How to make a website for a school van service
Parents choosing a school van ask about safety first: who drives, whether a woman attendant rides along, how many children sit in the van, and what happens if the van is late. Then they ask about routes, timings and fees. A small website answers this calmly and sends them to your WhatsApp to ask for a seat.

What people look for on a school van service website
- Schools you drop to and the areas and societies you pick up from
- Morning pickup and afternoon drop timings for each route
- Monthly fee by distance, and whether summer holiday months are charged
- The driver's name, years of driving, and the attendant who rides with the children
- Safety steps you follow: seats for each child, doors locked while moving, children handed only to known adults
- How you tell parents if the van is late or a child is absent
- The vans' photos, with seat count and permit if you have one
The pages your website needs
- Home: Schools and areas covered, a line on safety, timings and a WhatsApp button to ask for a seat
- Routes and timings: Each route with the areas, schools, morning pickup window and afternoon drop window
- Fees: Monthly fee by distance, holiday months, and how to pay
- Safety and staff: Driver and attendant with photos and experience, seats per child, handing over at the gate, and how you inform parents
- Contact: Phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button to where the vans park
Sample words for your home page
A safe ride to school from Gomti Nagar and Indira Nagar, Lucknow
Two vans with a woman attendant in each. Every child has a seat, and we hand children only to a parent or a person you name.
Safe Steps School Van is run by Rakesh Verma, who has driven children to school in Lucknow for 14 years. Parents get a WhatsApp message from us whenever the van is running late, and each child is handed over at the gate, not left on the road.
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 school van service websites need these pages: Home, Routes and timings, Fees, Safety and staff, 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 school van service, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a school van service website
- Don't show children's photos or names on the website. Show the vans and the staff instead, with their permission.
- Name the schools only if you're sure it's fine to; otherwise say 'schools on Faizabad Road'.
- Write your safety steps as things you actually do every day, not as promises.
- Say exactly how parents are told about delays: a WhatsApp message from your number.
- Show the van's seat count and any permit or registration you hold.
- Add the van service to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile as a service-area business.
What it costs
- Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- Parents can't register a child, see where the van is or pay fees on the website; they message or call you. To keep children, routes, attendance and fees, a school van app 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
What do parents want to see on a school van website?
Who drives, whether an attendant rides along, how many children sit in each van, the routes and timings, and the fee.
Should I put children's photos on the website?
No. Show the vans and staff instead. Children's photos and names should stay private.
Can parents see where the van is from the website?
No. The website doesn't track vans. Tell parents how you inform them about delays, such as a WhatsApp message.
Can I list the schools I drop to?
Yes, if you're comfortable naming them. You can also describe the area, such as schools on one main road.
Can parents pay the monthly fee on the website?
No, the website has no payments. Parents pay you directly; a school van app can show your UPI QR or take fees through your own Razorpay.
