Websites, Software & Cybersecurity for Schools & Districts

Schools and districts need websites that every family can use, that staff can update without a developer, and that keep student information safe. We build fast, accessible school websites, custom portals and tools, and the cybersecurity to protect them — for K-12 schools and districts in Whatcom County and beyond.

What we build for schools & school districts

Accessible, mobile-first websites built to WCAG / ADA / Section 508 guidelines
Easy content updates for staff — no developer needed for day-to-day changes
Student, parent, and staff portals and custom applications
Cybersecurity and student-data privacy practices (FERPA-aware)
Reliable managed hosting, backups, and ongoing support

A school's website is where families check the calendar, find a teacher, register, and stay informed — and where prospective families form a first impression. When it's slow, hard to navigate on a phone, or inaccessible to someone using a screen reader, it fails the people it's meant to serve. We build school websites that are fast, genuinely accessible, and simple for staff to keep current.

Beyond the public site, schools run on information — enrollment, forms, schedules, communication. Off-the-shelf tools rarely fit a specific district's workflow, so we build custom portals and applications around how your school actually operates, and we build them with student-data privacy and security in mind from the start.

You get one accountable partner who designs, builds, secures, and maintains it all — with honest, fixed pricing scoped to a school budget, and work you own outright rather than rent from a platform.

What matters most for schools & school districts

1
Accessibility is not optional

Public-facing school content is expected to meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, Section 508). We build to those guidelines — semantic markup, keyboard navigation, contrast, and screen-reader support — so every family can use the site. (We build to the standards; formal accessibility auditing/certification is a separate service we can point you toward.)

2
Student-data privacy

Anything that touches student information is built with privacy and security in mind, in line with FERPA principles — least-access, encryption in transit, tested backups, and no unnecessary data collection.

3
Built for non-technical staff

Teachers and office staff should be able to post an update or change the calendar in minutes. We set up simple, guarded editing so the site stays current without a support ticket.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build accessible (ADA / Section 508) school websites?
Yes. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA / ADA / Section 508 guidelines — semantic structure, keyboard navigation, sufficient contrast, alt text, and screen-reader support — so your site works for every family. We build to the standards; if you need a formal third-party accessibility audit or VPAT, we can point you to a specialist.
How do you protect student data?
We build anything touching student information with privacy and security first — encryption in transit, least-access permissions, tested backups, and collecting only what's needed — consistent with FERPA principles. We don't claim any specific certification; we apply sound security practices and are transparent about what we do.
Can our office staff update the site themselves?
Yes. We set up simple, guarded content editing so staff can change calendars, staff pages, news, and forms in minutes — no developer or support ticket required for everyday updates.
Do you work with school budgets and procurement?
Yes. We quote a clear, fixed price up front, scope to fit the budget, and can provide the documentation your district needs for procurement. You own the finished site and accounts outright.
