What we look at for an independent school.

The details are different for every profession.

Why it’s free

It’s the quickest way for you to judge our work, and it’s the first step of building your site anyway. If you go ahead, the rebuild becomes your homepage.

  • Enquiry to first day

    Application, waitlist, offer and acceptance, in order.

  • Which years have room

    Entry years shown honestly, without promises.

  • Teachers, as registered

    Registration stated the way your state says it.

  • Policies families can find

    Child safety, complaints and enrolment, linked.

  • Fees, in full

    Tuition and every unavoidable charge, up front.

A site that walks a family from first enquiry to first day.

An illustrative before. The practice is fictional.Lorikeet Hill School is a fictional practice. Open the Live Example (opens in a new tab)

  1. A stock theme with the business’s name on it.

    • The first screen is a stock photo and the word Welcome.
    • Booking is somewhere inside the menu.
    • The phone number and the hours are at the very bottom of the page.
  2. The same business, rebuilt.

    What was worth keeping is kept. Everything else is rebuilt around it.

  3. The steps, in order.

    • Enquire, tour, apply, meet us, offer and accept are drawn as a path.
    • An application isn’t a place, and the page says so.
    • Each step says what the family does.
  4. A small board, honestly kept.

    • Each year level shows whether there’s room.
    • Waitlists are explained.
    • Nothing promises a place.
  5. What learning looks like.

    • A school day is described.
    • Specialist subjects are listed.
    • No results are promised.
  6. Tuition and the rest.

    • Tuition is shown with every unavoidable charge.
    • What’s included is listed.
    • Optional extras are kept apart.
  7. Child safety first.

    • Child safety, complaints and enrolment policies are linked.
    • Who to contact about a concern is stated.
    • Privacy is explained.
  8. Teachers, as registered.

    • The principal and teachers are named.
    • Registration is stated the way Queensland says it.
    • Support staff are named as support staff.

Written inside the rules independent schools work under. Every site advertises only registered year levels, never treats an application or a waitlist as a place, makes its child safety, complaints and enrolment policies easy to find, and shows fees as one total including every unavoidable charge.

Switching in

You forward two or three logins: your domain, your current host, and your booking or enquiry system if you use one. We move the content, connect that system, set up redirects so Google keeps sending people to the right pages, and put it live. Your part is under an hour, total.

Switching back

Your old site stays where it is for 30 days after the new one goes live. If you’d rather have it back, for any reason, tell us and we point your domain at it the same day. You’re refunded in full and the care plan stops.

The advertising rules

Written inside the rules independent schools work under.

Independent schools are registered by their state or territory, in Queensland by the Non-State Schools Accreditation Board, so only the registered year levels and campuses can be advertised. Teachers are registered with their state’s teacher regulator.

Read the Advertising Guides

  • Registered years only

    Nothing advertised beyond the school’s registration.

  • No promised places

    Application, waitlist and offer kept apart.

  • Policies one tap away

    Child safety, complaints and enrolment.

  • Fees, in full

    Including every charge a family can’t avoid.

You stay responsible for what your school advertises, and we make it easier to get right.

All Questions, Answered

The free rebuild

Why is it free?

It’s the fastest way for you to judge our work without committing to anything, and it’s step one of your site if you go ahead. The rebuild becomes your homepage.

Is it just a template?

No. It’s built from your practice’s own services, team, hours and booking setup, on a structure designed for independent schools. Joseph reviews every decision before it reaches you, and the video explains each one.

Do I have to talk to anyone?

No. You get the rebuild and the video by email and watch in your own time. If you’d rather talk, Joseph’s number is at the bottom of the page.

What happens to the rebuild if I say no?

Nothing. Keep the ideas and use them however you like. The preview link closes after 7 days, and we don’t publish it or show it to anyone without your permission.

We already have a web developer. Does that matter?

Not for the rebuild. You can use it to see what’s possible before deciding who builds it. If you go ahead with us, we handle the move and your developer doesn’t need to be involved.

Going ahead

Will it work with how we take enrolments?

Enquiries and applications go where your school already works, into your enrolment or school management system where it takes web applications, or to your office inbox, and current families get a link to your parent portal. We confirm how yours connects before you approve your design.

How much work is this for me?

Send your address, watch a two-minute video, say yes or no. If yes, forward the logins we ask for. We do the rest, including talking to your current host or booking provider if something needs untangling.

What happens to my current site?

Nothing, for 30 days. It stays live on its existing host so it’s there if you want it back. After that you can cancel the old hosting, or we’ll do it with you.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

We map every page on your old site to the right page on the new one before we switch, so links and search results keep landing somewhere sensible. Rankings move for all sorts of reasons, but a redirect map is what stops a move from being one of them.

What if I don’t like it once it’s live?

Say so within 30 days. We point your domain back at your old site, refund your website fees in full, and stop the care plan. No form, no reason required.

What’s the catch with the 12 months?

The first year pays off the build in monthly instalments, so there’s no large upfront cost. After 12 months the price drops to the care rate. If you leave early, you pay out the build that remains, and we hand over your content and design files.

Who owns the site?

Your domain, content and photos are yours from the start. The site runs on our platform, which is how it stays fast, secure and looked after. Once the build is paid off, at month 12 or up front, we’ll export everything whenever you ask.
