Over the years, we’ve created websites and supported a wide range of educational institutions, from government schools including preschools, nurseries, primary and secondary schools, and academies, to extracurricular learning activities such as music and sports schools, sailing, football academies, swimming clubs, gymnastics schools, language schools, and home tutors.
School websites need to perform on multiple levels. They must look appealing and clearly communicate core messaging to attract the best parents and students, all while navigating a complex web of legal requirements and time constraints. Schools are legally responsible for keeping all website information accurate and current, especially in critical areas like admissions policies, academic results, and statutory documents.
As a small family team of parents with nine children spanning various ages from babies to adults, we bring extensive experience with different types of schools and a thorough understanding of Special Educational Needs (SEN).
The website should feature easy navigation, allowing users to quickly locate important information such as admissions details, academic calendars, and contact information. This simplicity ensures that visitors, whether they are prospective parents, current students, or staff, can find what they need without hassle.
Content management is crucial for keeping the website relevant and useful. The site should regularly display up-to-date information, including news and upcoming events, with a system that allows school staff to make updates easily without needing technical expertise. It’s also important to provide targeted content, so different user groups, such as students, parents, and staff, can access information tailored to their needs.
Interactive features enhance the website’s functionality and user engagement. Including tools like contact forms, newsletters, and live chat can improve communication between the school and its community. A well organized event calendar for school events and important announcements keeps everyone informed and connected.
Finally, we understand that your hardworking staff would appreciate the support of a web design agency that offers more than just the initial website setup. We provide ongoing assistance, proactive advice on potential updates, and swift resolution of any issues that might arise. Our goal is to ensure your website operates seamlessly and continues to meet your needs effectively.
