Your questions answeredFrequently asked questions about education websites
These are the practical questions we would want answered before commissioning a website—not just a list of technical terms.
Can Afix Smart Web build a website specifically for education businesses?
Yes. We begin with your actual services, customers and working process rather than forcing a generic template onto your business. For example, a page about an admissions information page needs different information from a general company introduction. We agree on the site structure, content responsibilities and enquiry flow before development starts.
How much will the website cost?
The cost depends on the number of pages, design requirements, content preparation and features. A straightforward company site is different from a system that manages course directories and downloadable prospectuses. We can discuss your priorities and prepare a quotation with the included work clearly described. You can also review our website design pricing page for initial guidance.
Will the website be easy to use on mobile phones?
Yes. We plan the phone experience alongside desktop design, including text size, button spacing, menus and forms. We test common journeys such as reading about an admissions information page and sending an admissions enquiry with the learner’s level of interest. Mobile-friendly does not just mean squeezing desktop content onto a smaller screen.
Can you use our existing domain and hosting?
Usually, yes, provided you have the appropriate access and the hosting can support the agreed website. We first review the current setup and any important email services or existing URLs. If a move is necessary, we explain the options and potential implications before changing anything.
Can our staff update pages after the website is launched?
We can build an editing workflow appropriate for your team. A an admissions officer may need to update descriptions, images, announcements or contact details without requesting development work each time. More complex changes, such as modifying a custom feature, may still require technical assistance. We clarify that difference during planning.
Can the website help us appear in Google searches?
We can prepare a sensible technical and content foundation: clear page titles, useful headings, relevant copy, internal links and mobile usability. Search performance also depends on competition, site history and ongoing work. We do not promise a specific ranking or instant results. Separate SEO services can be discussed if visibility is a priority.
Do we need to provide photographs and written content?
You can supply approved photos, service details, policies and any existing brochures. We can help organise and refine the material into readable pages. For education, accurate examples are important, so we would rather work with genuine information than fill the site with invented testimonials or misleading imagery.
What happens after someone submits an enquiry?
The website can send an enquiry to your nominated contact channel, subject to the agreed form setup and email delivery configuration. For example, it may collect an admissions enquiry with the learner’s level of interest. Your team remains responsible for reviewing requests and confirming details, especially where the admissions office verifies dates and requirements. We test the form before launch and explain the expected follow-up process.
Can we add more features later?
Often, yes. We can plan the initial website around the features that matter most and leave room for expansion. If you later need course directories and downloadable prospectuses, integrations or additional service pages, we review the current platform and scope before recommending the best approach. Planning for growth is useful, but paying for every possible feature on day one is rarely necessary.
