I recently developed a school website platform so I could provide websites to multiple schools from a single platform. However, I’m not satisfied with the developer. I wanted a platform that was exactly what I wanted that didn’t happen. Can any of you suggest if Shopify provides a good platform in this field? My current platform - https://www.schooldise.com/ and school Website - GSS School Hamusar - Home
Topic summary
A platform owner seeks guidance on whether Shopify is a good fit to power a multi-school website system after being dissatisfied with their current developer’s implementation. They shared links to their main platform and an example school site.
Key need: a multi-tenant setup where multiple schools can have their own sites from one platform.
Expert response: Shopify can manage multiple sites and handles ecommerce and structured content well, but school-specific needs (e.g., granular user roles, student portals, events, secure logins, payments) would likely require custom apps or a headless approach (using Shopify/content tools as the backend with a custom front end).
Next steps requested: The responder asks the OP to list the top 3 missing features to better evaluate fit and recommend an approach.
Status: No decision yet; discussion remains open pending clarification of requirements. No code or media is essential to understanding beyond the provided site links.
Which topic I missing
Can you share me your plan and price
Do you have any example or reference sites that handle this school management system just to get a clear idea of the look and feel and most importantly the features and functionalities.
Best
A school website needs to be easy for admins to update, mobile-friendly for parents and students, and secure. Shopify can work for this if you mainly need simple pages and events, but many schools prefer platforms with built-in education features or CMS flexibility. It might help to list the specific functions you want (like calendars, student portals, or forms) so you can compare options more clearly.
No, don’t use shopify for this.
Use wordpress or something like a Learning Management System(LMS)
