Websites for New York schools that win the inquiry before the open house.

Education website development in New York is what Codeeo does for independent schools, charter schools, licensed private career schools, ESL and adult literacy programs, test prep companies and continuing professional education providers across the five boroughs and the suburbs. We design and build sites with program pages, admissions and inquiry flows, multilingual content and a CMS your staff control, with the privacy and accessibility work that New York regulators and families expect already in place.

New York families and adult learners have more choices within a subway ride than most cities have in total. The website is where the shortlist gets made, often on a phone between stops, and schools that make information hard to find rarely make the list.

Website capabilities

What a New York education website has to handle.

Admissions in New York runs on a tight calendar. Independent school applications, high school choice, charter lotteries and the start dates of career programs all bunch into the same few months, and the website takes the heaviest traffic of the year exactly when staff are busiest. The site has to answer questions on its own, collect clean inquiries and let staff publish updates in minutes, from an office in Harlem or a laptop at home in Staten Island.

These are the capabilities we build most often for New York clients. Discovery decides which belong in your first release. A Midtown CLE provider needs a course calendar and attorney friendly search far more than a parent portal, while a Brooklyn charter network needs lottery information in many languages before anything else.

Explain your project
  • Translation for the languages of the boroughs

    Pages that matter to families published in the languages your community reads, which in New York City commonly includes Spanish, Chinese, Bengali, Russian, Haitian Creole, Korean, Arabic, Urdu and French. We plan right to left layouts for Arabic and Urdu, separate URLs for each language and a review step so policy pages are never machine translated without checking.

    Every family can follow the admissions steps.

  • Admissions timelines and lottery pages

    A single admissions section with key dates, eligibility, lottery or application steps, open house sign ups and what happens after an offer. Dates live in one place in the CMS and appear wherever they are relevant, so a change to a deadline does not leave an old date on a forgotten page.

    Fewer calls asking which date is right.

  • Licensed program pages for BPSS schools

    Private career schools licensed by the Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision at the New York State Education Department need program descriptions that match what was approved. We build program templates with fixed fields for hours, credential, schedule and admission requirements, edited only by roles you choose, so advertising copy stays consistent with the licensed curriculum.

    Program pages stay in line with what the state approved.

  • Course calendars for professional education

    Searchable listings of upcoming courses, webinars and in person sessions with credit types, formats and registration links. Professionals in law, accounting, health care and finance search by credit type and date, so the filters follow those habits rather than your internal department names.

    Professionals find a course that meets their credit requirement.

  • Location pages with transit directions

    A page for each campus or classroom site with the nearest subway lines, bus routes, accessible entrances and building access notes, plus schema markup and a link to the matching Google Business Profile. Learners comparing a program in Downtown Brooklyn with one in Long Island City can see the commute before they inquire.

    People choose the site they can actually reach.

  • Inquiry routing by program and borough

    Forms that route inquiries to the right admissions officer or campus based on program, grade and borough, with automatic replies that tell people what happens next. Leads flow into Salesforce, HubSpot, Slate or your school information system, and duplicate submissions are merged rather than counted twice.

    Each inquiry lands with the person who can answer it.

  • Privacy built for New York law

    Data minimization on every form, encryption, access controls and breach response notes written to the reasonable safeguards standard of the New York SHIELD Act. For sites directed at people under 18 we apply the New York Child Data Protection Act, which limits processing of minors' data to what is strictly necessary unless informed consent is obtained.

    Personal data is collected only where it has a purpose.

  • Vendor transparency for school districts

    If you sell services to New York public schools, Education Law 2-d requires districts to publish a parents' bill of rights and supplemental information for contractors who receive student data. We build a clear data privacy page on your site describing what you collect and how it is protected, which makes district reviews easier.

    District buyers find your privacy answers before they ask.

  • Accessible pages and documents

    Templates designed and tested to WCAG 2.1 AA, accessible forms, captioned videos and board or policy documents converted to readable pages. Public charter schools are covered by the federal Title II rule, and private schools receive ADA complaints, and federal courts in New York hear a large share of the country's website accessibility suits.

    Students and parents with disabilities can use the site fully.

  • Fast pages on crowded networks

    Lightweight templates, compressed images, a content delivery network and careful script budgets, so pages load quickly on a phone in a packed train car or a weak signal in an older building. We measure Core Web Vitals before launch and set alerts if they slip.

    Visitors stay because the page appears fast.

Who this is for

Four New York education providers we design for.

New York's education market ranges from century old independent schools on the Upper East Side to a two room ESL program in Jackson Heights. Education website design in New York has to match the institution, not a generic school template. We start by learning who enrolls, how they decide and what slows them down, and we write the site around those answers.

01

Independent and faith based schools

Admissions teams here manage high volumes of inquiries during a short season and families who read every page closely. We build sites with deep academic and student life content, clear tuition assistance steps, tour and interview booking and a calm, easy structure for applicants who may be four years old or fourteen. Parent login links connect to the platforms you already use. We also plan pages for the families who move to New York from abroad mid year and need to understand placement quickly.

Admissions and marketing usually share ownership.

02

Charter schools and networks

Charter networks need lottery information, enrollment steps and governance documents in many languages, plus a separate page for each school that still shares the network brand. We use a shared component library so network and school teams edit their own content without breaking the design. A new school opening in another borough becomes a few days of content work rather than a new website.

Board materials are published as accessible pages.

03

Private career schools and ESL programs

BPSS licensed schools and English language programs serve adults who are often new to the city and working long hours. We design for short visits on phones, with clear schedules, start dates, location and transit details, and a way to request a callback in the learner's language. Pages avoid jargon and long paragraphs, because many readers are still building their English.

Licensed program facts come from your approved files.

04

Test prep and professional education providers

Specialized high school test prep, Regents tutoring, graduate exam prep and continuing professional education depend on search and repeat customers. We build course finders, instructor pages and landing pages for each exam or credit type, connected to your registration platform. Reviews and pass rate claims are shown only where you can document them, which keeps advertising honest and defensible.

Online checkout for courses can be scoped as its own project.

Our six step plan for New York education sites.

  1. 01Video discovery sessionsInterviews with admissions, communications and compliance staff, a review of analytics, search data and inquiry volumes, and a list of the laws and licensing rules that apply to you.
  2. 02Information architectureA sitemap for each language, a content audit marking pages to keep, rewrite or remove, and a full redirect map for your current URLs.
  3. 03Design system and templatesA component library and page designs tested on small phones first, reviewed with your team for accessibility, brand and clarity before development.
  4. 04Build and connectCMS setup with roles, inquiry routing, CRM and registration links, consent tools and the privacy pages your district buyers and families need.
  5. 05Quality checksAccessibility testing with assistive technology, speed checks, form tests in each language and a review of every third party script before release.
  6. 06Launch, training and supportRedirects and sitemap submission on launch day, recorded editor training and support through the next admissions cycle and beyond.

Technology

Questions New York schools ask us.

We set the timeline after discovery, based on scope.

The number of templates, languages and integrations decides the timeline, and so does how quickly your team can review content. A single school site moves faster than a charter network with a dozen school pages. After discovery we write down the dates for design, build, testing and launch, and we plan launch so it does not land during your application deadlines or open house season. If you need something live sooner, we can release the admissions section first and follow with the rest of the site.
