In today’s digital world a school’s website does more than share information—it connects communities. Parents expect instant updates teachers need easy ways to communicate and students look for resources that support their learning. With 90% of people browsing on mobile devices and over half of web traffic coming from smartphones or tablets a responsive and accessible website isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential.
We understand that every school has unique needs. Whether it’s posting homework, sharing news, or making sure the site’s accessible to everyone, a well-designed platform streamlines communication and keeps families engaged. By focusing on user-friendly design, strong security, and compliance with privacy guidelines we help schools create digital spaces that feel welcoming and safe for all.

I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

The Importance of a Modern School Website
A modern school website is essential for establishing trust and credibility with your community. Parents, students and staff expect a seamless digital experience when accessing school updates, contacting teachers or viewing important dates. If your website appears outdated or isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re likely losing engagement and inquiries. In Australia, 89% of adults access the internet via smartphones (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022). That means a responsive, accessible design helps your school connect with more families—no matter the device they use.
We see schools with intuitive navigation and fast-loading content consistently outperform those with cluttered, slow, or inaccessible sites. Clear menu structures, easy-to-use search functions, and accessible layouts make information gathering stress-free for users. That directly impacts enrolment interest and boosts family satisfaction.
A robust school website also supports compliance with privacy regulations like the Australian Privacy Principles. Secure features help you manage sensitive student data responsibly, which reassures visitors that their information is safe. Accessibility isn’t just a tick-box—WCAG compliance lets all users, including those with disabilities, interact comfortably.
When you partner with AGR Technology for school website design and development, we deliver not only a beautiful digital platform but a reliable, fully featured gateway for your school’s future. Our sites are built with best-practice security, flexible content management, and custom features like calendars, staff directories and parent communication tools. We’ve helped schools across the country transform their online presence—let’s elevate yours today.
