UI/UX Design for schools and education providers

UI/UX design works out how people move through your website or product to complete a task, then designs screens that make each step obvious. For schools and education providers, that means getting programs and year levels, enrolment steps and key dates and events and open days right, because students and families want to enquire or enrol without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Students and families want to enquire or enrol.

A school or education provider website usually has to handle enrolment enquiries and tour bookings, open days and event registrations, short course and class bookings and staff positions.

Enrolment enquiries and tour bookings: families want to see the school and ask questions before applying.

Open days and event registrations: registrations help you plan numbers for each event.

Short course and class bookings: courses with set sessions need a bookable timetable.

Staff positions: teachers and staff look for current vacancies on the school site.
