the school (vision, history and leadership), academics and curriculum, admissions, fees or a fee enquiry route, facilities, transport, faculty, achievements and results, news and events, a photo gallery, mandatory disclosures where they apply, careers and contact details with a map.

Each page should answer the questions parents actually ask, in plain language, with a clear next step such as booking a visit or sending an enquiry. Navigation should be simple enough that a parent on a phone finds admissions in one or two taps.

Mobile-first design and speed

Most parents open a school website on a phone, often from a search result, a WhatsApp link or a social media post. Pages should load quickly on mobile data, text should be readable without zooming, and buttons to call, message or enquire should be easy to tap.

Large photo galleries and videos are the usual cause of slow school websites. Images should be compressed and sized for phones, and galleries loaded only when a visitor opens them. Speed also helps search visibility.

Helping nearby parents find your school

Parents usually search for schools near them, for example by area or city. A complete Google Business Profile with the correct name, address, phone, photos and hours is as important as the website itself, and both should show the same details.

On the website, clear pages for each campus or branch, structured data that describes the school, and genuine content about academics and activities help search engines understand what the school offers and where. Encourage parents to leave honest reviews, and reply to them.

Accessibility and clarity for every parent

A school website should work for parents with different abilities, devices and languages. Good colour contrast, readable font sizes, descriptive link text, alt text on images and forms that work with screen readers make the site easier for everyone.

If many parents prefer a regional language, consider key pages such as admissions and contact in that language as well. Simple, jargon-free writing helps all parents, including those reading in their second language.

Website first, or school management software first?

The website is for prospective parents and the public. School management software is for running the school: attendance, fees, timetables and report cards. Many schools start with a strong website and admissions tracking, then add a parent portal and fee payments once the basics are working.

If the school already uses a school ERP, the website can link to its parent login, or share information such as circulars and events where the ERP allows it. There is no need to replace a system that works well.

What affects the cost of a school website

Costs depend on the number of pages, custom design, admission features, portal and fee modules, content preparation and support.

We don't publish fixed prices or packages. After a strategy call, we send a written proposal with a customised quotation.
