Why it matters
Your website is where families decide to visit
Parents compare schools online long before they book a tour. Students look at courses, entry requirements and results before they apply. If they cannot find term dates, admissions details or what makes you different, they move on to the next option on their list.
Education websites also have a lot of different audiences: prospective families, current parents, pupils, staff, governors and inspectors. Each group needs different information, and much of it has to be published and kept current. We plan the structure so every audience finds what they need in a few clicks.
Common problems we fix
- Parents phone the office for term dates, uniform or club information
- Policies and key documents that are out of date or hard to find
- Admissions and open day information buried several pages deep
- Websites only one member of staff knows how to update
- Slow, outdated sites that look poor on a phone
- Text, colours and PDFs that fail accessibility checks
What we build
Everything a modern education website needs
Every project is built around how families and students actually use the site: finding out about you, applying, and staying informed once they join.
- 01
Admissions & enquiries
Clear admissions pages with entry criteria, key dates, fees where relevant and simple enquiry forms that go straight to your admissions team.
- 02
Open day & tour booking
Event booking with limited places, automatic confirmation emails and reminders, so the office does not have to manage a spreadsheet.
- 03
Course finder
For colleges and training providers: searchable courses by subject, level and start date, each with entry requirements and an apply button.
- 04
Policies & key information
An organised area for policies, curriculum, results, Ofsted reports and other information schools are expected to publish online.
- 05
News, events & calendar
Term dates, events and news your staff can post in minutes, with a calendar parents can check or add to their phone.
- 06
Parent & student hubs
Quick links to letters, uniform, clubs, lunch menus, payments and the parent or learning platforms you already use.
- 07
Digital prospectus
An online prospectus with photos, video and downloadable PDFs, designed to give families a real feel for your setting.
- 08
Vacancies
A careers section with current roles, job packs and application details to help you attract the right staff.
- 09
Easy content management
A WordPress dashboard with simple roles, so office staff, teachers and leaders can update their own sections safely.
Trust & compliance
Safe, accessible and easy to keep compliant
We are a web agency, not a legal adviser, but we build every education website so that it supports your responsibilities rather than adding to them.
Published information
A clear structure for the information schools and colleges are expected to publish, so it is easy for families and inspectors to find and for staff to keep current.
Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
Readable text, strong colour contrast, keyboard navigation, captions for video and an accessibility statement page, so the site works for every family.
Safeguarding & privacy
No unnecessary pupil data on public pages, consent-aware photo use, secure forms, UK GDPR privacy notices and safeguarding contacts that are easy to find.
Security & maintenance
Managed hosting, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and regular plugin and security updates, so the site stays fast and protected.
Integrations
Works with the platforms your school already uses
We connect your website to the systems that run your school, so parents and students get to the right place without hunting for links.
Get found locally
SEO that brings in families and students
Families search for schools and courses near them, and students search by subject. We build your site to show up for the searches that lead to applications.
- Local SEO for searches such as “independent schools in Surrey”
- Course and subject pages planned around what students search for
- Structured data for your school, courses and events
- Optimised Google Business Profile with up-to-date details
- Fast loading and strong Core Web Vitals on mobile

FAQs
Education website questions
How much does a school or college website cost?
It depends on the size of the site, the number of documents to move across and the features you need, such as event booking or a course finder. After a short call we send a fixed quote with no hidden extras, which helps with budget approval.
How long does it take to build?
Most education websites take five to ten weeks from discovery to launch. We can plan the timeline so the new site goes live at the start of a term or before your open day season.
Can staff update the website without technical skills?
Yes. We build on WordPress with simple editing tools and user roles, and we train your staff so news, events, letters and policies can be updated in minutes.
Will the website meet accessibility standards?
We design and test against WCAG 2.2 AA, including colour contrast, text size, keyboard navigation and screen reader support, and we include an accessibility statement page.
Can you move our existing content and documents?
Yes. We move your pages, policies and documents to the new site, organise them properly and set up redirects so old links and search rankings keep working.
Do you build websites for multi-academy trusts?
Yes. We can build a trust website alongside individual school sites that share a consistent design, while each school keeps its own identity and content.
Can you build websites for online courses and training providers?
Yes. We build course websites with course pages, enrolment forms, online payments and links to your learning platform.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing hosting, maintenance, security updates and content changes, so your staff can focus on teaching rather than the website.
