Web Design for Colleges & Universities in Kenya
Mobile-first websites for colleges and universities, built around how your customers search, compare and get in touch.
From KES 20,000 + VAT · prices exclude 16% VAT
Edgecom designs and builds websites for colleges and universities across Kenya. We are based in Nairobi and work remotely with clients in every county. Students apply where the process is online and clear. A clear, fast website helps you drive admissions and applications online.
Why colleges and universities need a website that works
Four things a good site does for colleges and universities that a Facebook page and a phone number cannot.
People check you online before they call
Most enquiries now start with a search. If your college or university cannot be found, or the site that turns up looks abandoned, the customer simply calls whoever is listed above you.
It answers the questions you repeat all day
Prices, opening hours, where you are, what you actually do. A page that answers these properly removes most of the back-and-forth before anyone gets in touch.
It captures enquiries while you are working
A form, a WhatsApp button and a click-to-call number keep working at 9pm and on Sunday. Nothing is lost because nobody was free to pick up.
It makes a small business look established
A clear, fast, well-written site signals that you are a real operation. For colleges and universities competing against bigger names, that impression does a lot of work.
What a good college or university website does
The things that separate a site that brings in work from one that just exists. This is how we build for colleges and universities.
-
Answer what parents actually ask
Fees, curriculum, admission dates, transport, meals and results. Parents comparing colleges and universities are working through a checklist, and the school that answers it fastest gets the visit.
-
Make admissions a form, not a trip
An online enquiry or application, with documents attached and a fee paid by M-Pesa, saves the parent a journey and saves your office a queue.
-
Show the school as it really is
Photographs of your own classrooms, grounds and pupils — with permission — carry far more weight than stock images of a campus that is not yours.
-
Keep the calendar and announcements current
Term dates, closing days, events. Parents will return to the site repeatedly if it is reliable, and stop entirely after one stale term.
-
Be careful with pupils' images and data
Photographs and details of children need parental consent and a clear retention policy. Get the permission in writing before anything is published.

A rebuild you can update yourselves — calendar, news and staff pages editable without calling a developer.
More on web development“Fee records and reports are manual”
