Childcare website design for centres across Australia
Childcare website design for long day care, preschool, OSHC and family day care providers across Australia. We build your centre website around one action: a parent on a phone booking a tour. From $2,000 inc GST, live in two weeks. We write the pages, and the files stay in your name.
Websites for childcare centres, built around the tour
By the time a parent opens your website, they have already seen your National Quality Standard rating on StartingBlocks. They are there to decide one thing: whether your centre is worth an hour of a Saturday.
That decision has to survive a small screen and four other centres open in other tabs. So we build the site around the tour request and connect the enrolment software you already run. Ten pages, two weeks, for early learning services and care providers across Australia.
Most child care web design still sells a brochure with a contact form at the bottom. Childcare web design should start with what the parent came to do.
Childcare providers we build for
Long day care centres, from one service to a small group
Preschools and kindergartens, including community managed early childhood services
Outside school hours care, where parents compare logistics more than the educational program
Family day care schemes and educators
Daycare groups of two to five centres needing one brand and a page per location
Your fees page is out of date
Three things changed in 2026 and every one of them landed on your website. You know the policy. Here is what it costs you if the site has not caught up.
The Three Day Guarantee, 5 January 2026. The activity test is gone, so prospective parents who never qualified for Child Care Subsidy before are enquiring now. Your fees page answers the old question. We rewrite it against the current rules.
The worker register, 27 February 2026. Checks and qualifications sit in one place now, which makes loose wording about your educators easy to check. We highlight every claim about your team that needs a second look.
Child safety training, mandatory since 31 July 2026. Under the National Quality Framework, families now arrive with the question already formed. A site that says nothing reads as an omission, so we write the section and ensure it matches what you actually do.
Three essential fixes, none of them an extra line on the invoice.
What a well-designed childcare centre website does
Search for good childcare websites and you land on the national groups. That is what a modern centre website looks like, and those childcare providers spend more on their online presence in a year than a single centre spends in a decade. You do not need their budget to reach the same standard, and none of it is a digital secret.
Mobile friendly first. Almost every enquiry starts on a phone, at night, one-handed. A responsive, mobile-friendly layout that loads fast, and a form that does not interrogate a tired parent at 10pm.
Authentic photos that showcase your own facility, not stock images of a nursery that is clearly not yours.
A plain interface your team can use. WordPress plus training, so somebody can update content in five minutes without ringing us.
One page per program, so each age group can be found and attract its own enquiries.
A secure area that keeps families engaged, with room updates and daily photo galleries kept away from the public pages.
We write your pages
Website projects in this sector do not stall on design. They stall because nobody has an afternoon to write about the nursery room.
So we write it. You spend forty-five minutes on a call telling us how your service actually runs, and we build the pages from that, your existing site and whatever social media is relevant. You review, you correct what we got wrong, and your part is done until launch.
Two rounds of changes, a training session, and thirty days of support afterwards.
Get found, and lift your occupancy rate
An unfilled place still costs you rent, staff and compliance. And almost nobody searching online types your centre's name. They search for long day care in a suburb, or a kindergarten near a train line, and a prospective parent finds your competitor instead.
Page structure, titles, real text instead of words baked into images, one page per program: this is search engine work, and it is cheaper to build in than to retrofit. Every build gets those foundations. The SEO Launch adds keyword research page by page, suburb and program pages, your Google Business Profile and structured data. Ongoing SEO carries it monthly, with analytics and reporting that turn search results into insight you can act on.
What a childcare centre website costs
Three packages. All prices include GST, and payment splits in half: 50 per cent to start, 50 per cent at launch.
Every build carries the same guarantee. The two weeks starts the day you send photos, text and logins, and if we miss it for our own reasons your final payment drops 10 per cent for every week we are late.

Recent work
Web Ways Tech is led by Vasilii Aldukhov, founder and developer, building websites for ten years from Kogarah in Sydney. We specialise in WordPress builds for service businesses, with clients across Australia.
