Education Web Development
School websites built to pass Ofsted and impress parents.
We design and develop bespoke school websites in partnership with Digital Schools.
Combining 25 years of web development expertise with deep knowledge of what UK schools actually need online.
Creative collective
Delivered in partnership with Digital Schools
We work alongside Digital Schools - specialists in school website design based in Hull, trusted by over 60 schools and trusts across Yorkshire and the North.
eIgnition Creative brings 25 years of technical web development, hosting and digital strategy to the partnership.
Together, we're now expanding this service into Cumbria, putting school-grade digital expertise on your doorstep.
What we build
Every school website, done properly.
Not templates. Not off-the-shelf. Every school we work with gets a website that reflects their character, meets their statutory requirements, and actually works for the people who manage it day-to-day.
Bespoke design
Custom-designed to reflect your school's identity, ethos and community — not a template with your logo dropped in.
Ofsted-ready from day one
Every statutory requirement is built into the structure - not bolted on after. We know exactly what inspectors look for.
Staff-friendly CMS
If your admin officer can write an email, they can update the website. No coding, no waiting for your developer, no excuses.
Mobile-first build
Most parents check school websites on their phone. Every site we build is responsive, fast, and tested across all devices.
Built-in SEO
Parents searching for schools in your area should find you. We structure every site for local search and organic visibility.
Ongoing hosting & support
We host, maintain and keep your site secure. When something needs updating, you call a real person — not a support ticket queue. We structure every site for local search and organic visibility.
Statutory compliance
We know what Ofsted expects
The DfE's statutory guidance for school websites is detailed and updated regularly. We build compliance in from the start — not as an afterthought.
Admissions & governance information
Clearly signposted, always up to date, structured for parent and inspector navigation.
Curriculum & assessment details
Subject-by-subject, year-by-year — published clearly as the DfE requires.
SEND, pupil premium & sports funding
All financial and inclusion reporting requirements in plain, accessible language.
WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards
Every site we build meets or exceeds public sector accessibility requirements.
Safeguarding & policies
Child protection, behaviour and complaints policies structured for easy access.
GDPR-compliant forms & cookies
Contact forms, newsletter sign-ups and analytics are all set up lawfully from day one.
Your site, audit-ready.
We benchmark every build against the latest DfE statutory guidance.

Common questions
Things people usually ask.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is quoted based on scope — pages, functionality, and complexity. School sites typically start from £1,500. We always provide a fixed-price quote upfront so there are no surprises.
How long does a build take?
Most school sites launch within 2–4 weeks of content being signed off. Business sites vary by complexity — we'll give you a realistic timeline at the quote stage.
Can our staff update the site themselves?
Yes — that's the point. We build on a CMS that's genuinely easy to use, and we include a full training session. If you get stuck, we're a phone call away.
Do you check DfE compliance?
Every school site we build is checked against current DfE statutory information requirements before launch. We also offer an annual compliance review as part of our ongoing support.
