 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Pixel Storm has been a godsend.  No longer do we have to stress about anything technically related whether it be anything SEO or socials that don’t work, won’t start or we don’t understand! Best of all they are an Australian based team with a REAL office, so we know that they are not going to disappear overnight, which has happened to us in the past. They just get on and do and fix ‘stuff’ without drama We had very limited understanding or knowledge of SEO when we first worked with PS .  They explain technical ‘stuff’ in lay persons terms, without jargon so we can understand what needs to be done.  Our rankings in Google have improved so much since we stated work with PS three years ago, As an SME, can’t recommend Paula and the PS team highly enough, they have made our lives so much easier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After searching worldwide for a web development company, we settled on Pixelstorm in Melbourne, Victoria. Not only did they have a great pitch, but they delivered a solution bursting with creativity and passion. And notably, on time and budget. I enjoyed working with the team; they were very responsive to feedback as we moved along through the project. Changes can be expensive and difficult to manage, though they inevitably come up in any project. The team at Pixelstorm had a very suitable approach to sorting this out along the way. We could not have been more pleased with the results of the finished project. Feedback has been fantastic, and the response to the new design has been exceptionally well received. The site was even a finalist in the Australian Web Awards in the non-profit category. We will certainly use Pixelstorm on future projects, and I look forward to working with the team again. I highly recommend them for their quality of work, dedication, and continuous engagement. To paraphrase Clementine Churchill, 'It's not just a website... it's a triumph!'

FAQ's

Education FAQS

Got Questions about our Education Website Design Services? See the most frequently asked questions and answers below.

What should an education website include?

You want an education website to have the right information, while being easy to navigate for different types of users. For example, for students alone, you may need to include:

Course and qualification listings.
Entry requirements and study pathways.
Fees, locations and delivery methods.
Course search and filtering.
Enquiry and application forms.
Student, agent or partner portals.
Accessible contact and support information.

Some organisations may also need to suit the needs of parents and carers, course providers and teaching staff, education agents, institutional partners, researchers, overseas organisations, government bodies and more.

What information does an RTO website need?

Like education websites, a registered training organisation (RTO) website should give prospective students clear, accurate and current information before they enrol or pay fees. This commonly includes the RTO registration code, official course codes and titles, delivery methods, locations, duration, entry requirements, fees and student support. The exact information and where it must appear depends on the training you offer and your obligations under the current ASQA Standards.

Can Pixelstorm build a course finder or qualification search tool?

Yes, Pixelstorm can design and develop course finders, searchable catalogues and occupation or qualification tools. We can implement filters to help users more easily narrow down their options based on their study area, location, preferred delivery method, qualification level or to meet any other RTO requirements.

Can an education website include an agent or partner portal?

Yes, we can integrate agent and partner portals into your website to give authorised users a secure way to access relevant resources, application information, documents and updates. As well as education websites with an agent or partner portal, we can also develop pathways specifically for education agents, institutional partners and other site users on the same website.

How can a website support CRICOS and ASQA requirements?

If your website needs to satisfy CRICOS and ASQA requirements, you need to be mindful of:

Having accurate course information.
Displaying legal provider codes.
Providing transparent fee information.
Offering WCAG AA and AAA online learning systems.
Linking directly to official registers.

Having an accessible website guided by user experience can help make sure you have a CRICOS-compliant website or ASQA-compliant website, depending on your needs.

Can Pixelstorm redesign an existing education website?

Absolutely. By reviewing your current website, Pixelstorm can guide you on how to optimise and simplify your current navigation, content, design, accessibility functionality. Depending on your project, this may involve more focused redesign of specific areas or pages, or a complete redevelopment.
