Education platformsbuilt for real classrooms.

Websites, learning portals and enrolment workflows for education providers — content easy to find, applications straightforward to submit and administration finally manageable.

  • Learning portals
  • Course catalogues
  • Enrolment
  • Multilingual
In plain terms

Three audiences, one platform, zero confusion.

Education digital products serve three audiences whose needs barely overlap: prospective students comparing options, current students and parents hunting timetables and results, and staff maintaining it all. Most education sites fail by pleasing the first audience while ignoring the other two. We design all three journeys deliberately.

Content is the real workload — courses with terms and prerequisites, policies that update, news that expires, often across multiple languages. We build the content model so publishing stays simple for admin staff, and so a course change updates the catalogue, the application form and the printed prospectus page from one place.

Then the operations: application forms that route properly, student and parent portals for the documents and statuses that currently live in email, and access rules that respect safeguarding and privacy. The admin burden shrinks; the experience improves.

Where we help

The digital campus, properly built.

Scoped to your institution — a single school and a multi-campus provider need different depth.

01

Institution websites

Fast, accessible sites where prospective students find programmes, entry requirements and answers quickly.

02

Course catalogues

Structured course data — terms, fees, prerequisites, intakes — searchable, filterable and always current.

03

Application & enrolment

Online applications with document upload, status tracking and routing to the right admissions staff.

04

Student & parent portals

Timetables, results, documents and messages in one secure place — less email, fewer phone calls.

05

Learning content platforms

Course materials, resources and structured learning content organised for how staff and students actually use it.

06

Editorial workflows

Roles and permissions for the many hands that publish — department editors without site-wide risk.

How we work

Built around the academic calendar.

Education deadlines are unforgiving — enrolment windows and term starts drive our plan.

  1. Map the journeys

    Prospect, student, parent and staff journeys mapped — with the content and systems behind each.

  2. Model the content

    Courses, pages and resources structured so publishing stays simple all year, not just at launch.

  3. Build & migrate

    Platform, portals and content migrated with staff training — tested against real term-time scenarios.

  4. Launch in window

    Go-live timed to the calendar's quiet weeks, with admissions support through the first intake.

Before you start

Two realities of education platforms.

01 · Accessibility

Accessibility is an obligation, not an option

Education platforms carry legal accessibility duties — and genuinely serve users with diverse needs every day. We design to WCAG 2.2 from the wireframe stage: contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader flow and readable content, verified before launch rather than promised after.

  • WCAG 2.2 designed in, not audited in
  • Keyboard and screen-reader journeys tested
  • Documents and PDFs included in scope
  • Accessibility statement maintained honestly
02 · Calendars

Plan around term time, not project time

The best project plan in education fails if it asks staff for input during enrolment week or launches changes mid-term. We map the academic calendar first and schedule both the work and the go-live around it — including the migration windows only holidays provide.

  • Map the academic calendar before quoting
  • Schedule staff involvement in light weeks
  • Launch in the quiet windows
  • Support the first enrolment cycle closely
FAQ

Questions clients usually ask.

Straight answers about how this work is scoped, delivered and supported.

Ask something else
01Can you work with our existing student information system?

Usually yes — course data, enrolments and student records sync with your SIS or MIS through its APIs or supported bridges, so the portal never fights the system of record.

02Can parents and students use one portal?

Yes — role-based access shows each person what's theirs: students see their materials and status, parents see what the institution shares with them.

03How do you handle multiple languages?

Drupal's native multilingual systems or a structured CMS layer — content entered once per language, with translation workflows your team can sustain.

04Can staff update content themselves?

That's the goal — role-based publishing with training and guardrails, so departments update their own areas without risking the whole site.
