Education sector website design

At Pedalo, we create websites that look great and work just as well. Our bespoke school website design ensures a positive user experience and intuitive interface to ensure accessibility for everyone.

Before making major changes, we can help you understand what your website needs to achieve. Our discovery work can include stakeholder input, user journeys, content reviews, technical analysis and a prioritised roadmap.

Education websites often need to serve many audiences at once. We can help reorganise content so that students, parents, staff, funders and partners can find what they need quickly.

Education sector website hosting

Reliable hosting solutions that support you. Round the clock monitoring ensures your site stays fast, accessible and secure so you are always online and up-to-date.

Our approach to support and maintenance is backed by clear SLAs and flexible retainers, giving you confidence in response times and ongoing support.

If your current education website is difficult to manage, underperforming or technically fragile, we can help stabilise it and create a practical improvement plan before you commit to a full rebuild.

Education sector marketing and growth

Our education SEO and PPC expertise improves your performance at every step of the funnel. We’ll help you reach and grow your audience.

Understand how people use your website and where improvements can be made. We can help set up meaningful reporting across enquiries, applications, events, campaigns and key user journeys.

Integrations, accessibility and compliance

Connect your website with the tools you already use. This could include CRM systems, admissions platforms, payment providers, event tools, email marketing systems or learning platforms.

Make your website easier for everyone to use. We can audit your site against accessibility best practice and help you improve the experience for students, parents, staff and wider audiences.

Education websites need to be secure, reliable and carefully managed. We can help with security reviews, privacy considerations, cookie compliance, access controls and ongoing monitoring.

Student, parent and community engagement

Improve the way prospective students, parents or learners move through your website. We can review key journeys, forms and calls to action to help increase enquiries, applications and event bookings.

Support recruitment and engagement with flexible event functionality. We can help with open day registration, event listings, booking forms, automated emails and reporting.

Create secure areas for different audiences, including students, parents, staff, governors or alumni. We can help with role-based access, gated content and integrations with existing systems.
