Websites for schools win parents in the few weeks each year when they are choosing a school.
On this page
Demand piles into a few weeks. The choice is emotional as well as financial. A parent is comparing a handful of schools on trust, cost and results.
What people actually type
The main filter. Publishing it is an advantage, not a risk.
Highly specific and highly qualified.
Deadline driven and urgent.
What usually goes wrong
- No fee information. Parents will not enquire blind, and hiding it signals expensive.
- Admissions buried when it should dominate the homepage in season.
- Stock photos instead of your actual classrooms and pupils.
- Slow replies during the one window that matters.
- No help for parents choosing between curriculums.
The plan, in order
Publish the fee structure
By level, with what is included. This single change usually lifts enquiries most.
An admissions section that works
Requirements, dates, documents and an application path that does not need a visit.
Explain the curriculum choice
Honest comparison content. It puts you in the shortlist as the expert.
Real photos and a virtual tour
Parents are buying an environment.
Concentrate ads into the window
Rather than spreading a small budget across the year.

What it costs
An institutional website usually runs KSh 180,000 to KSh 400,000. Seasonal ads and search from KSh 48,000 a month, weighted to the admissions period.
