Content Management
Educational websites often serve dozens of departments, each with their own pages, styles, and priorities—resulting in fragmented content, broken links, and an inconsistent experience. Staff members are frequently overwhelmed by outdated or overly complex CMS interfaces that discourage regular updates.
We unify the digital experience by creating centralized, user-friendly admin interfaces using WordPress multisite or custom Gutenberg-based dashboards. Training faculty and staff is built into our process, empowering non-technical users with structured templates, clear workflows, and approval systems that maintain brand integrity while decentralizing content creation.
Calendar & Event Management
Institutions frequently rely on outdated or disjointed calendar tools, leading to confusion about academic dates, extracurricular events, or parent-teacher meetings. Syncing data across systems (e.g., Google Calendar, campus platforms) is often manual and error-prone.
CampDads develops robust event systems with intuitive calendar interfaces, dynamic filtering, and integrations that sync with internal platforms or external tools like Google Workspace. We prioritize clarity and discoverability, ensuring that parents, students, and faculty always know what’s happening—no matter their device or digital literacy.
Enrollment & Application Flows
Legacy systems or PDF-based forms create unnecessary friction for prospective students and families navigating the admissions process. Slow, confusing workflows can hurt enrollment and overwhelm administrative teams with manual tasks.
We modernize the enrollment journey through custom application portals with progress tracking, conditional logic, and real-time validation. By connecting front-end forms to backend systems (SIS, CRM, email automation), we streamline processing and reduce administrative burden—all while delivering a polished, welcoming digital experience to new families.
Mobile Responsiveness & Performance
Students, parents, and faculty increasingly access school websites from mobile devices, yet many education sites still suffer from sluggish load times and unoptimized layouts on phones or tablets. These performance issues impact everything from event signups to classroom resource access.
Our approach combines mobile-first design with lightweight, performance-optimized front-end builds. We leverage responsive frameworks, image lazy-loading, and CDN integration to ensure lightning-fast load times and seamless interaction across all screen sizes. The result is a consistent and accessible experience regardless of device or bandwidth.
Accessibility & ADA Compliance
Many educational institutions struggle to maintain websites that meet evolving accessibility standards, especially WCAG and ADA guidelines. This can lead to poor user experience for students with disabilities and potential legal risks for the institution. Administrators often lack the tools or expertise to audit and correct accessibility issues consistently.
At CampDads, we build every project with accessibility baked in from day one—not bolted on after the fact. Our design system includes semantic HTML, ARIA labeling, contrast testing, and keyboard navigation, all verified through automated audits and manual QA. We also offer ongoing accessibility monitoring and reporting to ensure long-term compliance.
