Why does the school need an updated website?

An outdated or cumbersome page creates frustration.

• Simple information flow: Parents should quickly find after-school information, school schedules, deadlines and contact information.

• Mobile-friendliness: Most parents check school on the go on their mobile phones. Our pages automatically adapt to all screens.

This is what a modern school website must contain

A school website has very specific requirements for accessibility, structure and security. We equip your school with a solution that meets all of these needs:

1. 100 % Universal design (WCAG requirements)

In Norway, there are strict legal requirements that digital solutions for education must be universally designed. This means that the school website must be usable by everyone – including people with visual or hearing impairments. This means, for example, that users with visual impairments must be given a text alternative for non-text content, such as images. All public sector enterprises and private schools entitled to government subsidies are required to have an accessibility statement on their website. The statement must be updated at least once a year, or if major changes are made to the website. Our websites are built with correct heading structure, good color contrast, and support for screen readers, so that the school follows the current requirements from the Norwegian Directorate for Digitalisation.

2. Extremely easy to update the school website

Teachers and administrators don't have time to spend hours on complicated publishing tools. With the visual design tool Divi in WordPress, updating your school portal is as easy as writing a Word document. You can easily add news stories, change contact information, or upload weekly schedules in seconds.

3. Quick access to important tools

Easy integration or shortcuts to external learning platforms (such as Visma InSchool, Vigil, Fronts, Teams or Google Classroom).

4. Calendar, school schedule and weekly plans

Make everyday life easier for parents. We set up clear calendar functions where you can easily enter:

• School schedule (holidays, days off and planned days)

• Parent meetings and theme evenings

• After-school activities and trips

5. Safe handling of privacy and GDPR

Student photos, contact information, and forms must be handled with the utmost care. We set up secure contact forms with SSL encryption (HTTPS), and help you set up a clean structure for consent and privacy policy.

6. Lightning fast and 100% mobile-friendly

Parents often check messages and weekly schedules from their mobile phones during a hectic day. The website adapts seamlessly to all screen sizes – from mobile and tablet to PC – with large fonts and clear menu options.

How the school website process works

1. Needs analysis: We listen to the school's unique needs and who the primary target group is (parents vs. students).
2. Design and layout: We design an inviting and professional visual profile that reflects the school's values.
3. Training: We give you a thorough introduction to how the site is updated on a daily basis, so that you are self-sufficient.
4. Launch and follow-up: We test everything before launch and provide reliable technical support afterwards.

Full ownership and predictable prices

Many schools are locked into expensive school systems with high annual licenses. If you choose Hjemmesidene.no, the school or school owner owns the website 100 % themselves.

We set up the domain, hosting, security and design for a predictable fixed price, and provide employees with thorough training on how to use the site. If you would like us to take care of all technical maintenance, backups and updates in the background, we also offer affordable operating agreements.
