Websites for Schools in Kenya
School websites that answer parents' questions — curriculum, fees, admissions and term dates — and keep pupils' data safe.
From KES 20,000 + VAT · prices exclude 16% VAT
Parents choose a school slowly. They compare curriculum, fees, distance, boarding and results, often over several evenings on a phone. The school that answers those questions clearly gets the visit. The one with a news post from three years ago loses it without knowing.
The curriculum question matters more than it used to. With CBE now reaching senior school, and many families weighing it against IGCSE or IB, parents want to know exactly what you teach, at which levels, and how your pathways work.
We build school websites that office staff can keep current themselves — term dates, notices, fee structures — without phoning a developer every term.
Why schools need a website that works
Four things a good site does for schools that a Facebook page and a phone number cannot.
Parents compare from home
Most families shortlist schools online before booking a visit. Being easy to compare gets you onto the list.
Fewer calls about fees and dates
A fee structure and term calendar online answer the questions the office hears every week.
Admissions without the queue
Applications reach the office complete, and parents do not lose a day delivering forms.
Notices that reach everyone
News and events on the site reach new and prospective families, not only those already in the class WhatsApp group.
What a good school website does
The things that separate a site that brings in work from one that just exists. This is how we build for schools.
-
Say which curriculum, plainly
CBE, IGCSE, IB or a mix, and at which grades. Parents filter schools by this first. If you offer senior school pathways, explain which ones.
-
Publish the fee structure
Tuition, boarding, transport, meals and one-off costs, per term. A parent comparing three schools will drop the one that makes them phone for numbers.
-
Make paying fees error-proof
Paybill or bank details, the exact account reference and what to do if a payment goes astray. Most reconciliation problems start with a parent guessing the account number.
-
Keep the calendar on the site
Term dates, half-term, closing days and events. A WhatsApp group reaches current parents only; the website reaches the families deciding whether to join.
-
Treat children's data with care
Get written consent for photographs, avoid captions that name pupils, and never publish results or lists that identify individual children.

What schools usually come to us with
Problems that come up again and again for schools, and what we would actually do about each one.
“The office answers the same fee questions all day”
A fees page with the full structure per grade, what each item covers, and the Paybill number with the exact account format — usually the admission number. Fewer calls, and fewer payments credited to the wrong pupil.
More on web development“Admissions means paper and queues”
An online application that collects the pupil's details, previous school and report uploads, confirms receipt to the parent and gives the admissions office one list. Interview dates can be offered in the same flow.
More on system development“Parents cannot find us when they search”
Pages for each section — pre-primary, junior school, senior school, boarding — and for the area you serve, plus a Google Business Profile pinned to the right gate.
More on seo“We are nervous about publishing pupils' photos”
A consent process, a photo policy on the site and image captions that never name children. The Data Protection Act, 2019 requires a parent's consent to process a child's data, so we design around that from the start.
More on hosting“Our site is always out of date”
A simple admin area for notices, term dates and events, so the person who knows about a change can make it.

Questions about school websites
We can show your Paybill details clearly, or integrate M-Pesa so a parent pays from the site and the payment is matched to the pupil automatically. The integration is an add-on priced in your quote.
Yes. An admissions form with document uploads is a common add-on. Applications reach the office as one sortable list, and parents receive a confirmation.
Only with care. The Data Protection Act, 2019 requires a parent's or guardian's consent before you process a child's personal data, and photographs count. Never publish anything that identifies an individual pupil's results. We build the site to make that easy to follow.
A business website starts from KES 20,000 + 16% VAT. Admissions forms and M-Pesa payments are priced on top. A parent portal with results and fee statements is a custom system, from KES 100,000 + VAT.
Every site we build is SEO-ready, and a well set up Google Business Profile helps with local searches. Rankings depend on the schools around you and on keeping the site active. Nobody can honestly guarantee position one.
