Services · Website development · School websites
Codeeo handles school website development in Riyadh for private, international and national curriculum schools that want more qualified admissions enquiries and fewer repeated phone calls. We build the public site parents compare before they ever visit: curriculum pathways, admissions steps, campus pages, news, policies and careers, written Arabic first with a full English version. Riyadh families shortlist schools on a phone, often weeks before a move or a new academic year, so the site has to answer their questions clearly and make the next step obvious.
This page is about the website itself: content, search visibility and the enquiry route into your admissions office. Parent apps, fee collection and attendance tools are separate projects, and we keep them separate so the public site stays fast and simple to edit.

What the website includes
A parent comparing schools in Riyadh rarely reads a welcome message from the principal first. They look for the curriculum, the grades you take, where the campus is, whether boys and girls are taught in separate sections, how admissions work and when they can visit. A school web development company in Riyadh should build around those questions, in the order parents ask them.
The site we deliver groups that information into clear paths for three audiences: families considering the school, current parents looking for a calendar or a policy, and teachers looking for a job. Each path ends in a specific action your staff can follow up, recorded in a system your admissions team already uses. Everything below is optional and sized to the school; a single campus does not need the structure a five campus group needs.
Separate pages for KG, primary, intermediate and secondary entry, each listing the documents, assessments and age rules that apply, with an enquiry form that already knows which grade the parent is asking about. Your registrar sees the grade, preferred start term and number of children before replying.
Admissions staff reply with the right answer the first time.
Parents choose a preferred morning or afternoon, a campus and a section, and the request lands with whoever runs tours that week. Confirmation and reminder messages go out by email and WhatsApp, and the slot rules are set by your team, not hard coded.
More tours booked without a phone call to reception.
Many companies now base regional teams in Riyadh, and their staff research schools from abroad. A dedicated section explains how to apply before arriving, which records to bring, and how placement works mid year, in plain English with an Arabic counterpart.
Overseas enquiries arrive complete and ready to process.
Whether you teach the Saudi national curriculum, British, American or IB programmes, or a mix, each pathway gets its own page with subjects, assessment approach and progression, so parents can compare like with like.
Parents understand your offer before they sit down with you.
The Arabic site is designed in right to left from the start, with its own typography, menus and form fields, not a mirrored copy of the English. Each page links to its counterpart so a parent can switch language without losing their place.
Both language versions read as if written for that reader.
Child protection, behaviour, attendance, admissions and privacy policies sit in one searchable library with version dates. Pupil photos and names only appear where the school holds consent, and the CMS can flag an image whose consent has lapsed.
Policies are easy to find and images are published responsibly.
Parents search by district, so each campus gets its own page, map and Google Business Profile details, with School structured data and consistent contact information. We set up search terms around districts such as Al Malqa, Hittin, Al Narjis and Al Yasmin where you actually operate.
Each campus shows up for the families who live nearby.
Vacancies, subject needs, contract basics and an application form that collects a CV and qualifications into one inbox or your HR tool. Riyadh schools compete hard for experienced teachers, and a clear careers page shortens hiring.
Applications are organised by role from day one.
A shared calendar for term dates, exam weeks, national holidays and events such as Saudi National Day and Founding Day activities, with news posts that campus staff publish themselves. Current parents find dates without asking the office, and prospective families see a school that is active and well run.
Fewer routine calls and a site that never looks abandoned.
Forms post straight into the CRM or admissions system you use, tagged by campus, grade and language, with source tracking so you know which pages and campaigns produce families who enrol.
Every enquiry has an owner, a source and a follow up date.
Who this is for
The right school website design in Riyadh depends on who your families are and how they find you. A new campus in the north of the city needs visibility fast; an established school needs its existing reputation to show up properly online. These are the four starting points we see, and what changes for each.
If you recognise more than one, that is normal. We scope the first release around the one that limits enrolment most, then plan later releases so the site grows with the school instead of being rebuilt every few years.
Neighbourhoods such as Al Narjis and Al Yasmin have seen new private schools open alongside new housing. A new campus has no search history and no reviews, so the site must earn trust quickly: clear licensing details, real photos of the building, staff profiles, and a tour request on every key page. We plan local search from the first week so the campus page is indexed before admissions open.
Launch the admissions pages first and add news and galleries after.
Schools near the Diplomatic Quarter and along King Fahd Road enrol many families who arrive with little notice. Their parents want accreditation details, curriculum comparisons, transfer rules and contact names in English, then in Arabic for the Saudi families in the same classes. The site has to handle enquiries from many countries and time zones without losing any.
We add a timezone field to every overseas enquiry form.
Long running Saudi private schools often have strong word of mouth but an old site that is hard to update and slow on mobile. We rebuild it Arabic first, keep the URLs that already rank, move content into a CMS your staff can edit, and give boys and girls sections their own clear pages.
Redirects from the old site are mapped before anything is switched off.
A group with campuses in different districts needs one brand and one admissions system, but each campus page must stand on its own for local search and for the parents who only care about the school down the road. We build a shared structure with campus level editing rights so each principal can update their own news.
Group and campus roles are set in the CMS, not by sharing passwords.
Working with us
Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. For Riyadh schools that means discovery meetings and review sessions can happen at your campus with people from our Riyadh office, while design and development continue with the wider team. We are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
You get one project lead, a shared plan with named owners on both sides, and a working staging site you can review at any time. Decisions are written down after each review so nothing depends on memory.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Most school sites we build run on WordPress or a headless CMS with a Next.js front end, depending on how many campuses and editors you have. Hosting can be placed in a Saudi data centre where your data classification needs it, with security set against NCA controls and regular backups.

It depends on the number of pages, campuses and languages, and on how ready your content is.
A single campus site with Arabic and English versions moves faster than a group site with campus level editing and CRM integration. The slowest part is usually content: approved curriculum text, policies and photography. In discovery we set the launch date against your admissions calendar, then work back to fix dates for content, design approval and testing. If the admissions window is close, we can launch the admissions, campus and contact pages first and add the rest in a second release.
