How to make a website for an alumni group

Old students who lost touch search for their school or college name with "alumni" and want to know one thing: is there a group, and how do I get in? A small alumni website answers that, shows the next reunion and the committee, and sends them to a coordinator on WhatsApp to be added.

What people look for on an alumni group website

Which school or college, which campus, and which batches the group covers
How an old student joins: who to message, and what to send (name, batch, stream)
The next reunion: date, venue, what it costs per person and the last day to confirm
The committee and a coordinator for each decade of batches
Photos from past reunions and from the campus then and now
What the group does for the campus: prizes, a scholarship, help with a lab or library
Mentoring or career talks for current students, if the group runs them

The pages your website needs

Home: The institution's name, the years it covers, the next reunion in one line and a WhatsApp button to join
Reunion: Date, venue, programme, contribution per person and per family, and who to confirm with
Join us: How to be added, batch coordinators by decade, and what details to send
Giving back: Prizes, scholarships or campus work the group funds, and who to talk to about helping
Committee and contact: Office bearers, batch coordinators, and WhatsApp and call buttons

Sample words for your home page

Old students of Kallai Riverside School, Kozhikode

Batches from 1975 to 2024. Our next reunion is on 27 December at the school ground. WhatsApp your batch coordinator to be added.

The alumni group started in 2012 when the 1987 batch met for its silver jubilee. Today more than forty batches are in touch. Every year we give prizes to the toppers in Class 10 and 12 and help the school with its library.

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 alumni group websites need these pages: Home, Reunion, Join us, Giving back, Committee 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 alumni group, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for the alumni group of Kallai Riverside School, Kozhikode, batches 1975 to 2024. Pages: home, reunion, join us, giving back and committee and contact. Reunion on 27 December at the school ground, 10 AM to 4 PM, ₹1,000 per person including lunch, confirm by 15 December.

Green and white colours.

Tips for an alumni group website

Name a coordinator for each range of batches; old students reply faster to someone from their own years.
Ask the school or college before you use its name, logo or photos of the campus.
Change the reunion page right after each reunion, with photos, and put the next date as soon as it is fixed.
Don't put members' phone numbers on the website; people join through a coordinator.
Write the institution's old name too if it has changed, since older batches search for that.

What it costs

Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.

Good to know

Old students can't register, pay the reunion contribution or search a member list on the website; they message a coordinator. For a member directory, RSVPs and collections, use an app for the committee.
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 old students register on the alumni website?

No. The website tells them who to message and what to send. For a list of members by batch, the committee can use an app.

Should we put the alumni member list on the website?

No. A public list of names and numbers can be misused. Keep the list in an app that only the committee or members can open.

Do we need the school's permission to make the website?

It is wise to ask the principal or management before using the institution's name, logo or campus photos, and to say clearly that the group is run by old students.

Can the website show photos from every reunion?

Yes. A gallery of past reunions is what old students like most; keep the photos to a handful per year so the page loads well on phones.

Can we collect the reunion contribution on the website?

No. The website shows the amount and who to send it to; payments inside an app need your own Razorpay account.

Will someone searching the school's name find our page?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with the school's name in titles and descriptions. Where they show up is Google's decision.
