Simple, accessible school websites built for clarity and ease of use..
Why do school websites become frustrating to manage?
Many school websites become difficult to manage over time because they are overloaded with pages, unclear navigation, outdated layouts, and complicated editing systems.
This creates problems for both parents and staff, especially on mobile devices where visitors are often trying to quickly find key information during busy school days.
A school website should reduce confusion, improve communication, and make important information easier to access.
What makes a good school website?
A good school website should:
- work properly on mobile devices
- make important information easy to find
- support accessibility best practices
- clearly structure safeguarding and statutory content
- load quickly and perform reliably
- reduce admin workload for staff
The goal is not flashy design. It is clarity, simplicity, and usability for parents, staff, and visitors.

Created for simplicity
School websites should be easy to manage long after launch.
At JigiWeb, we build websites using simple, flexible systems that allow schools and academy trusts to update content internally without relying on developers for every small change.
That means staff can easily manage policies, letters, calendars, safeguarding information, attendance updates, and school news without unnecessary complexity.
The result is a website that remains clear, fast, and manageable over time.

faqs
Do you create websites for both schools and academy trusts?

Are your school websites easy for staff to update?
Yes. Our websites are designed to be simple for office staff and administrators to manage without technical knowledge. Staff can easily update news, policies, letters, attendance information, calendars, and announcements internally.
Do your websites work well on mobile devices?
Yes. Most parents now access school websites on their phones, so mobile usability is a major focus throughout the design process. We structure websites to help parents quickly find important information on smaller screens without frustration.
Do you consider accessibility requirements?
Yes. We build school websites with accessibility and usability in mind, including clear layouts, readable content, logical navigation, and mobile-friendly structures that support accessibility best practices.
Can you help maintain and support the website after launch?
Yes. We offer a simple website support plan designed to help if something goes wrong after launch.
Our £20 per month support package covers things like WordPress update issues, broken layouts, recovery support, and fixes caused by everyday content edits. If a problem appears, we investigate, repair, or restore the site as quickly as possible so you have a reliable point of contact when needed.
Please note this does not include ongoing content uploads, SEO work, marketing, redesigns, or hosting. Website hosting is provided separately through Hostinger.
Can you redesign an existing school website?
Yes. Many schools already have websites that have become cluttered, outdated, or difficult to manage over time. We can redesign existing websites to improve usability, accessibility, mobile experience, and overall clarity.
How long does a school website project usually take?
This depends on the size of the school and the amount of content involved, but most school website projects can usually be completed within a few weeks once content and requirements are agreed.
