School websites built for enrolments, families and your community

We design, build and manage your school's website for one monthly fee, with no upfront build cost. It sits in the operations budget as a fixed monthly line, which makes it far easier for the board to plan around.

A school website has to serve five audiences at once

Prospective parents check the zone and how to enrol. Current families want term dates, the newsletter and this week's notices, while teachers look at vacancies and international families compare schools from the other side of the world. Your board, ERO and the wider community all land on the same homepage.

School websites grow by addition, with a new page for every request built by whoever had time that term. Over a few years the enrolment information parents need most ends up three clicks deep. A clear structure, kept current by people who manage websites for a living, takes the updates off your office and gives the school a front door that reflects the work happening inside it.

Where a school website earns its keep

Enrolments

Zone maps, the enrolment scheme, out-of-zone ballot dates and an online enrolment enquiry, laid out so parents get answers without ringing the office.

International students

For schools with an international programme, the international section is a direct revenue line. Full-year tuition for one international student at a New Zealand secondary school can be $17,000 or more, so a single extra enrolment covers the website more than twice over.

State-integrated and independent schools

Where attendance dues or tuition fees fund the school, the website does the job a printed prospectus used to do, for families who now research every option online first.

Staff and community

Vacancy pages help attract teachers, and clear pages for the PTA, fundraising and sponsors show the community how to help.

The website should always earn more than it costs

Put in what one new sign-up is worth to you and see how many it takes to cover the monthly fee. It usually takes fewer than people expect.

What you're probably wondering

These come up in almost every first conversation, so here are straight answers before you have to ask.

What's the catch with no upfront cost?

There isn't one hiding in the fine print. The monthly fee covers the new website, around 15 hours of support a year and ongoing SEO and AEO work, so you're taking on a website team as well as a website. A fixed monthly line is also a far easier conversation in a budget meeting than one large invoice followed by a separate support contract.

Are we locked into a contract?

The first term is three years and it rolls over from there, because the support, updates and search work carry on. If you need to end it during a term, you pay the remaining balance of that term in one payment and the agreement ends there. No client has ever left because they were unhappy with the work.

This is some text inside of a div block.

The agreement rolls into a new term and nothing changes on your side. We keep supporting the site, making updates and working on SEO and AEO, so it keeps bringing in more of the right people year after year.

What happens when people change over?

A managed website carries on when a volunteer or staff member moves on, because we look after it and you always keep your own analytics, Search Console and editing access.

Works alongside your school app and student management system

Your school keeps its parent app, student management system and payment tools for the day-to-day running of the school. The website links into them where families need it, so absences, notices and payments carry on exactly as they do now. Its job is the public face of the school: the first impression for new families and the reference point for current ones.

The short answers

Skyrocket designs, builds and manages websites for New Zealand primary, intermediate and secondary schools for $570 + GST a month, with no upfront build cost. The monthly fee covers design, build, hosting, ongoing management, around 15 hours of support a year and ongoing SEO and AEO work, on a three-year term that rolls over. The site works alongside the school's existing parent app and student management system.

How much does a school website cost?

$570 + GST a month with no upfront build cost, on a three-year term that rolls over. That covers design and build, hosting, security, around 15 hours of support a year and ongoing SEO and AEO work.

How does a monthly fee fit our school budget?

It sits as a fixed operating cost, paid monthly, so the board can plan for it year to year instead of finding a lump sum for a rebuild. Your business manager or finance provider will confirm exactly how it is coded in your budget.

Does it replace our school app or student management system?

No. Those stay as they are for notices, absences and payments. The website links into them and handles everything public facing, from enrolments to vacancies.

Is this a payment plan for the website?

The monthly fee pays for an ongoing partnership with our team: the website itself, around 15 hours of support a year and continuous SEO and AEO work to grow it. The term rolls over after three years because that work carries on, and your school keeps access to its own Google Analytics, Search Console and site editing the whole time.

What happens if we need to end the agreement early?

You pay the remaining balance of the current term in one payment and the agreement ends there. No client has ever left because they were unhappy with the work.

How long does a new website take?

You'll see a homepage design within a week of our first conversation. From sign-off, the full website is live in 10 to 12 weeks.

Can our office team update the website?

Yes. Your office gets editing access for news, events and notices, and we handle structural changes, so nothing depends on one staff member knowing how the site works.

How do we get this approved by the board?

We prepare a one-page proposal for your principal or business manager to table, covering the monthly cost, what's included, the three-year term and what the website is expected to do for enrolments and the community.
