Services · Website development · School websites
Codeeo delivers school website development Los Angeles charter schools, private schools and education nonprofits can run themselves. We build public sites that work as well in Spanish as in English, post the documents California expects charter schools to publish, take tour and enrollment requests, and switch into an emergency status page when wildfire smoke, a power outage or a heat wave changes the school day. Everything is designed to WCAG 2.1 AA, because accessibility claims in California are common and costly to defend.
Families across Los Angeles shop for schools with a phone in one hand, often in a language other than English. A site that loads quickly on a mobile connection and answers their questions in their own language earns the tour request. A slow, English only site sends that family to the next school in the results, however strong your teaching is.

Built into the site
Los Angeles schools serve families spread across a huge area, from the San Fernando Valley to South LA, Boyle Heights, Koreatown and the Westside. Many parents read Spanish first. Others read Korean, Armenian, Tagalog, Chinese or Farsi. Many commutes are long and by car, so drop off rules and parking matter as much as bell times. Charter schools carry public reporting duties under California law, while private schools answer to families paying tuition and comparing several options.
A custom school website development Los Angeles project therefore starts with content and obligations, not with a template. Below are the parts we build most often, chosen and ordered for each school during discovery. A small charter may need six of them on day one; a private school with an established brand may need only four, done very well.
Both languages get full navigation, translated forms, confirmation emails and search friendly URLs, so a Spanish speaking parent never lands on an English only page halfway through an application. California requires district schools to send notices in a home language spoken by 15 percent or more of students, and many charters and private schools adopt the same practice on their websites.
Spanish speaking families complete inquiries at the same rate as everyone else.
One page, and a site wide banner, that staff can update from a phone during wildfire smoke days, red flag warnings, public safety power shutoffs, extreme heat or an earthquake drill. Each update is timestamped, shows in both languages and links to reunification or pickup instructions you already use. The page is kept light so it loads when networks are busy.
Parents check one place and get the same answer the phone tree gives.
Charter schools in California publish documents such as the School Accountability Report Card and the Local Control and Accountability Plan. We create a document library with plain language summaries, accessible PDFs or HTML versions, and an archive by school year so families and authorizers can find each version quickly.
Required reports are public, findable and readable.
Under SB 126, California charter school boards follow the Ralph M. Brown Act, which means agendas posted ahead of meetings and public access to materials. We add a meetings section with agenda, packet and minutes fields, posting dates and an archive, so the board clerk can publish without asking a developer.
Agendas go up on time and are easy for the public to locate.
Tour slots in English and Spanish, information nights, and an interest form that records grade, home language and how the family heard about you. Charter lotteries get their own page with dates and eligibility, linked to whatever application system you use. Follow up emails go out in the language the family chose, with the next steps and the documents they will need.
Enrollment staff get clean, sorted leads during peak season.
Maps of the carpool lane, gate times, street parking rules, bike and scooter storage and nearby Metro bus or rail stops. For schools on busy corridors, a clear arrival page cuts confused calls in the first weeks of the year and keeps neighbors on side.
New families arrive on the first day knowing where to go.
Dual language immersion, STEAM, arts, athletics, special education and early childhood programs each get pages with real classroom photos, staff voices and the questions parents actually ask, rather than one long list of features. Each page ends with a next step, usually a tour or an information night.
Families can see why your program differs from the school down the street.
Templates designed and tested with screen readers and keyboard navigation against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard in the federal ADA Title II rule that covers public schools including charters. Website accessibility suits in California often add the state Unruh Civil Rights Act to ADA claims, so private schools benefit from the same care. Editors learn to write alt text and caption videos.
Lower legal exposure and a site every parent can use.
Structured data for your school, campus addresses and grades, a matching Google Business Profile for each campus, and program pages written around what Los Angeles parents search for, such as TK enrollment, dual language programs or schools near a particular neighborhood. Spanish pages are indexed in their own right rather than hidden behind a script.
Families searching in either language find the right campus.
Analytics configured to collect only what you need, a cookie and tracking notice that is accurate, and forms that do not ask for student data the website does not need. For for-profit operators that meet the CCPA and CPRA thresholds, we build the notices and request flows the law requires.
You know exactly what the site collects and why.
Who this suits
Most of our Los Angeles conversations start with one of four situations. Each needs a different first release. We plan it with you by video call, with your enrollment lead, office manager and whoever will maintain the site after launch in the room. We also ask where families drop out today: a form that fails on a phone, a tour page with no Spanish version, or a PDF calendar nobody can read. Those failures shape the first release more than any design trend does.
You need the public reporting, Brown Act postings, lottery information and bilingual pages done right, with a small team who can keep them current. We set up a lean CMS with only the roles you need, write templates for the documents you post every year and give your office a short checklist for each reporting season. Once the obligations are covered, we build pages that show what a day at your school looks like, so the website does more than satisfy an authorizer.
Compliance content first, then storytelling.
Each campus needs its own address, schedule, principal message and enrollment page, while the network keeps one brand and one set of policies. We build a shared design system with campus sections, network wide alerts and permissions that let each campus edit its pages without touching the others. A campus finder with a map and grade filters helps families who know the network but not which school is closest to home or work.
Families compare tuition schools across the region and expect a polished, fast site. We concentrate on admissions storytelling, visit booking, financial assistance guidance and an inquiry path that feeds your admissions CRM. A private school still files an annual affidavit with the California Department of Education, and we can keep related public information tidy on the site.
Admissions storytelling and visit booking lead the scope.
Expanded learning providers and youth nonprofits working inside LA schools need to recruit families, staff and funders at once. We give each group its own path, build program finders by neighborhood or school site, and route inquiries to the right coordinator in the right language. Funder pages explain your program model plainly, and a simple reporting area lets you share outcomes you can stand behind.
How we work
Schools usually begin with a fixed scope build agreed after discovery, then add a monthly care plan for updates, accessibility monitoring and help during enrollment season. Networks with ongoing digital work sometimes take a dedicated team. What drives cost is the number of templates, languages, campuses, integrations and pages to migrate, plus how much content we write for you, so each quote follows a review of your current site. We send a written scope with each item listed, so your board or finance lead can see exactly what is included before anything is signed.
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
We choose the CMS and stack based on who will edit the site and what it must connect to, often WordPress or a headless Next.js build, hosted in accounts the school controls.

It depends on languages, campuses and integrations, and we confirm dates after discovery.
A single campus site in two languages is a smaller job than a network site with campus sections, a document library and a CRM connection. After the discovery calls we write down the scope, the sign off steps and a launch window. We avoid launching during your lottery or open enrollment push, since that is when staff have the least time to learn something new. Content is often the slowest part, so we agree early who writes, translates and approves each section.
