K-12 School Website Development

I need a clean, modern informational website that showcases our K-12 school’s offerings and values while remaining easy for staff to update. The core of the project is the full design and build—from planning the site map through final deployment on our hosting.

Essential pages and sections I want online at launch are:
• About Us
• Curriculum
• Admissions
• Campus
• Why Us
• Disclosures / Policies
• Contact Us

Because families often reach out with quick questions, please integrate a live chat support feature that staff can manage from both desktop and mobile. No student portal or online assignment system is required right now, but it would be helpful if the architecture leaves room to bolt those on later without a full rebuild.

The finished site must be:
• Responsive across phones, tablets, and desktops
• Optimized for fast loading and basic on-page SEO
• Built on a platform our in-house team can update easily (WordPress, Webflow, or similar—open to your recommendation)
• Launched only after a brief hand-off session where you show us how to add news items, photos, and policy updates

Please include a realistic timeline with your proposal and note any similar school or educational sites you have completed. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right partner.
