    A Specialist WordPress Design Agency

    Cude Design has more than 16 years of experience designing and developing WordPress websites for organisations across the UK.

    For schools, colleges, and other education organisations, we focus on clear navigation, straightforward content management, and websites that make important information easy for students, parents, and staff to find.

    Our team can manage the complete project from planning and design through WordPress development, launch, and ongoing support, including more complex requirements such as portals, integrations, and custom functionality.

    WordPress Websites for Schools

    WordPress gives schools and education organisations a flexible platform for managing large amounts of information without making everyday updates difficult for staff.

    We can structure the website around departments, year groups, admissions, policies, news, events and other important content, while giving your team straightforward control over updates after launch.

    For larger projects, WordPress can also support custom functionality, portals and integrations with third-party systems.

    Custom Websites for Schools & Education Organisations

    Some education websites need more than a standard information site. We can develop custom functionality around how your organisation works, including secure portals, user accounts, document access, forms, eCommerce, and third-party integrations.

    For more complex projects, we scope the required functionality before development begins so the website is built around your users, internal processes and long-term requirements.

    Scoping

    We start by understanding your audiences, content, existing systems and the functionality the website needs to support. This gives the project a clear structure before design begins.

    Design

    We design the key page layouts around your school or organisation’s brand, focusing on clear navigation, accessibility, and making important information easy to find.

    Development

    Once the designs are approved, we build the website in WordPress, add the required functionality and test it across different devices before launch.

    Common Questions

    How much does a school website cost?

    The cost depends on the website’s size, the number of page layouts required, and whether you need features such as portals, integrations, or custom functionality.

    Once we understand your requirements, we’ll recommend the best approach and provide a clear project cost.

    How long does a school website take to build?

    Timelines depend on the project’s size and complexity.

    A smaller school website can usually be delivered faster than a larger education platform with portals, multiple user groups, or third-party integrations.

    Can you integrate school systems with WordPress?

    Yes. Where suitable APIs or integration options are available, we can connect WordPress with forms, databases, portals and other systems used by schools and education organisations.

    Are your school websites accessible?

    We design with accessibility in mind, including clear navigation, readable content, keyboard usability and compatibility with assistive technologies.

    When needed, we can also work toward specific accessibility standards as part of the project.

    Do you provide hosting and ongoing support?

    Yes. We provide managed WordPress hosting, maintenance and ongoing technical support after launch.

    This can include updates, backups, security monitoring and further development as your requirements change.

    Can you redesign an existing school website?

    Yes. We can redesign an existing WordPress website or move an older school website to a new WordPress build when the current platform limits design, usability, or functionality.
