Education Website Development & Design
Our education website development work builds sites for K-12 schools, districts, colleges and training providers that serve many audiences at once. If the school's logo and identity need work as well, see our education branding service. A prospective family, a current parent checking a snow day, a student looking for a form and a teacher posting news all use the same site. Each one should find what they need in a few clicks.

Key takeaways
- An alert banner the office can switch on handles weather closings and urgent news.
- User roles let a teacher update a class page but not the home page, with central review before anything goes live.
- Forms avoid collecting student data on public pages and point families to secure portals instead.
Many Audiences, One Site
School and college sites carry more audiences than almost any other kind of site. Prospective families and students want programs, tuition and how to apply. Current families want calendars, lunch menus, bus routes and closing alerts. Staff need resources. Alumni and donors want news and a way to give.
We plan navigation around those groups and their top tasks, not around your org chart. Audience paths on the home page, a strong site search and a short list of quick links do much of the work. An alert banner your office can switch on handles weather closings and urgent news.
Many families read the site in a language other than English, so we plan for translation from the start.
Accessibility Rules for Public Schools and Colleges
Accessibility is a legal requirement for public schools and colleges, not a nice extra. In 2024, the Department of Justice issued a rule under Title II of the ADA. It sets WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the standard for the web content of state and local governments, including public schools and public colleges. Section 504 also applies to schools that receive federal funds.
We work toward WCAG 2.2 AA conformance and test with keyboard navigation and screen readers. We also train your editors, because most accessibility problems appear after launch, in posted PDFs, images without alt text and videos without captions.
For an audit of your current site, see our website accessibility service. Child care centers and preschools can see our daycare marketing page. Companies selling learning products to schools can see our edtech marketing page.
What Our Education Web Design Covers
Scope depends on your institution, but most projects include these parts.
Admissions and Enrollment
Program pages, tuition and aid details, visit requests and inquiry forms tied to your admissions CRM. To bring more inquiries to those forms, see our education lead generation service.
Calendars and News
Shared calendars by school, team or department, with feeds families can subscribe to.
Program and Course Catalogs
Searchable program pages that pull from a single source, so details stay consistent. Our education content writing service can write the page copy.
Directories
Staff and department directories your HR or office team can keep current.
Portal Links
Clear links to your student information system, learning platform and payment tools.
Many Editors, Student Privacy and Safe Publishing
Schools often have dozens of people who post content. We set up user roles so a teacher can update a class page but not the home page, and a central team can review before anything goes live. Page templates keep layouts consistent no matter who edits.
Student privacy shapes the build. FERPA limits what student records can be shared. COPPA applies when an online service collects personal information from children under 13. We keep forms short, avoid collecting student data on public pages and point families to secure portals instead. Student photos and names appear only in line with your district's media release and opt-out policies.
Working With an Education Website Designer
Step 1: We run discovery with families, students and staff to learn their top tasks. Step 2: We plan the site map and content model, then design key templates for approval. Step 3: We build on a CMS your editors can use, migrate content and test accessibility. Step 4: We train editors and launch, usually during a break in the school calendar.
A single education website designer can help with a small private school site. Districts and colleges usually need a wider scope that covers content migration, integrations and accessibility testing. Education website builds start at $1,000. Larger sites are quoted after discovery. If your current site is outdated, our website redesign service handles the move without breaking old links.
We do not promise enrollment numbers. See all our web design services.

Education Web Design Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Ask us anything else on the free audit call.
Most schools launch during summer or a long break, when traffic and staff workload are lower. We plan backward from that date and agree on content deadlines early.
The DOJ's 2024 Title II rule sets WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the standard for public schools and colleges. Compliance dates depend on the size of the government entity. Your legal counsel can confirm which date applies to you.
Yes. We set up roles and templates so teachers can edit their pages without changing the rest of the site. We train them and provide a short guide.
In most cases, yes. We connect inquiry and visit forms to admissions CRMs that accept form data or offer an integration. We test the data flow before launch.
We can add a translation tool for broad coverage and professional translation for key pages like enrollment and safety. We design layouts that work when text gets longer in another language.
