Frequently asked questions
How much does a new school website cost?
Every school is different, but most projects fall into one of two categories:
- Template websites from £550 per year including hosting.
- Bespoke websites typically between £2,000 and £6,500 depending on requirements.
We'll always provide a clear quote with no hidden fees.
All prices are excluding VAT
How long does it take to build a new website?
Most school websites are completed within 4–12 weeks.
We'll guide you through the process, handle content migration where required, and keep disruption to a minimum.
Will you move content from our existing website?
Yes.
We can migrate pages, documents, news articles, policies, staff information and other content from your existing website, saving your team many hours of work.
Do you work with Multi-Academy Trusts?
Absolutely.
We regularly work with federations and trusts to create consistent branding across multiple schools while allowing each school to maintain its own identity.
Can you help us stay compliant?
Yes.
School websites must meet a range of Department for Education and Ofsted requirements.
We regularly review our clients' websites and highlight any areas that may require attention, helping schools remain compliant and reducing administrative burden.
What happens if we need updates?
Simply send us the changes.
Many of our schools email documents, photographs, newsletters or text updates directly to us and we'll make the changes on their behalf.
This saves valuable staff time and helps keep websites up to date.
Who owns the website once it's built?
You do.
Your school retains ownership of its content, domain name and data.
Should you ever decide to move provider, we'll work with you to ensure a smooth transition.

Our content management system is designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing staff to make updates themselves if they wish.
Many schools choose a mixture of self-service and support from our team.

- Technical support
- Content updates
- Compliance reviews
- Website maintenance
- Training
- Ongoing advice and guidance
