/parents can trust
We design websites for schools and colleges that show programmes, faculty, events and every required disclosure in one tidy place. Your office posts notices and circulars itself, so the site stays current through the academic year.

School & college websites,explained without jargon.
What makes a school or college website different from a business website?
One idea at a time. Each sheet lays over the last, so the picture builds up. Tap a number to jump.
It works like a well-run school reception: a notice board, a prospectus rack and a filing cabinet of certificates, all labelled so visitors find what they came for.
An institution's site serves several audiences at once: parents choosing a school, students checking timetables, staff posting circulars and inspectors looking for required documents.
Boards and regulators expect certain details to be published, such as CBSE's mandatory public disclosure for affiliated schools or the disclosure pages that UGC and AICTE ask colleges to keep.
The site also changes every week with events, results and notices.
So the structure has to make each audience's path obvious and make updating easy for non-technical staff.
Heard yourself say this?Count how many fit.
Five things owners tell us before a project like this starts. Every one you recognise adds a tally mark.
Tap the lines you have said this year.
One fits. Worth a short call to see if School & college websites is the right fix.
Two fit. A short call will tell you whether to do this now or later.
Three fit. This is probably worth planning soon.
Four fit. You are losing time to this already.
All five. This page was written for you.
Six parts,all handed over to you.
Your School & college websites work is made of these six parts. The comb lights each one in turn; tap a cell to read it.
Programme and department pages
A consistent template for each grade band, stream, course or department, with eligibility, intake, duration and contact person. Departments fill in their own sections from the CMS.
Faculty directory
Searchable profiles by department with qualifications, subjects and publications, shown only with each teacher's consent. Profiles can be marked inactive when someone leaves, without breaking links.
Regulatory disclosure section
A dedicated area for CBSE mandatory public disclosure, or the UGC, AICTE and NAAC pages a college keeps, with each document tagged by validity date. The CMS warns your office when a certificate such as fire safety or building safety is nearing renewal.
Events calendar and galleries
Upcoming events with dates, venue and registration links, and past events with compressed photo galleries that load quickly on phones. Each event can carry a short report for your records.
Notices and circulars
Dated notices filed by audience such as parents, students or staff, with PDF attachments and an archive by academic year. Older notices drop off the home page automatically.
Search and accessibility basics
Page titles, structured data for your institution and events, a sitemap for Google Search Console and readable contrast and text sizes. We check the main pages against common accessibility guidelines before launch.

Four legs of one relay,about 8 weeks, start to finish.
Each leg is sized by how long it usually takes. Watch the baton go round, or tap a leg to jump there.
The question we hear most:WordPress or a headless CMS for your institution?
The board turns through each option. Tap one to hold it and read the trade-off.
You are a single school or a small college and want staff to edit pages in a familiar editor.
It needs regular plugin and security updates, so it suits you best with a care plan or an in-house person who handles updates.
You are a large college or group of schools with many departments and want fast pages with fewer moving parts to patch.
Setup takes longer, and adding new page types later needs a developer.
You only need a basic presence and your ERP vendor already includes a site.
You get little control over design, search settings and disclosure layout.
Four factors,four corners of your project.
Each corner grows when that factor is on the larger side. The outline is your project's footprint, and the quote follows it.
A compact project. The smallest footprint for your quote.
Mostly compact, with one area that needs more work.
A balanced build. Half the factors on each side.
A larger build. Most areas need extra work and time.
The full footprint. Every factor on the larger side.
Picture a business like yours,in three frames.
A typical situation, not a client story. The line in each frame goes from tangled to straight as the work is done.

Four things that trip a project,and the fix we fit instead.
Each fuse is a mistake we see often. Watch it blow and get replaced, or tap a fuse to read the fix.
Uploading disclosure documents as unreadable phone photos
Scan each certificate as a clear PDF and list its key details as text on the page so inspectors and parents can read it.
Publishing student photos without checking consent
Keep a consent record for every student who appears in galleries and remove photos when consent is withdrawn.
Letting the home page fill with old notices
Give every notice an expiry date so the home page shows only what is current.
Changing URLs at relaunch without redirects
Map every old page and PDF link to its new address so search results and shared links keep working.
School & college websites questions,answered plainly.
Search the answers. If yours is missing, ask us on the call.
Getting startedWhat does CBSE expect on a school website?
CBSE asks affiliated schools to publish a mandatory public disclosure with details such as affiliation, recognition, safety certificates, staff, results and infrastructure. The exact list is set by CBSE and has changed through circulars, so we build the section from the latest format you confirm. Please check the current requirement with your adviser or CBSE regional office.
Getting startedWe are a college. Which disclosure pages do we need?
Colleges usually keep pages for UGC public self-disclosure, AICTE mandatory disclosure if they run approved technical programmes, and NAAC items such as the IQAC page and reports. Which ones apply depends on your affiliation and programmes, so check with your adviser. We set up the structure and your office uploads the documents.
Cost & timeHow long does a school website take, and what changes the cost?
A single school site usually takes 5 to 8 weeks. Cost grows with the number of departments or campuses, how many documents and old notices need moving, and extra languages. Tell us the campuses, departments and documents to move, and the website quote reaches you within 48 hours.
OwnershipWho owns the website and the domain?
Your institution owns the domain, hosting account, code and content. We set them up in your name, or move them into your name if a previous vendor holds them. You can take the site to another developer at any time.
Getting startedCan teachers post notices without seeing everything else?
Yes. We create roles so a teacher can post notices for their class or department while only the office can edit fees or disclosure pages. Every change is logged with the person's name and time.
Getting startedCan we show board results and toppers?
You can, with written consent from each student and parent, and only results you can back with official records. Many schools show aggregate results by subject instead of naming individual students.
Getting startedWill the site work on slow mobile connections?
We compress images, keep pages light and test on mid-range Android phones over a throttled connection. Galleries load photos as the visitor scrolls.
After launchWhat happens after launch?
Your staff run daily updates from the CMS. On a monthly care plan we handle software updates, backups, uptime checks and a renewal reminder for disclosure documents, and you can cancel anytime.
Works well alongside,from the same industry kit.
