How to make a website for a school

When parents shortlist schools, they look online first: which board, which classes, how far it is, what the campus looks like and when admissions open. A small school website answers those questions and sends parents to your office on WhatsApp or the phone.

Sample words for your home page

A CBSE school for Nursery to Class 10 in Ratanada, Jodhpur

Admissions for the new session open in January. Ask the school office on WhatsApp or visit us from 9 AM to 1 PM, Monday to Saturday.

Saraswati Vidya Niketan has taught children in Ratanada since 2004. Our classes are small, our teachers know every child by name, and the school van covers Paota, Sardarpura and Shastri Nagar. Message the office on WhatsApp to ask about seats in your child's class.

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

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.

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, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a school website

Put the admission dates and age rules in plain words on the home page; it is the first thing parents call to ask.
Use campus photos without children, or only photos where every parent has agreed in writing. Never put children's names with their photos.
Write the board, affiliation or recognition number exactly as on your certificate, and follow the board's and the law's rules on what a school may advertise.
Show fees only if you are sure they are final for the session, or say that the office shares the fee structure on WhatsApp.
List the van or bus areas by locality name, so parents can see at a glance if you come to their colony.
Add the school to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and put the website link there.

Good to know

Parents can't fill an admission form, pay fees or log in on the website; they message or call the office. For parent logins, homework, notices and fee records, make a school app connected to your own Supabase database.
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 parents apply for admission on the school website?

No. The website has no forms; every page has a WhatsApp and call button so parents can ask the office about seats and visit. The office then does the admission the way it does today.

Should a school website show the fee structure?

Only if it is fixed for the session. Many schools write the classes and facilities and say the office shares the fee structure on WhatsApp, which also starts a conversation with the parent.

Can I put photos of students and the annual function?

Only with written consent from the parents of every child who can be seen. Photos of the building, labs and playground without children are a safer choice for the campus page.

Can the website show the CBSE or state board affiliation?

Yes. Write the board and the affiliation or recognition number on the about page exactly as it appears on your certificate.

Can the school website be in Hindi?

The pages are made in English. You can describe your school to AppCub in Hindi or Hinglish, and the medium of teaching can be clearly written on every page.

Will parents searching for schools nearby find this website?

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