Skiva Technologies — commercial refrigeration, Brisbane
Six services sat behind one page, with every homepage tile linking to the same URL. We split them into eight pages, each with its own heading, copy and enquiry form, and built a call path for someone standing in front of a cold room that has stopped. Live in two weeks.
Balkan Automotive — automotive diagnostics, Katoomba NSW
Eight specialist services read as one undifferentiated offer, so nobody could tell what the workshop actually handled. We gave each service its own page and built the site phone-first with tap-to-call, because people search for this beside a car that will not start. Live in fourteen days.
Purpose Bureau — ESG data platform, Sydney
Two products blurred into one another in front of four different buying teams. We gave each its own page and journey, opened with the buyer's problem instead of a feature list, and handed over a component system the marketing team now publishes on alone. Live in four weeks.
Blossom Care — registered NDIS provider, Kings Park NSW
Seven registration groups sat on a single page, so neither a participant nor a support coordinator could find the support they came for. We gave each group its own page and built two separate enquiry paths, because those two readers arrive with different questions. Live in two weeks.
Different industries, the same three problems: services buried on one page, a site nobody on the team could update, and no clear path to the one action that mattered. A child care centre with four programs, a waitlist and a tour request has all three at once.
See more of our recent work, or the websites we build for registered NDIS providers.
Client reviews that build trust
We do not choose which reviews show here, and we cannot edit them. This is the unfiltered feedback, from every kind of business we build for.
I highly recommend it.
What really impressed me was his attention to detail and how he used the latest technologies to make the app not just work but really stand out. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff when it comes to custom web app development, Vasilii is the person to go to. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!
However, thanks to Vasilii, an amazing design was created that perfectly conveyed the concept of my company. The communication with the web studio was prompt, polite, and responsive, and the staff worked hard. The layouts for the designs and finished website were completed on time! I would also like to mention the convenience of using the new site, as various functions were added that I hadn't even known about!
Many thanks to this company for their high-quality work.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a childcare website cost in Australia?
$2,000 including GST for the build, or $3,300 with the search work at launch. Ongoing SEO is $790 a month and you can stop any time. Payment splits in half, which keeps it inside most centre budgets, and the two week guarantee applies to every build.
Is there a monthly fee?
Not to us. Hosting is billed to you directly by the host, usually a few hundred dollars a year, and the account stays in your name. There is no compulsory management fee and no lock-in period.
Do you connect Xplor, QK Enrol or My Family Lounge?
Yes. We place the button and embed the form your system already provides, so enrolment enquiries, waitlist sign-ups and tour bookings land in the platform your team checks every morning. No double entry, and no new login for your educators. Storypark links out to each child's learning portfolio the same way. Custom API work is outside what we do, so tell us the platform name and we will confirm what it supports before you commit.
Can we put photos of the children on the site?
Some, where you hold authorisation that specifically covers a public web page. Enrolment consent often does not, and publishing a child's photo openly is a disclosure under Australian Privacy Principle 6. Most centres settle on a small approved set of happy children and educators at work, which is what builds trust with new families, and keep everyday photo galleries behind a login.
Can parents have a private login area?
Yes, quoted separately from the build. It is where room updates, newsletters, daily photos, rosters and forms sit, away from public pages. Most single centres do not need one on day one, which is why it is not bundled into the base price. Once it is live you invite your families in by email.
Will a new website improve our occupancy rate?
It can help, and we will not put a number on it. A website makes sure a family who finds you understands your programs, sees your fees and books a tour without ringing. It cannot generate demand where no families are looking. Anyone promising a specific occupancy rate is guessing.
We already have a website. Will you update it instead?
Often that is the cheaper answer. Send us the address and we will say whether the structure is sound enough to fix or whether it needs a website redesign.
Talk to us about your centre website
Tell us what is not working. We will open your site on a phone, try to book a tour the way a parent would, check the fees page against current subsidy rules, and send a short list of what we found. A couple of days, no cost, and the feedback is yours to use however you like.
No website yet? Send your programs and your suburb and we will come back with a structure and a price.
