How We Built 20+ School Websites on a Single Platform for Deccan Education Society
Managing 20+ school websites used to mean 20+ separate systems. We built a unified CMS that lets DES manage all their schools from one place, while each school keeps its own identity and content.
Deccan Education Society is one of Maharashtra's premier education institutions, running over 20 schools across the state. Each school needed its own website — with its own branding, events, announcements, and management tools. But maintaining 20+ separate systems was becoming a administrative nightmare.
The Challenge
DES needed a solution that was centrally managed but locally customizable. School principals needed to update their own sites without IT intervention. The central admin team needed oversight across all schools. And the whole system needed to be fast, secure, and easy to maintain.
Our Approach: A Multi-Tenant CMS
We designed a multi-tenant content management system where each school gets its own subdomain, branding configuration, and content management panel — but all schools share a single, maintained codebase.
Key features we built:
- Per-school admin panels with role-based access
- Centralized content approval workflow
- Shared media library with school-level organization
- Dynamic event and announcement modules
- Admission enquiry management integrated per school
- SEO tools for each school's individual site
The Result
DES now manages all 20+ school websites from a single platform. New school sites can be onboarded in hours, not weeks. School administrators update their own content daily without needing developer help. And the central team has complete visibility across every site.
This project is one of our proudest achievements — it shows what's possible when software is designed around a real organizational challenge rather than a generic template.
