Schools

Admissions · Parent portals · Fees · Websites

In short

Admissions, parent and student portals, fee tracking, and the public site — replacing the spreadsheet-and-PDF era with something staff and parents will actually open.

Admissions as a funnel, not a filing cabinet

Enquiry, application, document collection, interview, offer, enrolment — a school's admissions season is a pipeline with drop-off at every stage, and almost nobody can see where. Making the stages visible is usually worth more than any other module, because it turns a season of chasing into a list of who to call today.

Portals for people who are not looking for them

A parent opens a school portal three times a term, on a phone, usually to find one specific thing. If it needs a password reset to get there, they call the office instead and the system has failed. Fees, attendance, results, and notices sit one tap from the front page, and notifications carry the answer rather than a link to go and find it.

Fees without the reconciliation week

Structures, concessions, instalments, late fees, and the receipt trail, tracked in one place so the accounts office is not reconciling a spreadsheet against a bank statement every term. Defaulter lists and reminders come out of the same data rather than being assembled by hand.

A public site that admits students

The school website is an admissions instrument, not a brochure. It loads on a slow connection, says what the fees and the process actually are, and turns a visitor into an enquiry in the system rather than into an email nobody logs. This is also the page that has to rank when a parent searches for schools in your area.

Questions

Straight
answers.

Can you migrate our existing student data?

Yes. Most schools arrive with spreadsheets, a legacy system export, or both, and the migration is a scoped part of the build rather than an afterthought — including the reconciliation pass that catches the duplicates every real dataset contains.

Will parents actually use a portal?

Only if it answers their question in one tap on a phone and does not gate it behind a password reset. Adoption is a design problem, not a training problem, and we treat it as the primary constraint on the portal rather than a launch concern.

Do you build the school website too?

Yes, and we treat it as an admissions instrument rather than a brochure — fast on a slow connection, honest about fees and process, and wired so an enquiry lands in the admissions pipeline instead of an inbox.
