School websites · Uganda
We design and build WordPress websites for Ugandan nursery, primary and secondary schools and colleges, with admissions, fees guidance, calendars and news in one place. Pupil data is handled with the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 in mind.
When parents in Uganda compare schools, the website is often the first thing they check, and they usually check it on a phone. They want to know what it takes to join, what fees to expect, when term begins and how to reach the office. If the answers are hard to find, the next school on the list gets the call.
We build school websites that put those answers up front and let staff keep them current. Design starts from $1,500 per project; learning areas, logins and online fee payment fall within Development, from $5,000.
We give admissions its own clear section: requirements by class or level, key dates, and an online enquiry or application form that sends submissions to the admissions office with an automatic acknowledgement. If you charge an application or interview fee, parents can pay it with MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money through Pesapal or Flutterwave, and the payment is linked to the application record.
School fees in Uganda are a frequent search, and parents expect clear guidance before they visit. We build a fees page your bursar can update each term, a term calendar, and a circulars section where letters to parents are posted as readable pages and downloads. News and events templates let a teacher post a sports day report or exam timetable in a few minutes.
Section 8 of Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 allows a child's personal data to be collected or processed only with the prior consent of a parent or guardian, unless the law requires it or it is for research or statistics. That covers application forms, pupil photos and portal accounts. We design forms with a guardian consent step, keep applications out of public view and support your registration with the Personal Data Protection Office.
Uganda has a second-level name for schools, .sc.ug, alongside .ac.ug for higher institutions and the familiar .co.ug. Because .ug registrations expect name servers to be working when the domain is ordered, we set up hosting and DNS first, then register the domain in the school's name, so the website and staff email come online together rather than weeks apart, and nothing depends on a former teacher's personal account.
Not every parent has fast data or a new phone. With a 12% excise duty on internet data, we keep pages light: compressed photos, minimal scripts and important notices in plain text rather than image posters. A parent upcountry with a basic Android handset should be able to read the fees page and term dates as easily as one on office Wi-Fi in Kampala.

For schools we point to the Alvina Schools virtual learning environment and the BFI School online platform, both built by our team in Nigeria.
Start with what parents ask the office most: admission requirements, fees guidance, term dates, location and contacts. Add news, a gallery and downloadable circulars. Secondary schools and colleges often add subject or course pages and staff contacts. We agree the structure in a discovery session with your team.
Yes. We connect payments to MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money and cards in UGX through Pesapal or Flutterwave. Each payment can carry the pupil's name or number so your bursar can match it. Online fee collection with an account per family is a Development project.
Treat it carefully. The Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 requires a parent's or guardian's prior consent before a child's personal data is processed, which includes identifiable photos. Keep consent records, and we will build galleries that respect them. Take legal advice on your consent forms.
Yes. We can add a learning area with lessons, assignments and quizzes behind a login, as our team did for Alvina Schools in Nigeria. We scope it separately so the public website is not delayed while the learning platform is planned.
No, our team is in Nigeria and works remotely. Kampala is two hours ahead of Lagos, so review calls fit easily into a school day, and we share designs and staging links so your head teacher and bursar can comment from anywhere.
Design starts from $1,500 per project, priced in US dollars, and portals or online payments are Development work from $5,000. The written scope sets out exactly what is included. We can add an indicative shilling figure for your board's budget.
