Your website should be your most efficient registrar.

The end-of-term queue at the bank is a headache parents want to avoid.

  • Automated Payments: Integrate with MTN MoMo and Airtel Money so parents can pay fees directly from their portal.
  • Instant Receipts: Automatically send a PDF receipt via email or WhatsApp as soon as payment is confirmed.
  • Balance Tracking: Let parents see exactly how much they owe at any given time.

A school website shouldn't just be for the public; it should be the "internal heart" of the institution.

  • E-Learning Resources: Upload notes, assignments, and reading materials.
  • Report Card Access: Securely view grades and attendance records.
  • School Calendar: An interactive calendar showing exams, holidays, and sports days.
