Residential schools · Website

Build a site where a parent can see the dormitory before booking the ticket.

A website for a residential school is the set of pages where a parent learns about the hostel, the fee, the admission steps and how to visit. GullySales works on the structure, the content and the enquiry points that turn a reader into a visitor.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What website means

A website is the page a customer lands on after searching, clicking an advert or scanning a code, and it decides whether they call or leave. GullySales builds and maintains sites that load quickly, explain the offer plainly and make the enquiry form or phone number easy to find.

For residential schools

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The home page shows the school, not the boarder”

    School sites lead with the main building and the sports ground. A boarding parent looks for the bed, the dining hall and the people who care for the child, and may never find them.

  • “The fee sheet decides trust”

    A parent who must call to learn the fee assumes there is something to hide. A plain, itemised page, with deposit and refund rules, reassures before the first conversation.

  • “A phone is the main screen”

    Parents read the site on a phone, in the evening, with a relative beside them. Pages must load quickly, text must be legible and the enquiry button must be reachable with a thumb.

  • “An outstation family needs the visit mapped out”

    A family planning a journey needs to know the day's plan, who they meet, where to stay and what to carry. A page that sets this out removes the reason to delay.

What we do

What we deliver for residential schools.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A site map built around parent questions

    Pages for the hostel, a boarder's day, houses, food, medical care, fees, admissions and visits, arranged by what parents ask.

    Result: A site structure agreed with the admissions head before design.

  2. Hostel and campus-life pages

    Photographs and written routines for the dormitory, dining hall, laundry and medical room.

    Result: Each hostel space has its own page.

  3. An itemised fee and admissions page

    Tuition, boarding, extras, deposits and refund rules, with admission steps, set out for each class.

    Result: One page per class a parent can read without calling.

  4. Enquiry and visit booking points

    A short form, click-to-chat and a visit booking on every page that matters.

    Result: Every key page has a way to ask or book.

  5. A mobile and speed check

    The site tested on ordinary phones and slow connections, with problems listed and fixed.

    Result: A tested site and a list of what was changed.

How the result is measured

  • Page load time
  • Bounce rate
  • Enquiries from the website

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the website work runs

  1. 1

    Confirm structure and content

    We agree the site's pages and content needs before design begins, drawing on website strategy where it exists.

  2. 2

    Design the site

    Every page is designed against your brand identity and checked for how it should convert a visitor.

  3. 3

    Build and test

    The site is developed and tested across devices and browsers before anything goes live.

  4. 4

    Load real content

    Actual copy, images and information about your business replace placeholder content before launch.

  5. 5

    Launch and hand over access

    The site goes live with domain, hosting and content management access clearly handed to you.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

Your brief

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we redesign or fix what we have?
Read the site first. If the pages are sound and the content is missing, add pages. If the structure hides the hostel and fees, rebuild it. We tell you which.
Can the website name our alumni?
Only with their written agreement. Advertising and claims rules differ by board and state, so have your trustees and adviser approve statements before publishing.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
