School website development
A school website has two readers who want different things. Parents want admissions, fees, transport and proof the school is real. CBSE wants the Mandatory Public Disclosure in its format, with the documents attached. I build sites that serve both, for schools in Himachal Pradesh and across India, and give the office a way to keep them current without calling a developer.
What a school website has to do
Mandatory Public Disclosure, done properly
Appendix IX of the CBSE affiliation bye-laws, laid out as a page and not dumped as a PDF: general information, documents, results, staff and infrastructure. A row whose document hasn't arrived says so, instead of a download button that leads nowhere.
Admissions that reach the office
An enquiry form that lands in the school office's WhatsApp with the message already written, or, when the school processes applications online, a full application portal with an admin panel.
Notices, results and the calendar
The pages parents check every week. Office staff can update them without a developer, and the homepage always shows the latest notices.
Facts that match the record
The affiliation number, school code, principal and trust are identical everywhere they appear, in the footer and the School schema alike, and they match the school's CBSE SARAS record.
Fast on a parent's phone
Most parents open the site from a WhatsApp link on mobile data. The school's own photographs are served as AVIF and WebP, and the first load stays around half a megabyte.
Found for the school's name and town
School structured data, a claimed Google Business Profile and clean URLs, so “
Built and live
Pinnacle World School
A CBSE school website where every published fact traces back to the affiliation record — nothing invented.
Modern K.B.S.
A school website plus admissions portal and a self-serve admin — delivered in 7 days, against a six-month agency quote.
How the build runs
- FP101
One call
What exists, what CBSE requires, and what the office will realistically maintain.
- FP202
A facts sheet
Every figure with its source. Gaps become a plain-language list for the school instead of guesses on the site.
- QUALI03
Design and build
Prerendered pages, tested on phones, with old URLs redirected so no existing link breaks.
- RACE04
Handover
An admin panel or simple edits, plus a checklist of the documents still to be published.
Questions I get.
CBSE's affiliation bye-laws require a Mandatory Public Disclosure on the school's website (Appendix IX). It covers general information, documents and certificates such as affiliation, NOC, recognition and safety certificates, Class X and XII results, staff details and infrastructure. Beyond compliance, parents look for admissions, fees, transport, notices and the academic calendar.
From ₹25,000 for a school website with an admin panel. A public site with the CBSE pages is a different build from one with a full online admissions portal, so I quote fixed and in writing after one call, and neither comes with a recurring software fee.
Modern K.B.S.'s public site and admissions portal went live in 7 days, where other agencies had quoted six months. Most of the timeline for a school depends on how quickly the documents and facts can be confirmed, not on the build.
Yes. Pinnacle World School's content lives in collections behind an admin panel, and Modern K.B.S.'s office processes admissions in its own dashboard. Neither needs a developer for day-to-day updates.
Yes. When Pinnacle World School moved to its own domain, all 14 of the old site's URLs were 308-redirected to their new pages, so bookmarks, WhatsApp forwards and search results kept working.
Yes. The work runs over WhatsApp, calls and screen-shares, so a school anywhere in India gets the same process. Schools in Kangra and nearby districts can also meet in person.
Tell me about yours.
Message me what you run and where. I'll tell you honestly what a website would change, and what it would cost, fixed and in writing.
