Websites for schools
School websites that fill classrooms.
Parents shortlist schools online long before they visit. Give them a site that feels like your school on a good day — and makes booking a tour the obvious next step.
- Admissions funnels
- Staff-editable news & events
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessible

The job
A school site has three jobs.
Win the shortlist
Prospective parents compare you with three other schools in one evening. Your programs, results and atmosphere have to come through fast — on a phone.
Turn interest into a tour
Inquiry, tour booking and application, each one click from wherever a parent lands, with the details your admissions team needs.
Keep current families informed
Calendars, announcements, forms and lunch menus in one place staff update themselves — so the front office stops answering the same questions.
The problem
Sound familiar?
The site hasn’t changed in years.
Old photos, last year’s calendar, a news page that stopped in spring. Parents notice — and wonder what else hasn’t been kept up.
Only one person can update it.
Every event, closure or newsletter waits on the one staff member who knows the CMS — or an outside vendor who bills by the hour.
Admissions inquiries slip through.
A generic contact form, an inbox shared by three people, and no way to tell which families asked for a tour and never heard back.
What we build
Everything it needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Admissions funnel
Inquiry forms, tour booking and application steps built as one clear path, with every inquiry routed straight to admissions.
Parent hub
Calendar, announcements, forms and key dates in one place — the page current families bookmark.
Programs that show the day
A page per program or stage that shows what a day actually looks like — not just a list of subjects.
News your staff can publish
A simple editor so teachers and the front office post news, events and galleries without a developer.
Accessible by default
Built to WCAG 2.1 AA — screen-reader friendly, keyboard navigable, proper contrast — because every family deserves to use it.
Multilingual when you need it
Language versions for the families you serve, with a one-tap switch — not a translation widget bolted on top.
The blueprint
The pages that pull their weight.
Our starting sitemap — we adjust it to how your business actually runs before anything gets designed.
Home
Your school at its best, key dates, and a “Book a tour” button above the fold.
About & mission
Your story, leadership, values and accreditation.
Programs
A page per stage or program: curriculum, a day in the life, outcomes.
Admissions
Process, tuition, key dates, FAQs and the inquiry form.
Book a tour
Pick a date, share a few details — admissions gets it instantly.
Parents
Calendar, announcements, forms, menus and policies.
News & events
Staff-published stories and galleries that keep the site alive.
Contact & campus
Map, directions, office hours and department contacts.
Built for US schools
Built for the standards schools are held to.
Accessibility deadlines
A 2024 federal rule sets WCAG 2.1 AA as the standard for public schools’ websites, and private schools are increasingly held to the same bar. We build to it from day one.
Enrollment starts with search
“Private schools near me” and district-by-district comparisons start on Google. School structured data and a tuned Business Profile help you show up.
Student privacy
No student data on public pages, careful handling of photo consent, and forms that collect only what admissions actually needs.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- How much does a school website cost?
- It depends on the number of programs and sections, languages, and integrations like your student information system. We quote a fixed price after a short call, before anything starts.
- Can our staff update the website themselves?
- Yes. News, events, calendars and galleries are edited through a simple editor — no code — and we train your team at launch.
- Is the site accessible (WCAG / ADA)?
- We build to WCAG 2.1 AA — the standard the 2024 federal rule sets for public schools — and run keyboard and screen-reader checks before launch.
- Can the site handle admissions and tour booking?
- Yes. Inquiry forms, tour scheduling and application steps are built into the site and route straight to your admissions team, so no family goes unanswered.
- What about grades, attendance and tuition billing?
- That’s school management software rather than a website — and we build that too. Our schools platform handles enrollment, attendance, grading, billing and parent communication, and connects to the site.
