Project description:"I’m looking to partner with a talented freelance developer to support a website refresh project at St Bede’s College – one of Manchester’s leading independent schools.

What we need:

UX tweaks and better user journeys

Speed and performance improvements

Smarter call-to-actions and layout fixes

We’re looking for a talented freelance web developer to support a transformative new marketing and admissions strategy at St Bede’s College – a leading independent school in Manchester.

About the role:
You’ll work closely with our in-house Marketing, Admissions & Development Director to optimise and evolve our current website (built on [insert CMS platform if known – e.g. WordPress, Drupal, bespoke system]) to better reflect our brand, drive fee-paying admissions, and improve the overall user experience across Prep, College, and Sixth Form.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape a key digital touchpoint for a school with over 150 years of heritage and a bold vision for the future.

Key deliverables include:

Full technical audit of our current site (including speed, structure, and mobile optimisation)

Seamless UX improvements for parent journeys (enquiry, booking, prospectus, application)

Adding/adjusting call-to-action banners across the site

Refreshing menu structure and potentially creating Quick Links for key actions

Ongoing technical support and implementation of content updates

Advising on SEO best practice and reporting setup (e.g. Google Analytics, tracking pixels)

Able to provide clear recommendations and deliver efficient technical solutions

Excellent communicator, comfortable working with non-technical stakeholders

Available to begin work in August or early September
