School website design

School website design for elementary and high schools: admissions, programs, policies and news, with a free .ca domain and hosting. From $19.99 a month. See your new website first. Pay only when you approve it.

What does a school website need?

Clear admissions information, an honest picture of the school and news that's kept up to date. A family's first visit is now to your website, not your building.

01

Enhance your parental engagement

Admissions, open houses, deadlines and each step of the process in one well-organized section, with an inquiry form that goes straight to the school office.

02

Design that delivers

Kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school, your mission, staff and facilities, presented with clear copy and well-edited photos: what a family weighs up before applying.

03

Working with you

Publish newsletters, events and achievements yourselves from a simple dashboard, or email them to us and we'll add them. An up-to-date website tells families the school is on top of things too.

What should be published on a school website?

What families look for first: contact details and school hours, admissions information, the programs you offer, the school calendar, your policies, news, and the school's mission and values.

We give each item its own clearly labelled page so nothing is hard to find, and the school supplies the documents. What a school has to publish depends on its province, its school board and the type of school, so we follow the list your school gives us.

  • Admissions and open houses clearly shown
  • Mission, programs, grades and staff
  • News, newsletters and an activities gallery
  • Contact page with school hours and office details

School website design services

To be clear about what's included: our service is the school's public website, the one families and prospective students visit. We don't build intranets, learning platforms or student information systems.

If the school already uses a parent portal or learning platform, we link to it from the website with a visible button so families and students can log in with one click.

  • Yes: design, copy, photos, inquiry form and publishing
  • Yes: a login button for the platform the school already uses
  • No: our own intranet, virtual classroom or grading system
  • Simple process: send your logo, photos and basic copy, and we build the rest

School website design FAQs

What policies should be on a school website?

Commonly the code of conduct, the complaints procedure, the privacy policy and the accessibility plan. The exact list depends on your province, your school board and the type of school, so check it against what applies to you.

The policies are your own documents: we give each one a clear place on the website and you can replace a file yourself when it's updated.

Can I update my website?

If the school already has a website, we can redesign it with the Business plan at $29.99 a month, moving across the content that still matters. Once it's live, whoever is in charge can publish letters, events and photos from a simple dashboard, with a step-by-step written guide.

And if you'd rather not touch it, just email us and we'll make the changes for you.

Private school website design

A private school usually wants the same pages plus tuition fees, open houses, the application process and a news section. We build those pages and the school provides its policies.

We work by email with schools in every province, and you review the finished website on a real link before paying.
