School website capabilities
Websites and digital tools for Australian schools
We design and build websites for Australian schools, and the digital tools that sit around them. The aim is simple: families can find what they need, enrolment journeys are clear, and your team can update the site without calling a developer for every change.
That work includes information architecture, Webflow builds, accessibility, content migration, and custom features when a standard page is not enough, such as a digital publication, an online uniform shop, or a link to a school management system.

What we do for schools
School websites.
Strategy, sitemap and navigation, design, and a Webflow CMS your staff can use. We help organise complex school content so prospective families, current parents, students and staff can find what they need quickly.
Enrolment journeys.
From a first search to a tour booking or an enquiry, we design clearer pathways and calls to action. The enrolment application itself usually stays on the school's own admissions system. Our job is to get the right families to that next step.
A CMS your team can run.
Day-to-day updates (news, staff changes, key pages, campaign landing pages) should not wait on a developer. We set up the CMS, train your team, and leave you with a structure you can govern.
Accessibility.
School websites need to work for people using different devices and abilities. We plan for that in the build, and we can help you set simple editor rules so accessibility does not drift after launch.
Custom tools for schools.
When the job is more than a page, we build the feature. Live school examples are below: a digital magazine, a parallax header that presents a campus building, and an online uniform shop integrated with Synergetic.
Support after launch.
Launch is not the end of the site. We offer training and ongoing support so the website can keep pace with term dates, campaigns and enrolment cycles.
School examples
Melbourne Girls Grammar Digital Publication
Melbourne Girls Grammar publishes a biannual digital magazine, Information Exchange, with articles by school authors. The 2022 community-focused issue included 12 articles and was built on Webflow.
Moving the magazine to a digital publication reduced printing costs and made the content easier for readers to access. It also gave the school a more interactive way to share news and updates with the community than the main website alone.
Kinross Wolaroi School Parallax Header
On the Why Kinross Wolaroi page, a scroll-based parallax feature presents one of the school's heritage buildings. The aim was a memorable visual moment that reflects the school's architectural character, rather than a standard static header.
Melbourne Girls Grammar Uniform Shop
We partnered with Melbourne Girls Grammar on a tailored online uniform shop, with more than 120 products across size, colour and style options. Custom integrations synced stock levels with the school's Synergetic system.
A shop-by-look feature lets users select items from images and go through to the relevant product pages. The shop also includes a shop-by-season function for summer and winter uniforms, and clear labelling of compulsory items.
Other technical work
We also build custom tools for organisations outside schools, including interactive maps, calculators, catalogues and product finders. The same technical skills can be useful when a school later needs a comparable feature. These examples are not school projects.
Preloader animation to enhance first impressions
We designed a brand-led intro animation for the 2024 City Leaders Survey that delivers instant clarity and visual impact. Acting as a smart preloader, it masks the hero video loading process while reinforcing the brand’s identity. The result is a seamless transition that improves perceived performance, strengthens brand recall and elevates the user’s first impression.
Trade Facts Drug Mixing Calculator
The ADF Drug Mixing Calculator and Drug Duration Calculator are part of the Trade Facts initiative, aimed at educating construction industry tradies about the risks of mixing drugs and their impact on performance and safety. The website features user-friendly calculators providing clear information. The Drug Mixing Calculator displays risk levels and side effects for selected substances, while the Drug Duration Calculator reveals how long substances remain in users' systems and potential worksite impacts. The Trade Facts team can add drug descriptions, which are integrated into the calculators. The website also offers support links, generating significant traffic and helping numerous individuals.
GREZ Interactive Map
The Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone (GREZ) Interactive Map enables AusNet to collect real-time feedback from locals near the project. The dynamic map exhibits proposed power infrastructure, permitting users to pinpoint areas of interest or concern, such as housing, farmland, or biodiversity. The GREZ team can review, approve, or deny submitted pins, which are then displayed on the website and integrated with their CRM, Borealis. This ongoing project allows for adding new power lines and map layers, offering users a personalised experience with filterable and distinguishable elements.
Nexomics Test Catalogue
The Nexomics Test Catalogue serves as a comprehensive digital platform enabling healthcare organisations and professionals to efficiently engage with Nexomics' extensive testing offerings. This powerful solution can manage tens of thousands of individual tests while delivering exceptional user experience through real-time search and filtering functionality. Medical professionals can quickly locate specific tests based on their requirements, streamlining the process of identifying and accessing the precise cancer research diagnostics they need.
Fairtrade Product Finder
The Fairtrade Product Finder project entailed creating a React application, integrated with Fairtrade's WordPress website, showcasing 3,500+ products from 200 brands and 300 categories. The finder displays results for Australia or New Zealand, enabling users to locate local stockists like Coles. A significant challenge involved integrating the application with Fairtrade's global system, Connect, containing product, license, and commodity data. Our team accessed the Connect database, pulled data into the WordPress database, and displayed products via the API. Despite documentation hurdles, we delivered a comprehensive, user-friendly Fairtrade Product Finder that effectively highlights the organisation's offerings.
MBB Interactive Feature
The project aimed to visually and dynamically display MBB's core services. Rather than a conventional list, we designed a unique visual representation combining their process and services, with each service appearing as a node resembling a timeline date. Clicking on a service node directs users to a detailed breakdown of that specific process phase. This innovative approach enhances user experience and effectively communicates MBB Consulting's process in a memorable, interactive manner, distinguishing them from competitors.
AFL Players Association History Timeline
The AFL Players Association sought our expertise in creating a 50th anniversary timeline for their website, highlighting crucial events. We designed a visually appealing, mobile-friendly timeline, allowing the client to add events with a title, image, and year. Users can toggle between viewing events from oldest to newest or vice versa. Since its launch, the interactive timeline has recorded 65 historical events, showcasing the client's rich heritage and ensuring a seamless user experience across devices.
Australian Drug Foundation Resource Hub
We partnered with the Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) to develop a website for their Local Drug Action Team (LDAT) initiative, targeting harm reduction from alcohol and drugs in local communities. The user-friendly platform offers comprehensive training and resources for high-quality peer support programs, including three main modules: peer support, mentoring, and parenting. The website also features a resources hub for easy access to fact sheets, presentations, templates, and videos. This digital solution eliminates paper materials and enables real-time updates, making it an efficient tool for LDATs to provide vital training within their communities.
