Where you install your fee calculator on your website is important and will have a big impact on how effective the fee calculator is for your school. Here are a few suggestions.

Create a dedicated school fees page

Depending how your fee information is currently displayed, you may need to make some changes to your website architecture. If you don’t already have one, we recommend setting up a dedicated ‘School Fees’ page on your website such as www.yourschool.edu.au/fees or www.yourschool.edu.au/enrolment/fees.

This will make it very easy for parents to find the fee information, and allow you to link to this page from other places. From our experience, you will find that this fees page becomes one of the most visited pages on the website, and also ranks very well in Google search listings, which indicates how much people search for fees.

Multiple installations

You can install the Fee Calculator in multiple locations at once, which can be useful to make sure that parents can find it easily. Some schools install on the dedicated fees page, plus also add it to another key enrolment page, or even campaign landing pages.

Another tip is to install your fee calculator inside your secure Parent Portal to allow the current community to use it as a tool for budgeting – in this example you would create a streamlined version of the calculator with no contact form so parents can bypass the form and quickly view fee estimates – get in touch with us to discuss how to set this up.

Installation Method

The fee calculator can be installed on your website in a few different ways – simple script embed, iframe and via a WordPress plugin. We recommend using the default script embed as that will deliver the best experience for users, but make sure you check with your web team to work out the best option for your school.
