Education website design, built to be found.
Beautiful is the minimum. Our education websites are designed around applicant journeys, ranking factors and conversion from the first wireframe.
Designed around how applicants decide.
A Class 12 student comparing B.Des programmes, a parent checking hostel safety and a working professional looking at an online MBA all land on the same homepage with different questions. College website design that treats them as one audience ends up serving none of them well. Good education UX starts with these journeys and works backwards to navigation, page templates and calls to action.
Our designers map personas and top tasks with your admissions and academic teams, then build programme templates that answer the questions counsellors hear most: fees, eligibility, curriculum, faculty, placements and accreditation. A component-based design system keeps every school and department on brand while letting them publish independently. Performance and accessibility are designed in from the first wireframe, so the final build does not have to trade looks for speed.
Common challenges we solve.
Homepage overload
Every department wants a banner, so the homepage becomes a noticeboard that answers nothing.
Department sprawl
Each school builds its own pages in its own style, and the institution looks like ten different brands.
Desktop-first design
Layouts approved on a large monitor break or slow down on the phones applicants actually use.
