There is something unique about the elements and building blocks of a website designed specifically for the education industry. If you run a daycare or any type of continuing education program you have to consider the design and layout of the curriculum and the online enrollment process. For these reasons, it will make your life easier if you select a template created specifically for education.
Running online courses has become the new branch of education. The online enrollment process needs conditions added; max number of people, calendar & booking tool to recognize conflicts, and a newsletter campaign once booking is complete. When everything is integrated in the template then set-up and troubleshooting are managed with ease.
