School District Websites. One district, many campuses.

A district site is really a family of sites: the district itself, every school, and the departments in between. We build them so they share a design and a governance model without every principal needing a developer, and so a parent can find a bell schedule in one search.

The problem

Districts do not have a website problem, they have a governance problem

Most districts do not fail because their site looks dated. They fail because twelve campuses each maintain their own version of the calendar, the enrollment page contradicts the registrar, and nobody can say which of four PDFs is the current handbook. The design is downstream of that.

The second failure is accessibility. Districts receive federal funding, which brings accessibility obligations with it, and a K-12 site is one of the most frequently complained-about categories on the web — usually over unlabelled forms, inaccessible PDFs and video without captions.

We build for the district as a system: a shared component library, per-campus editing that cannot break the shared parts, and a content model where the calendar and the staff directory have one source. For state and local government, the ADA Title II rule names WCAG 2.1 AA specifically, with staged compliance dates — a site built to 2.2 AA clears it.

Scope

What a district build covers

🏫

District and campus sites

One system spanning elementary, middle and high school sites, so every campus inherits the design and the accessibility work rather than rebuilding it.

Calendars and bell schedules

One source for dates, surfaced per campus. The most-searched thing on a school site should not be the hardest to find.

👪

Family communication

Enrollment, closures, menus and forms written in plain language, translated where families need it, and readable on a phone.

🧑‍🏫

Staff directories

Structured, searchable and current, without a secretary editing HTML each August.

Accessibility across every campus

WCAG 2.2 AA verified with keyboard and screen-reader passes — see Section 508 compliance for how this maps to federal funding conditions.

Migration without breakage

Every campus URL mapped before launch, so bookmarked handbooks and board minutes keep resolving.

Non-negotiables

What a district site has to get right

✓

One design and one accessibility baseline inherited by every campus

✓

Per-campus editing that cannot break shared components

✓

Calendars, directories and policies with a single source of truth

✓

Board agendas, minutes and policies that stay findable years later

✓

Translation for the languages families actually speak

✓

Documents assessed for accessibility, or replaced with web pages where that is cheaper

✓

A written handover so the district is not dependent on one vendor or one staff member

Questions

District questions

Can each school keep its own identity?

Yes, within a shared system. Campuses get their own colours, imagery and content while inheriting the structure, accessibility work and components from the district build, which is what keeps the whole estate maintainable.

Who can edit what?

That is a decision we make with you during discovery. Typically campus staff edit campus content, district communications owns shared pages, and the components that carry accessibility guarantees are locked so a well-meaning edit cannot break them.

What about our PDFs?

Handbooks, menus and board packets are usually the least accessible content on a district site. We will tell you which need remediation and which should become web pages instead — usually cheaper and far more usable on a phone.

Do you work with individual schools too?

Yes. See our K-12 schools practice, or the pages for private, parochial, Christian and public schools.
