Marketing for schools, colleges & higher education.

Without a doubt, yes. Your school (or other education sector) website is a powerful asset and will certainly make life easier. Your website acts as an information hub, and showcases education philosophies, facilities, courses, awards, speciality programs, and shows students (or parents) what you bring to the table. It’s a place to share insights through blogs, and host private student-portal, and encourage enrolments and tours. 

You can also direct people to your website form Google searches to reach more people in your area.

The majority of websites we’ve built for the education sector fit into our Advanced Website package, starting at $10,000 + GST. This package is well-suited because it caters to complex functionality requirements often utilised by education bodies. 

However, depending on what you need, you might fit into our mid-tier Business Package which comes at $9,999 + GST. It's unlikely that you'll fit into our Simple Website package (at $4,999 + GST), but we're certainly open to exploring it as an option for you. 

We love transparency with this stuff, so you can see all three packages and their pricing here.  

Whilst you can attempt to build an education-based website in-house using DIY builders like Squarespace or Wix, it’s always better to hand over your biggest, and arguably most important, digital asset to a professional. We create beautiful, easy-to-edit education-based websites in WordPress (and occassionally Duda) which are code-free and easy to update. 

As a guide, we generally suggest you include your courses/programs and what makes you different to others in your sector. How do you stand out from your competitors, and what do your students (or their families) gain by choosing you? You can also include key staff, student testimonials, blog articles, and built-in tools your web visitors can use — such as online fee payments, online enrolments, or school tour bookings.

However, don’t get too caught up on this. When you engage Helium for a website, we’ll guide you on what content to include, and even write it for you. Plus, our websites are incredibly easy to edit, so they can grow and evolve along with your business. You can add, remove, update, or edit content as much as you like.
