Innovative web design for schools: Engage, Impress, Convert

Prospective parents start their research by visiting your school’s website

Your website is the first impression most families form of your school — and it’s referred to more often than any other piece of school marketing. At MAPS, we design school websites that make that first impression count, helping you attract new families and grow enrolments.

A well-designed website is the foundation of any school’s digital marketing. Our team creates sites that do more than present information for parents and students; they work as marketing tools that showcase your school and support your enrolment goals. We understand that increasing enrolments is a priority, and our experience in school branding and web design is built around helping you achieve it.

Visual appeal matters just as much. Our designers use high-quality images and video that capture your school’s environment, woven together with your branding and colours to create a cohesive, memorable experience for prospective families.

And because most people browse on their phones, every site we build is fully responsive — delivering a smooth experience on any device, widening your reach, and making a strong impression wherever families find you.

School Web Design - Frequently Asked Questions

Quality communication to your market via a new school website…. priceless!  Sorry, only joking.  We know we are reasonably priced and we will try to accommodate your budget. It’s in our interest to deliver the best possible website at the best possible price.  Contact us and we will provide a quote.

It usually takes 4 – 6 weeks to design and develop a website.  We find the hold-up is usually the supply of content to populate the website.  For this reason, we build your new website on a staging platform that allows you viewing access so you can watch the progress of the build.  We find this spurs our clients on with their content gathering.

Of course! It saves a lot of time if you wish to retain the heading structure and some or all of content of your existing website.  We will take your direction, some content is worth keeping and some not, just let us know.

We don’t repair existing websites because we don’t want to take on responsibility for work that may not be to our standard so, we just build from scratch. That said, we are happy to use existing content and recreate and modernise any features you may wish to retain.

Yes, we offer a full copywriting service.

Yes, we provide you with 1-on-1 training where we will teach you how to maintain your own website. The entire session is recorded and provided to you so you can revisit it whenever needed. We also offer 30-day support after the training has been provided in case you have any further questions.  MAPS marketing employs full-time, in-house, onsite qualified staff – we’re only a phone call away when you need help.
