What an educational website can include

Schedules and news. Timetables, events and announcements your staff can update.
Teachers and staff. Profiles with qualifications, which also build trust in search results.

Website, online school or LMS?

A school or college usually needs an information site with admissions and news. A course provider that sells online needs course pages, payment and access to lessons; see online school website development. An institution that manages students, schedules, attendance and payments in one place needs an LMS. Our LMS Bonyas University case shows such a system: schedules, attendance, payments, exams and staff management in one cabinet.

How an educational website is built

Audiences and goals. Who uses the site and which actions matter.
Structure. Programmes, admissions, schedules, accounts.
Design. Clear, accessible layout for desktop and mobile.
Build and integrations. CMS, forms, payments, LMS or accounts.
Content and launch. Pages filled, staff trained, site published.

How long does an educational website take?

An information site for a school, college or training centre takes up to 10 working days after the specification is agreed and we receive texts, photos and programme details.

Online course platforms with payments, student accounts, an LMS or integrations with Moodle or Google Classroom are larger projects. For them we set the timeline after the specification and plan the launch in stages, starting with the public site.

What affects the cost of an educational website

We quote after the specification. The main factors:

number of programmes, pages and language versions;
student or parent accounts and roles;
online payment and course access rules;
LMS development or integration with an existing one;
content preparation: texts, photos, video.

What we need from you

A list of programmes or courses with descriptions and requirements.
Admission rules, documents and dates.
Photos of premises, events and staff, with consent to publish.
Who will update news and schedules after launch.

What you get and how we measure it

We set up measurement for the actions that matter to an educational institution:

applications and sign-ups by programme in GA4;
course page visibility in Search Console;
accessibility and mobile checks before launch;
staff able to update news and schedules without a developer.

Why an educational site needs a studio

Common problems on school and course sites:

outdated admission information that brings calls instead of applications;
PDF-only programme descriptions that do not rank in Google;
personal data of students collected without proper consent and protection;
no clear owner of the content, so the site stops being updated.

Working with a Kyiv team remotely

We work remotely with companies in the UK, the EU and North America: video calls, email, Telegram or WhatsApp, and shared documents for plans and reports. Kyiv is on UTC+2 (UTC+3 in summer), so our working day covers most of the UK and EU business day and the morning on the US East Coast. You get one project manager who is responsible for the timeline.
