For SA principals who want one less thing to worry about
You run a great school. Your website should show that.
Right now, a parent is Googling your school. Their first impression isn’t you. It’s not your teachers. It’s your website.
And it only takes 10 seconds for them to decide.
One call. One team. Everything in one place.

A website that doesn’t embarrass you

Photos that show what actually happens here
Your school is full of great moments. Real kids, real learning, real culture. Parents can feel that in a photo or not. We make sure they feel it.

Let families feel your school before they visit
A Principal welcome message. A facilities walkthrough. A glimpse of your culture. Families who feel connected before they visit are more likely to enrol.

Show off what you’ve built
Your oval, your facilities, your grounds — seen from above. Parents always comment on it at open day. It’s the kind of impression that stays.
You have enough to manage. Your website shouldn’t be one of them.
You’re already dealing with staff, parents, the department, and a hundred other things. You shouldn’t have to chase a web agency that doesn’t call back. Or worry that a parent is seeing a broken page right now. Or manage three separate vendors for your website, photos, and video.
That’s exactly what Arcus fixes.
You can actually call us.
Education Website Specialists
When it comes to education websites, you’re working with specialists. We’ve helped hundreds of South Australian schools and preschools create modern, compliant websites that engage families, support staff and strengthen school communities.
One team. One invoice. Everything is handled.
Website, photos, video, drone, uniforms, branding and signage all in one place. No more coordinating between multiple places. One call and it’s sorted.
No Multi-Year Contracts. No pressure.
The 30-min call is a conversation. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you honestly. Most principals are surprised how straightforward it is.

Creating a Genuine partnership
Our team brings together more than 30 years of experience working exclusively with schools across South Australia and beyond. Before founding Arcus, our team worked with hundreds of schools, supporting their websites, communications, and digital presence across metropolitan, regional, primary, secondary, and early learning settings.
Arcus was founded by Peter with a simple vision: to provide schools with a more personal, responsive, and strategic approach to digital services. That vision resonated strongly with Raul, who has personally delivered more than 400 school websites across South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, and New Zealand.
Together, they recognised that schools need more than just a website. They need a trusted partner who understands the unique challenges of education, provides ongoing support, and becomes an extension of the school’s team.
That’s why we take a client-first approach in everything we do. No faceless ticketing systems. No lengthy wait times. Just a local team that knows your school, understands your goals, and is always just a phone call away.
Because when it comes to supporting schools, relationships matter.

Schools and organisations we work with.
From regional preschools to metro high schools and the SA education organisations that know us by name.
It starts with a conversation.
You don’t need a detailed brief or a list of requirements. Simply tell us about your school, your challenges, and what you’d like to achieve.
We’ll listen, ask the right questions, and guide you through the rest. From planning and design to launch and ongoing support, we’re here to make the process simple, collaborative, and stress-free.
One conversation is all it takes to get started.
Things principals ask us.
Is this going to be a sales call?
Our website is embarrassing. Can you fix it fast?
That’s exactly why we’re here. A broken or outdated website is the most common thing we fix. Tell us what’s wrong in the call and we’ll tell you what’s most urgent and how quickly we can sort it.
Switching websites and updating media sounds like a headache
We handle the whole migration with the Department. You don’t lose your content, your URLs, or anything. There’s no gap in your site. Most principals are surprised how smooth it is.
We're a small school. Is ARCUS right for us?
Yes. We work with schools of all sizes — small preschools, regional primary schools, metro high schools. Small schools often need the most support, and that’s exactly the kind of work we care most about.
Do we have to organise photos and videos seperately?
Not with us. That’s the whole point. Website, photography, videography, and drone are all handled by one team. One conversation, one quote, one less thing to manage.
