The Problem
Why Most Schools & Education Businesses Struggle Online
These are not hypothetical risks. If you do not have a professional website, these are happening to your business right now.
Pain Point 1
👪
Parents Cannot Find Basic School Information Online
School fees, term dates, uniform requirements, contact numbers, school location — parents are forced to call the school office or send a child with a note. A school website puts all of this information online, available 24 hours a day, reducing the volume of calls to your admin staff by over 60% in most schools that make the switch.
Pain Point 2
📋
Admissions Are Still Paper-Based and Manual
In Kenya's competitive private school market, the school that offers online applications wins the parent who is comparing options. A web-based admissions form with automatic acknowledgement emails signals professionalism and organisation. It also gives you a database of applicants, not a pile of paper forms.
Pain Point 3
💻
Competing Schools Have Digital Presence. Yours Does Not.
When a parent in Nairobi searches for the best school in Westlands, Karen, or Kileleshwa, the results are schools with websites. Schools without websites do not appear. In 2025, a school without a website signals that it may not be well-organised — an unfair impression that a $65/year website completely eliminates.
All three problems have the same fix: a professional website built on the right hosting.
Tayo Host WordPress Hosting is built specifically for Schools & Education in Kenya.
The Data
Why Do Kenyan Schools Need a Website?
Kenya had 93,988 registered schools in 2023, with over 10.2 million primary and 4.1 million secondary students enrolled, according to KNBS. Yet the majority of these schools have no website — which means parents, prospective students, and education partners cannot find them online. A school website is now a baseline credibility signal. International organisations, NGOs, and donors assessing Kenyan schools for partnerships expect to find a website. Parents comparing private schools in the same neighbourhood choose the school that looks more established online. The total cost of a school website on Tayo Host — including hosting, free SSL, daily backups, and professional email — is less than KSh 8,000 per year.
