Download the Website Planning Checklist for Schools & Education Providers — a practical resource to help you plan a clearer, more effective website refresh with confidence.
Use the checklist to review your current website, align internal stakeholders, clarify content priorities, and identify the key decisions that need to be made before your next website project begins.
Planning a website refresh can quickly become more complex than expected. Between enrolment pathways, content updates, policies, accessibility, stakeholder feedback and internal workflows, there are a lot of moving parts to consider before a project begins.
This checklist has been created to help schools and education providers think through the key areas that shape a successful website — from strategy and structure through to launch preparation.
Clarify what your website needs to achieve, who it needs to support, and how each audience group should move through the experience.
Review your current website structure, identify essential pages, and plan what content should stay, change, be rewritten or created.
Explore how your website supports enquiries, enrolments and key actions while building confidence through clear messaging, design and proof points.
Consider how your website will be managed, what needs to be editable, and how mobile, accessibility and launch requirements will be handled.


The PDF is interactive, so you can tick off items as you work through each section. We recommend using it alongside your own notes, shared document or internal planning tool so you can capture priorities, questions and decisions as they come up.
You don’t need to have every answer straight away. The checklist is designed to help you identify what is already clear, what still needs discussion, and what should be prepared before speaking with a website partner.
At Spacey Studios, we help schools and education providers create websites that are clear, considered and easy to manage — combining strategy, design and development to support the people who use them every day.
Whether you’re preparing for a full website refresh or simply exploring what could be improved, we’d be happy to chat through your goals and help you understand what the next stage could look like.
