School Website Design That Fills Places and Reassures Parents

School website design cost depends on the size of the institution, how many year groups or courses need pages, and how much existing content has to be migrated. A single primary school sits well below a university faculty site or a multi-academy trust. Every school website design project includes build, migration, training and two years of maintenance, and you get a fixed quote after discovery. Tell us about your school.

Yes, and for schools this matters more than almost anything else. We build the website so your office can publish a letter, change a term date, add a news item or update a policy in minutes without touching code or calling us. Training and written documentation are included, and in our experience a site the office cannot update becomes out of date within a term.

We build to WCAG 2.1 AA as standard: heading structure, alt text, keyboard navigation, colour contrast and readable documents. Educational institutions are generally treated as covered entities for web accessibility, so this is a compliance matter rather than a preference. We also show your staff how to keep new content accessible, since most failures appear after launch rather than at it.

Yes. Each school gets its own distinct site or section with its own identity, staff, policies and news, while the trust keeps consistent structure and central governance information. Shared components keep the cost down without making every school look identical, which defeats the purpose.

Six to ten weeks for most schools. Universities and colleges with large course catalogues run longer, usually twelve to twenty weeks, because the course pages are the bulk of the work. We plan launches around term dates rather than dropping a new site mid-admissions.

Yes, and we are honest about what is worth bringing. Most school sites carry years of outdated letters and dead pages. We migrate the content with ongoing value, redirect the URLs that hold search visibility, and archive the rest rather than carrying clutter into a new build.

Yes. University website design and college website design are structurally different projects from primary school website design, driven by course catalogues, faculty structures and application journeys. We also handle higher education SEO, because course-level search visibility is where most institutions lose applicants they never knew they had.

Yes. Enquiry forms, open day booking, prospectus requests and full online enrolment with payment where it applies, integrated with the systems your office already uses so nothing has to be retyped.

Basic search optimisation is built into every build: clean structure, fast loading, local signals and pages targeting what families actually search. For universities and colleges competing on course searches we offer ongoing SEO services, which is usually where the real applicant growth comes from.

We scope the school website design to the institution you actually run. A village primary does not need higher education website design architecture. Simplified packages and flexible payment plans are available, and we will tell you if fixing your current site would serve you better this year than replacing it.
