Good school website design helps parents decide to enrol, keeps current families informed and saves your office time. Parents in Kenya now search online and judge a school by its website before they visit. I build school websites that answer their questions quickly on a phone and are easy for your staff to keep up to date.
Who I build school websites for
- Kindergartens and primary schools (CBC and international curricula)
- Secondary and high schools
- International schools
- Colleges, TVET institutions and training centres
- Tuition centres and online academies
Features a school website needs
Clear information for prospective parents
Curriculum, fees structure (if you publish it), facilities, transport, boarding, co-curricular activities, and how to apply, all reachable within one or two taps on a phone.
Online admissions and enquiry forms
Parents can apply or book a school visit online. Applications arrive in your email and in the admin area, so nothing gets lost on paper.
Fee payments with M-Pesa
Parents can pay application or school fees through M-Pesa integration or card, with automatic receipts.
News, events and calendar
Term dates, exam timetables, sports days and announcements that staff can post themselves in minutes.
Downloads
Prospectus, uniform lists, joining instructions, holiday assignments and newsletters as PDFs.
Gallery
Photos of facilities and events, organised by album, with guidance on child-safeguarding: get consent and avoid publishing students' names next to their photos.
Portals for parents, students and staff
Where needed, secure logins for results, assignments or circulars, built with membership features or a custom system.
Built for how parents actually browse
Most parents visit your site on a phone, often on mobile data. I build lightweight, fast pages, make the call and WhatsApp buttons easy to tap, and follow accessibility basics so everyone can use the site.
Getting found on Google
When parents search "best schools in [your area]" or your school's name, you want your own site to appear first. I set up proper titles, schema markup, Google Business Profile links and local SEO so your school shows up in local searches and on Maps.
Easy for staff to manage
Your secretary, ICT teacher or communications officer can update news, events and downloads without technical skills. I provide a short training session and written notes, and I offer maintenance plans if you'd rather I handle updates and security.
Domains and email for schools
Kenyan schools can use .sc.ke (primary and secondary) or .ac.ke (higher education) domains. I help with registration, hosting and professional school email addresses for staff.
How the project works
- A short call to understand your school, audience and must-have features.
- Site plan and design for your approval.
- Build, content upload and testing on phones.
- Staff training, launch and Google setup.
A simple school site can be ready from about 5 days; sites with admissions, payments or portals take weeks depending on requirements.
