Web Design & Software for Tutoring, Schools & Education Businesses in Australia
We build fast, custom-built websites and the custom software that runs tutoring businesses, schools, training providers and education startups across Australia. No Wix, no Squarespace, no WordPress page-builders that crawl and break the moment you touch them. Just a clean site that loads quickly, ranks for the subjects and suburbs you teach, and turns a parent's late-night search into an actual enrolment. Behind the site, we build the part that takes the real load off you: bookings, payments, live lesson video, parent and student logins, and the dashboards that show who's paid and who's turned up.
What goes wrong
- 01Bookings and payments run on a tangle of apps. Calendly for scheduling, Stripe or a card machine for fees, a spreadsheet for who's paid, and a group chat to chase no-shows. None of it talks to each other and it eats hours every week.
- 02Your website looks like a hobby, not a business. Parents are handing you their child and their money. A slow, dated or template site quietly costs you trust before anyone fills in an enquiry form.
- 03You can't be found for what you actually teach. If you don't rank when a parent searches "maths tutor" in your area or "online HSC English", the enrolment goes to whoever does.
- 04Off-the-shelf platforms take a cut and lock you in. Tutoring marketplaces and course platforms charge per student or per transaction forever, own your customer relationship, and you can never leave with your data.
- 05Admin scales worse than teaching. Every new student adds invoicing, reminders, rescheduling and reporting. Without software built for it, growth just means more unpaid hours at a laptop.
- 06Term-based and recurring billing is genuinely fiddly. Pausing over holidays, sibling discounts, casual versus block bookings, paid memberships behind a paywall: generic tools handle this badly, if at all.
Education & tutoring, running on software that fits
We build the website and the software together, so the thing parents see and the system you run on are one tidy, fast, owned-by-you setup rather than six disconnected subscriptions. On the site side: a quick, credible landing page or full website with proper local SEO so you're found for the subjects, year levels and areas you teach. On the software side: online booking and scheduling, recurring and term-based payments, live video lessons, separate logins for tutors, students, parents and admins, and dashboards that show attendance, revenue and who still owes you money. We scope it tightly to how your business actually runs and quote a fixed price, so you pay for what you'll use, not an oversized platform.
This is squarely the work we've already done. lessonu is a whole tutoring platform we built start to finish: live video classrooms, payments and invoicing, scheduling, and five separate logins for the different people involved. DSE Music is a paywalled lesson membership, so locked content, member access and recurring billing are familiar ground. Whether you're a solo tutor who just needs bookings and a site that converts, a tutoring company juggling dozens of tutors and parents, or a school or training provider that needs a member portal, an enrolment system or an internal tool, we can build it, and you'll own every line of the code with no lock-in.
Press it yourself
Every row says what kind of proof it is. Demos are businesses we invented running software that is real; the rest are products at public URLs doing the job today. Where the closest match is from an adjacent field, it says so.

Questions, answered straight.
Can you build a full tutoring platform with video, payments and logins, not just a website?
Yes, and it's exactly what we've already shipped. lessonu is a complete tutoring platform we built with live video lessons, payments and invoicing, scheduling and five separate logins for tutors, students, parents and admins. We can build the same kind of thing scoped to your business, from a simple booking-and-payments setup through to a full multi-login platform. Custom software is fixed-quoted after a short call.
Can you set up a paywall or paid membership for online lessons or course content?
Yes. We built DSE Music, a paywalled lesson membership, so locked content, member logins and recurring billing are familiar territory. We can put your lessons, courses or resources behind a paywall with proper member access and payments, wired into a fast site, and you own all of it outright with no per-student fees to a platform.
How much does a website cost for a tutoring or education business?
Landing pages and full websites with a backend are fixed-price, well below typical agency rates. Custom software like a booking system, member portal or enrolment tool is fixed-quoted after a short call. Every quote is fixed and given upfront with a proper GST tax invoice, so the total you see is the total you pay.
Do you work with education businesses if you're not local to me?
Yes. We're a remote studio and work with tutors, tutoring companies, schools and training providers right across Australia and New Zealand over calls, email and screen-shares. Where you're based makes no difference to the build, the price or the support, and you deal directly with the person doing the work.
