Schools
Digital infrastructure for schools: public-facing information, admissions, and internal systems that staff can maintain themselves.
A school's website has to do two contradictory jobs at once: reassure prospective families with a professional first impression, and serve as daily working infrastructure for staff who are not developers. Most school websites fail at the second job — content goes stale because updating it requires someone who knows HTML. We build for the person who has to update the lunch menu on a Tuesday afternoon, not just for the open-house visitor.
- Independent and private schools managing admissions digitally for the first time
- Schools whose current site is maintained by a single staff member with no technical background
- Administrators consolidating parent communication, enrollment forms and staff resources into one system
- Public websites structured around admissions and parent information
- Delegated content editing so office staff can update pages without a developer
- Enrollment and inquiry forms that route to the right staff member
- Secure staff or parent portals where the school needs one
- Purchasing decisions typically involve administrators, not developers
- Accessibility and compliance requirements
- Content structured for parents, staff and prospective families separately
We design the content structure around who actually edits it — front office staff, department heads, admissions — before we design how it looks. A school site that only the original developer can update becomes a liability within a year.
Before you reach out.
That's the design requirement, not an afterthought. We build the CMS around the specific people who'll use it, with a short walkthrough at handoff rather than a manual nobody reads.
Yes — inquiry and enrollment forms that route to the right staff inbox are a standard part of an institutional website build.
Yes, we audit existing content during discovery and carry over what's still accurate, rather than starting from a blank page.
