We build education websites for schools, colleges, universities, learning institutions and libraries. Education web design has a structural problem that most industries do not face: a single site serves prospective students, current students, parents, staff and often donors, and each of them arrives wanting something different.
Several audiences, one site, no collisions
The information architecture does most of the work here. Paths are kept separate so a prospective student researching programs is not wading through internal notices, and a parent looking for a calendar is not reading admissions marketing. Getting this right is what makes the difference between a site people use and one they call the office instead of using.
When a brochure site is not enough
We build application and enrollment portals, student-facing forms and custom database systems when the process needs to be handled online end to end rather than as a PDF download. Day to day, your own staff keep calendars, news, staff listings and program pages current through the content management system, without going through a technical gatekeeper.
Accessibility is not optional here
Educational institutions serve people with a wide range of needs and are frequently held to a formal standard on it. We build with accessible markup, readable contrast and keyboard navigation as a matter of course rather than as an add-on, which also happens to be what search engines reward. If you have an existing site with accessibility problems, that is something we can assess and fix rather than rebuild from scratch.
We have been building and hosting websites since 1999, and we work with institutions where a website is one part of a wider system rather than a standalone brochure. If you need a site, a portal, or an honest assessment of what you already have, contact us using the support button at the top of any page.
