How much does an education website cost?−
It depends on scope. A specialist provider with 10 courses is a different project from a multi campus RTO with 200 qualifications and student management system integration. For a realistic range on your own project, the
website cost estimator prices it by scope and
our website pricing guide breaks down what different budgets actually buy. We provide a clear, detailed quote after the kickoff conversation so you know what's included.
How long does the build take?+
Typically 7 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest variables are course content readiness, compliance review turnaround, campus photography and feedback speed. Smaller providers with content prepared sit at the shorter end.
Can you integrate with our student management system?+
We can integrate with or build alongside platforms such as Wisenet, aXcelerate, VETtrak, JobReady and other systems used in Australian education. The level of integration depends on what the system supports, some allow API connections for course data, others need a more hybrid approach. We assess this during the kickoff.
Do you write the course page content?+
Yes. We write course content based on your course information, training packages and the career pathway insights your team provides, leading with what students care about. Regulatory detail like unit codes and entry requirements is included as supporting information. Your team reviews for accuracy and compliance before publication. Fees, unit codes, delivery modes, entry requirements and outcomes have to come from your handbook because they need to be exactly right, and getting them subtly wrong on a website is a compliance problem rather than a typo.
What about ASQA or TEQSA marketing compliance?+
We're familiar with the need for accurate, current and supportable education marketing. We don't write employment guarantees, unsupported salary claims, misleading completion promises or content suggesting a course is available, accredited or funded when it isn't. That said, we're not compliance advisers, your registering body requirements are your responsibility, and we encourage final review by your compliance or quality team before publication.
Can you help with international student content?+
If you hold CRICOS registration, yes. We can build dedicated international sections with course information, international fees, English language requirements, campus life, support services and clear application pathways. Visa related content should be factual, current and general, not migration advice unless prepared by an appropriately qualified adviser.
Will the site help us rank on Google?+
Every site includes SEO foundations: heading structure, metadata, schema where appropriate, course and campus pages, internal linking and mobile first performance.
Who owns the website and the code?+
The provider does. You hold the domain, the hosting, the code and every login at handover. That includes your course structure and enrolment forms, which is the part providers most often cannot take with them, and the part that takes longest to rebuild. No proprietary platform, no licence, and any developer can carry it forward.
What happens if we need changes after launch?+
You manage the ongoing changes, and there are a lot of them in education. Courses get updated each intake, fees change, units get added or retired. We build the course pages so your team can maintain them without a developer. Anything structural, come back to us or use someone else. Nothing about the build obliges you to stay.
Does our site need to meet accessibility standards?+
If you deal with government, institutions or anyone with a procurement process, expect to be asked. Beyond that it is better practice and most fixes improve the site for everyone. The
accessibility quick check runs 20 WCAG checkpoints and prioritises what to fix first.
What happens on launch day?+
Nothing dramatic, because the work happens before it. We push live at a quiet time and watch it. The
website launch checklist is the same 42 point list we work from.
What if we do not like the design?+
You approve designs before build: homepage and one course page, since the course page template is the most important thing on the site. What we design toward is clarity, because a prospective student comparing four providers is looking for duration, cost and start date. If a design decision hides any of those to look cleaner, it will cost you enrolments and we will say so.
Do you handle hosting, or do we?+
Either, in the provider's name. The education specific point is enrolment period traffic, which is genuinely spiky, and a site going slow during an application window is expensive in a way that is hard to recover. We size for the peak. If you have an existing arrangement with an IT provider we will work alongside it rather than around it.
