What a School Website Must Communicate

Parents and prospective students visit school websites to verify reputation, understand the curriculum, find contact information, and navigate admissions. Clarity and accessibility are more important than visual flash — the site must work for all users, including those with disabilities.

Admissions

Enrollment CTA & Timeline

Admissions deadline, open day dates, and application link prominently placed. Parents researching schools make decisions in weeks — make the enrollment path clear and frictionless.

Staff

Faculty Directory

Searchable staff directory with photo, name, subject, and contact email. Parents want to know who teaches their child — a staff section builds community and trust.

News

News & Announcements Feed

Recent news cards updated by admin. School closures, event results, and achievements posted as HTML updates. No CMS required — edit the HTML file directly.

Events

Academic Calendar Section

Table or card layout showing term dates, exams, sports days, and open evenings. Parents check this repeatedly — it drives return visits and newsletter signups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pages should a school website have?
A school website needs: home page (ethos + admissions CTA), about/our school, admissions page with process and deadlines, academic programs, staff directory, news and events, and a contact page. Larger schools should add separate pages for sports, arts, parent portal, and alumni.
Should schools use HTML templates or a CMS like WordPress?
For small schools with an IT-capable admin, HTML templates on Cloudflare Pages are faster, cheaper, and more secure (no login panel to attack). For schools that need non-technical staff to update content regularly, a CMS like WordPress or Craft CMS is more practical. HTML templates can still be used as the base design.
How do I make a school website accessible?
Meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards: sufficient color contrast (4.5:1), alt text on all images, keyboard navigation for all interactive elements, a skip-to-content link, semantic heading structure (one H1 per page, logical H2/H3 hierarchy), and the lang attribute on the html element. Test with a screen reader (NVDA or VoiceOver) before launch.
How do I add an events calendar to an HTML school website?
Build a table or card grid with event name, date, time, and location. For a dynamic calendar (auto-updated), embed a Google Calendar using their public embed code. For static updates, maintain a single HTML file updated each term — no JavaScript library needed for a simple events list.
How many school HTML templates are in UIXDraft?
UIXDraft includes 180+ general-purpose HTML/CSS business templates — not built specifically for school businesses, but plain HTML/CSS you can freely edit and adapt with your own services, pricing and content. One $35 purchase, commercial licence.
