Why Professional School Website Design is Vital

A professional school website is a key asset in promoting your institution, engaging with your community, and achieving your goals. Here’s why school website design is so important:
01

Connect with a Wide Audience

Your school website serves as a crucial link between the school and its community. It helps engage a wide audience, from prospective parents and students to existing families, alumni, and staff. By providing comprehensive information about school events, upcoming events, news posts, and more, a well-designed website becomes a hub for all members of the school community.
02

Showcase Your School’s Mission

The design and functionality of your website should reflect your school's mission and values. A professionally designed website communicates your school's ethos, curriculum, achievements, and unique characteristics in a compelling way that attracts prospective students and parents.
03

Enhance Visibility and Engagement

With effective search engine optimisation, a well-structured website can attract more website visitors, increasing your school’s visibility online. A well-optimised website helps ensure that when prospective parents and students search for schools in their area, your school is among the best school websites they find.

Additionally, it should be responsive, work across all devices, and be optimised for search engines to ensure maximum visibility.

How is school web design different from other types of web design?

School web design focuses on the specific needs of educational institutions, such as displaying upcoming events, sharing news, and supporting online learning. It also incorporates features like a content management system (CMS) tailored for schools, which allows non-technical staff to update content easily. The best school websites offer a balance of aesthetics and functionality, ensuring they serve as effective communication tools for the entire school community.

It simplifies adding news posts, updating event calendars, managing multimedia content, and ensuring all information is current. This flexibility makes it easier for staff to keep the website fresh and relevant, crucial for engaging your audience and maintaining an active online presence.

We have worked with fallen leaf for many years and have recently completed a full overhaul of our e-commerce website. Adam and the team have worked tirelessly to pull together the design, functionality and integration that we required, and we couldn't be happier with the results. communication is key when working with a web developer, Adam always makes himself available and is a fountain of knowledge. I can't recommend them enough.

Adrian Sykes - Trade Picture Frames

It is clear that Fallen Leaf go above and beyond larger impersonal organisations. I am not a technical person so I particularly value Adam's ability to take out the jargon and explain things to me in plain English.

Debbie Bavin - Contigo

We have worked with Fallen Leaf as an organisation for many years and when we wanted a new website building, we knew straight away we wanted them to be the ones to do it. Due to us being a charity and not having loads of funding, they completely understood this and were so patient with us during this process. They designed an incredible website and built it so quickly and we have had nothing but positive comments on it.

Imogen Stopps - Krasac

We've recently launched our new website and Fallen Leaf could not have been more impressive. We were quite particular about how we wanted the website to look and communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. The end result was a super fast website that looks fantastic.

Joe Tully - SwiftCloud

One of the best decisions we made was to work with Fallen Leaf on this project. The planning and project management alone was a huge task for our business, but Adam and his team made this process completely manageable for us. We now have a website that we can really stand by, and that can also be managed and adapted as our business grows.

Dan Kershaw - Brewfitt

We have worked closely with Adam and the team at Fallen Leaf Web Design for a number of years making a number of websites for our sister companies & supporting our digital business needs. Therefore when Towndoor was in need of a new website, it was a no-brainer to instruct the Fallen Leaf team to get this built for us.

Jack Dixon - Towndoor

Created an amazing website for our business to upgrade our exiting one. The communication, attention to detail and creative ideas have been outstanding, could not be happier. Would highly recommend Adam and his team.

Sarah - Yorkshire Pet Portraits

I found Adam and the team to be extremely helpful and talented in their work. They tailor made a website and package to meet my business needs and the results have been outstanding. Any queries were responded to immediately. I would recommend Fallen Leaf Design without any hesitation.

Diana Harris - Immigration Social Work

I am extremely happy with our website, the design, and functionality along with the service we have received have been Superb. Within less than 24 hours of contacting Fallen Leaf they had researched the business and got a really good understanding of what we were looking to achieve, and of our potential market. They’ve come up with some extremely good suggestions and solutions, whilst being open to amendments when required or suggested.

Meg Plummer - UKLR

We were really pleased with the way Fallen Leaf developed our initial brief into a working solution. They were great to work with, quickly altering and amending ideas throughout the development process - we are very happy with the end result.

Jane Shirley - Wooltex

From the first briefing meeting, we knew were in safe hands. Communication was great throughout and the approach to working with myself and the team felt responsive and focused. We encountered several challenges throughout the project as we had to adjust the requirements of the website regarding translation and country-specific content. Fallen Leaf was able to deliver a solution that far exceeded our expectations.

Susy Brown - Paxman Scalp Cooling

The only way that I can describe your performance is to say that Adam managed to interpret an idea that had been in my head for about 3 years and make it a reality. From that moment on both Adam and Sam have been very patient with me and our work schedule.

Dave Portingale - Rebuild Support

We have used Fallen Leaf’s services for a number of years on multiple projects, Adam and the team are our “go to” guys and deliver exactly what we want. So it was only right that they were the ones to take on our latest project, Lu’s Place.

Adam and the team are a pleasure to work with, nothing is ever too much hassle, and they are always on hand should we require any assistance.

We would recommend anyone considering using Fallen Leaf’s services to do so – we wouldn’t be without them!

Meg Anderson - Bamforth Leisure

Adam and the team at Fallen Leaf Web Design worked closely with us to understand our organisation, and to help us understand what a high-functioning, good quality website could do for us. The new site was delivered ahead of schedule and has already generated an increase in memberships and given us the ability to manage more of our events online, freeing up our valuable administrative resource

Helen Wilson - Aocpp

Fallen Leaf has been incredibly efficient at sorting out the problems with my website and emails, and building a new site for me. I have been impressed with the communication and high level of service and have already recommended them.

Rebecca Leppard - Leppard Coaching

We have been working with the team at Fallen Leaf for nearly 6 years now and they have always given us a first class service. We often go to them with a lot of “can we?” questions and they always know what we need and how they can deliver it. I would recommend Fallen Leaf to anyone wanting to develop their website or a bespoke piece of software for their business.

Stuart Watson - Leap IT

Our website build, starting from an initial discussion through to order and project completion took less than 4 weeks which we were very impressed with. At no point was there any hard sell or pressure – but a genuine desire to design us the best outcome for our business. Enquiries for all property types we deal with has increased significantly which we acknowledge would simply not have occurred were it not for Fallen Leaf's support.
