How to make a website for a college

Students and their parents compare colleges online before they visit: which courses you run, which university you are affiliated to, what marks are needed, and when forms come out. A small college website answers those questions and sends them to your admission office on WhatsApp or the phone.

What people look for on a college website

The courses you run, such as BA, BCom, BSc, BCA or BBA, with the subjects or specialisations in each
The university you are affiliated to and any approval or recognition you hold, written as on your letter
Eligibility for each course: which Class 12 stream and the minimum marks
When admission forms come out, the steps to apply and the documents to bring
Seats per course and whether there is a hostel for boys or girls
Faculty by department, with their qualifications
Directions from the bus stand or railway station, and the bus routes that pass the college

The pages your website needs

Home: Courses in one line each, the affiliating university, this year's admission dates and a WhatsApp button for the admission office
Courses: Each course with its duration, subjects, eligibility and seats, and the fee per year if it is fixed for the session
Admissions: Step-by-step: getting the form, the merit list or entrance, counselling, documents and the fee deposit
Faculty and campus: Teachers by department with degrees, and your own photos of classrooms, labs, library and hostel
About and contact: The trust or society that runs the college, the principal's note, the affiliation details, address, office hours and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

BA, BCom and BCA in Sigra, Varanasi

Affiliated to the state university. Admission forms for the new session are available from May at the college office, 10 AM to 3 PM.

Kashi Vidyapeeth Degree College has taught graduate students in Sigra since 1998. Our classes run in the morning so students can work or study for competitive exams in the afternoon, and our library stays open till 6 PM. Message the admission office on WhatsApp to ask about seats in your course.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most college websites need these pages: Home, Courses, Admissions, Faculty and campus, About and contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your college, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a college website

Write the affiliating university and any approval exactly as on your letters; students and parents check these before they apply.
Put the admission dates for the current session on the home page and change them every year, so old dates don't mislead anyone.
Show fees only when they are final for the session, or say that the office shares the fee structure on WhatsApp.
Don't promise placements or packages. If you list companies that hired your students, keep it to facts you can show.
Use photos of your own labs, library and hostel, and show students' faces only with their consent.
Add the college to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and link the website there.

Good to know

Students can't fill the admission form, upload marksheets or pay fees on the website; they message or call the office. For student logins, attendance, notices and fee records, a college app connected to your own database is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Can students apply for admission on the college website?

No. The website has no forms or uploads; each page has WhatsApp and call buttons so students reach the admission office, which then takes the form the way it does today.

Should the website show the affiliating university?

Yes, on the home page and the about page, written exactly as on your affiliation letter, along with any approval number you hold.

Can I publish the merit list on the college website?

You can add it as a page update when it comes out, but a merit list has students' names and marks, so many colleges share it on the notice board and their WhatsApp groups instead.

Can each department have its own page?

An AppCub website has 4 to 6 pages, so departments usually share the faculty page with a section each. Ask in the chat to arrange them differently.

Can the website show hostel details?

Yes. Describe the rooms, the mess, the warden's rules and the hostel fee if it is fixed, with your own photos of the hostel.

Will students searching for colleges find this website?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address and courses in the format search engines use. Where it shows up is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps students find you on Maps.
