Development & Engineering

WordPress for education

Education WordPress sites for programmes and admissions — not an LMS stuffed into a marketing theme.

Schools and education brands need programme architecture, dates, and a path to enquire or apply. Weblexia builds WordPress for institutions and education companies that want public sites marketing can run — with programme CMS, events, and faculty or campus content — without pretending WordPress is the learning platform.

Typical engagement

  • IA for programmes, admissions, and news
  • WordPress implementation with a governed editor
  • Programme and event CMS as scoped
  • Enquiry or application-adjacent integrations
  • Accessibility and performance on core templates
  • Written reply within two business days
  • Reviewed by a senior lead — not a qualifier
  • A clear decline if the fit is not mutual

01 — What we build

What this engagement covers

  1. 01

    Programme architecture

    Courses, cohorts, and faculties as CMS so marketing is not rebuilding pages every intake.

  2. 02

    Admissions and enquiry UX

    Clear next steps, deadlines, and forms that match how you actually admit or sell.

  3. 03

    Campus and story content

    News, events, and people templates coordinators can publish without a developer.

02 — What's included

In a typical statement of work

  • IA for programmes, admissions, and news
  • WordPress implementation with a governed editor
  • Programme and event CMS as scoped
  • Enquiry or application-adjacent integrations
  • Accessibility and performance on core templates
  • Launch, redirects, and handover notes

03 — Process

How the work actually runs

  1. 01

    Publishing and operations

    Who edits the site, which pages actually convert, and which plugins or CRMs you intend to keep. WordPress scope is decided here — not after a theme is half built.

  2. 02

    Information architecture

    Templates, navigation, and a content model marketing can extend. Builder versus Gutenberg is a written choice, not a mix of three tools.

  3. 03

    Theme and CMS build

    Templates first, then content patterns, then integrations. Performance and editor training are part of the same pass.

  4. 04

    Launch and handover

    Staging sign-off, redirects, analytics, and notes on what is safe to edit. The CMS is not left as a surprise on go-live day.

05 — Why Weblexia

How we partner on this work

  • 01

    A CMS the team will still use

    WordPress fails when editors inherit a theme they cannot touch. We design templates and fields around how you actually publish.

  • 02

    One implementation path

    Gutenberg, Elementor, or a custom theme — specified. Mixing builders is how WordPress sites rot; we will not ship that as a convenience.

  • 03

    Plugins as architecture

    Forms, CRM, booking, and SEO plugins are contracted against performance and support. We document what you are expected to keep.

  • 04

    Performance as acceptance

    Core templates are measured. A marketing site that looks finished and loads in four seconds is not done.

Partnership signal

What happens when you reach out

A senior lead reads your context before the first conversation — not a script, not a junior qualifier. If we are not the right fit, we say so plainly.

Qualified inquiries receive a written response within two business days — often with a proposed discovery shape, not a generic rate card.

06 — Capabilities

What we typically implement

  • Programme CMS
  • Admissions UX
  • Events
  • Editorial systems
  • WordPress
  • PHP
  • Gutenberg
  • ACF
  • Elementor

Investment

Productized economics

Published ranges and tiers orient the conversation — final statements of work reflect your stack, traffic, and risk profile after a short consultation.

Starting from — scoped after discovery

  • WordPress and redesign engagements are priced after we see the Figma file, the current stack, and who will edit the site. We do not publish a single starter fee because plugin debt, WooCommerce, and template count change the work.
  • Consultation produces a written scope: deliverables, assumptions, and a timeline you can take to finance. See engagement models on the pricing hub.

09 — FAQs

Questions we are asked before a proposal

Do you build the LMS in WordPress?

No. This is the public marketing and information site. Learning platforms stay with Moodle, Canvas, or whatever you already operate. We link and pass the student there; we do not fake a campus in plugins.

Can parents and students find the right programme?

That is the IA job. Filters and programme templates are built around how you actually organise the catalog — not a blog dump tagged 'courses'.

Multi-campus or multi-brand?

Possible with a shared theme and CMS items for campuses. Separate brands with separate legal entities may need separate sites. We decide that in discovery, not in a theme option.

Next step

Discuss your education WordPress site with the team that ships it.

Share the current site, the Figma file, or the outcome you need. A senior lead replies with a realistic path — discovery, a scoped WordPress build, or a clear decline if we are not the right fit.
