This Perth primary school needed a professional online presence that was easy for staff to manage, welcoming for new families, and informative for the school community. We created a streamlined, mobile-friendly website that keeps parents informed and reflects the school’s values.

The Challenge

The school’s previous website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and frustrating to update. Important notices were getting missed, enrolment information was buried, and the whole experience didn’t reflect the energy and professionalism of the school. Their goals were clear:

• Showcase their community and programs

• Make it easy for families to find key info (newsletters, term dates, enrolments)

• Empower admin staff to manage content easily

• Improve communication and accessibility

Our Solution

We collaborated closely with the principal and admin team to create a clean, modern layout focused on usability and accessibility. Key features include:

• Simple navigation: Clear menus for parents, students, and staff

• Newsletter hub and calendar: Quick access to weekly updates and term events

• Online enrolment enquiry form: Streamlined first point of contact for new families

• Mobile optimisation: Responsive design so it works on any device

• News and announcements section: Easy-to-update blog for school news

• Accessibility features: High-contrast options, clear fonts, and logical reading order

Design Approach

We used a calm colour palette based on the school’s logo and branding, with plenty of white space to keep the layout uncluttered. Imagery of real students, classrooms, and school events was used to create warmth and authenticity—no generic stock images.

Tech and Admin Features

We built the site in WordPress with a custom admin dashboard tailored for non-technical staff. Additions included:

• Drag-and-drop page editor (Elementor)

• Google Calendar integration

• SEO setup using Rank Math

• Contact form with spam filtering

• Daily backups and security plugin

All staff were given a brief training session and a one-page guide on how to post updates or edit content.

The Results

• Families reported that the new site made it “much easier to stay in the loop.”

• Staff were confidently updating newsletters and blog posts within a week of launch

• The school saw a 40% increase in online enrolment enquiries within the first two terms

• Search visibility improved thanks to proper SEO structure and schema markup

What the School Said

“Our new site has made a huge difference. It’s professional, user-friendly, and has genuinely helped us better connect with families. The team at Quick Sites Perth made the process easy and empowering.”
