Schools & education

Education websites, made simple.

I design, build and improve education websites that help people find what they need, and give staff a simpler way to keep the content current.

The page has a job to do

Easy for people to use.
Easy for staff to update.

Start with the people using the site

Give families, applicants and students a clear route to practical information, admissions and enquiries, without making them learn your internal structure.

Make everyday updates manageable

Organise pages, documents and reusable content around the staff who maintain them. A clear CMS and a practical handover help keep the site useful after launch.

Selected work / Glasgow School of Art

A busy website.
Ongoing care.

My work for Glasgow School of Art covers ongoing maintenance and enhancements to the existing website, including layout consistency and content rollouts.

Performance and accessibility improvements across existing templates form part of that support, helping the team keep a changing education website useful between launches.

Make the connections useful

Less copying.
Better handoffs.

Repeated document updates and lost enquiry context create extra work for staff. We can scope a shared content source, a clearer enquiry handoff or a platform move around the systems you already use.

Talk through your setup

Airtable + Webflow resources

Scope a shared library of documents, FAQs or reusable content, with a clear owner and a route to the pages where each item belongs.

Enquiries to the right team

Map an admissions or visit enquiry to the existing CRM or team workflow, and test that the person following up receives the right context.

Platform and content migration

Plan where existing pages and documents move, how old links keep working and how staff take over the updated site.

Before we get started

A few useful
questions.

Can you work on a small school site as well as a larger education site?

Yes. Beechwood shows a nursery website rebuild; Glasgow School of Art shows ongoing support for an existing university website. The page structure, CMS and handover are scoped around your audiences, content and team.

Do we need to replace our current CMS?

We can review the current setup first. A redesign, content tidy-up or ongoing maintenance may be enough. If a move is useful, the scope includes content ownership, URL mapping and the staff who will maintain the new site.

What if three staff members all need the same access?

That is a straightforward starting point. Tell me roughly who will update the site and what they need to change. We can keep the editor setup and handover simple, with an approval step only if you need one.

Can you work alongside our marketing or internal web team?

Yes. I can work from an existing brand and page direction, deliver particular templates or take on ongoing development. We agree responsibilities for content, review and publishing at the start.

Your next chapter

Let’s make
it clearer.

Share the sites involved, what needs moving and who will update the content. Rough answers are fine; I can help turn them into a clear, manageable project.
