Built in Nigeria, for Nigerian schools

The school website that runs itself.

Write your content once. Pick a design. Schoolpager does the rest — your domain, the security certificate, email on your own name, Google, updates to parents — and keeps the site alive long after the launch excitement fades.

Built on the services schools already trust

Why we built it

Most school websites are dead by the second term.

Not because anyone stopped caring — because the developer moved on, the hosting lapsed, and nobody in the office could change a word without calling someone. Schoolpager is built against each of those failures.

What usually happens

“Latest news” is from 2023

Updating the site means a developer, a fee and a wait. So it stops being updated, and parents stop looking.

The office edits it like a form. Photos arrive by email from a phone. A freshness score on the dashboard says exactly what is stale and offers the one-tap fix.

What usually happens

Nobody can find it on Google

The site exists, but it was never registered with Google, has no sitemap and no structured data. Searching the school's name finds Facebook.

Verified with Google Search Console the minute you publish, sitemap submitted, structured data on every page — and you see what parents searched to find you.

What usually happens

Email is still @gmail.com

A domain was bought once, by someone. Where the login is, nobody remembers. The renewal notice went to an old address.

Your domain is registered in the school's own name, the certificate renews itself, and mailboxes on your domain are set up from the admin — no DNS record typed by anyone.

What it does

Everything a school website needs, already wired.

These are screenshots of the real admin, not mock-ups. Every one of these screens is live today.

Found on Google

Registered with Google the minute you publish. Automatically.

No Search Console account to make, no code to paste. Schoolpager proves to Google that the site is yours, hands over the sitemap and reads back how people found you — the searches, the clicks, the position.

  • Ownership verified and sitemap submitted within a minute of publishing
  • Titles, descriptions and structured data on every page, on every design
  • “What people searched to find you” on your dashboard and in your monthly digest
The Found on Google card in the Schoolpager admin: 4,312 appearances in Google results, 223 clicks, ownership verified, sitemap submitted, and the searches that found the school
School email

office@yourschool.ng, set up from the admin.

Mailboxes on your own domain, ready in about ten minutes. We write every DNS record — MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC — and check them against the world, not just against ourselves. Works on any phone's mail app.

  • Create, reset and remove mailboxes yourself; a removal waits 24 hours in case
  • A delivery check that explains, in plain words, why an email might not arrive
  • Phone setup guide for Gmail, Outlook and the built-in mail apps
Powered by Zoho MailSPF · DKIM · DMARC handled

Updates to parents

Send a notice to every parent who asked for one.

Parents sign up on your website and confirm from their inbox. When you publish a post or an event, one button sends it to them — from your school's name, with your school's reply address. No lists to upload, no spam folder.

  • Only people who confirmed by email, ever — the rule that keeps your messages in the inbox
  • One-click unsubscribe in every message, as Gmail and Yahoo require
  • Bounces and complaints handled for you; a bad address leaves the list on its own

Fees and payments

Collect fees on the website, straight into the school's account.

Term fees, application fees, shop orders, donations — paid on Paystack's secure page, into your Paystack account, with a receipt the parent can download and a ledger you can reconcile. We never touch the money.

  • Every payment verified with Paystack before it is marked paid — never trusted from a redirect
  • PDF receipts, emailed and downloadable, without a parent needing an account
  • Application tracking: a parent checks their child's application with a reference

Your dashboard

You'll know how the site is doing without logging in.

Visitors and page views counted privately — no cookies, no IP addresses stored. A freshness score that says what a parent would notice is missing, and the one place to fix it. And every month, an email to the owner with the numbers.

  • Monthly (or weekly) digest: visitors, top pages, enquiries, payments, Google searches, what needs you
  • Schedule posts ahead; term-date reminders drafted for you, never published without you
  • Photos emailed from a teacher's phone become draft gallery posts, captioned

Domains and security

Your domain, in your name, with a certificate that renews itself.

Bring a domain you already own or buy one from the admin — either way it is registered to the school, not to us. The https certificate is issued and renewed without anyone touching a server, and you can edit your own DNS records if you ever need to.

  • Free yourschool.fpager.com address from day one; it keeps working for ever
  • Full DNS editor for A, CNAME, MX and TXT records, with a “has it propagated?” check
  • Point the domain elsewhere tomorrow if you wish — it is yours

And the rest

Small things that add up to a site that stays alive.

Website › Import in the admin

Bring your old website in

Type its address. Pages, staff, news and photos arrive as drafts; every old link is sent to its new home so Google never loses you.

Website › Pages in the admin: sections toggled on and off with plain-English reasons

Toggles, not layout tools

Pages and sections switch on when there is something to show and hide when there isn't. No empty menus, no broken layouts.

Content › Schedule in the admin: a timeline of posts going live

Write now, publish on the day

Schedule the resumption notice for the morning it matters. Term dates and holidays are drafted for you from the school calendar.

Website › Design in the admin: the template picker with real previews

Switch designs without losing a word

Your content is a library; the design decides what to show. Change designs any time — colours and fonts within each design are yours to set.

A school website on a phone

Built for the phone first

Every design is reviewed at 360, 768, 1280 and 1920 pixels. Most parents will only ever see the site on a phone; it is made for that.

Forms on a school website

18 forms, one inbox

Applications, visit bookings, enquiries, feedback, alumni registration and more — ready to switch on, landing in one inbox with email alerts.

Add-ons

Install what your school needs. Remove it the day you don't.

A shelf of the things schools keep asking a website for. Each one is built and checked by us, switched on in about a minute, and painted in your design's own colours — nothing third-party is ever uploaded to your site. Paystack comes installed; add your keys and fees start arriving.

Designs

Genuinely different designs — and every one shows your content.

A few from a catalogue that keeps growing. This is the same school, Greenfield Academy, on each of them: not one theme in different colours, but different navigation, different heroes, different rhythm. Switch whenever you like; nothing you wrote is lost.

Day one

Times are real, from the platform's own logs. Certificate issuance is measured in seconds when your domain already points at us; nameserver changes can take longer to reach the world, which is out of anyone's hands.

Questions

Asked by every school so far.

Do we need a developer or an IT person?

No. The admin is built for a school secretary on a phone: you fill in forms and switch things on and off. If you can send an email, you can run the site. Premium schools can also send us up to four updates a month to do for them.

We already have a website. Do we start again?

No. Give us its address and prove it is yours (a DNS record or a small file); we read every page and bring in the text, staff, news and photos as drafts for you to review. Every old link is redirected to its new home, so Google does not lose you.

Can we use our own domain?

Yes — connect one you already own, or buy one from the admin. Either way it is registered in the school's name, not ours, and you can move it elsewhere whenever you like. Until then you also have a free yourschool.fpager.com address that keeps working for ever.

Who owns the content and the photos?

Your school does, always. We host it and never claim it. If you ever leave, you can ask for a copy of everything in ordinary formats.

What happens if we are late paying?

Nothing dramatic. There are 14 days of grace, then the admin becomes read-only while the website stays exactly as it is, and only much later does the site go offline with a holding message. Nothing is deleted, and one payment restores everything.

Is it secure? Where is our data?

Every page is served over https with a certificate that renews itself. Each school's data is separated at the database level and tested for it on every change. Passwords are hashed, payment keys are encrypted, and the platform is backed up every night. Our privacy policy — under the Nigeria Data Protection Act — is here.

Does the site work well on phones?

It is built for them first. Every design is reviewed at four screen sizes, images are served in the right size for the screen, and visit counts are made without cookies or tracking.

Your school could be on Google by tonight.

Fourteen days free, no card, private until you publish. Answer five questions and the first draft of your pages is written for you — in your school's own voice.
