Whether you’re running a private school in Toronto, scaling an LMS platform from Montreal, or building an online tutoring business in Vancouver, the tech behind your educational web development either pulls students in or pushes them away. We don’t build brochures disguised as websites. We engineer digital infrastructure built for sign-ups, scheduling, course access, CRM sync, and long-term search visibility. From school boards to self-paced course creators, we work behind the scenes to help you stay ahead of your enrolment targets. Pearl Lemon Web knows the constraints in education: budget cycles, board approval, IT bottlenecks, and even provincial compliance standards. We’ve worked with learning centers across Ontario, test prep brands in Alberta, and e-learning startups from Quebec who all came in needing more than “just a nice-looking site.” What they got was a tool that solved problems.
Smart Builds for Smart Classrooms: What We Deliver
We don’t do templated themes or bloated plugins. Every build is engineered around how your educational institution actually works — from lesson planning to enrollment, from payment processing to CRM tagging.
Full-Stack Educational Web Development
We build both the front and back ends of your website using clean, modular code that allows for flexibility as you grow. Our stack choices depend on your in-house capabilities, future scalability, and your user journey.
- Front-end frameworks include React, Vue.js, Webflow, and WordPress (Gutenberg only)
- Back-end systems are built using Laravel, PHP 8, or Node.js, depending on integration needs
- We use headless CMS setups like Sanity or Strapi for custom content structures
- Every site is audited for TTFB (Time to First Byte), CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), and mobile responsiveness
Education Platform Integration and LMS Development
Whether you need to run a full LMS or add course features to an existing site, we build secure, SCORM-compatible systems that support instructors, track student progress, and enable e-commerce.
- LMS builds include LearnDash, Moodle, or custom platforms with tracking and assessment modules
- SCORM and xAPI integration ensure learning content meets industry standards
- We build modular dashboards for instructors, with quiz builders, analytics, and file repositories
- Stripe and PayPal integrations allow for per-course or bundled payment models
Canadian Compliance and Bilingual Infrastructure
We factor in regulatory requirements specific to Canadian education providers, including bilingual standards, data privacy, and localisation for French-speaking provinces.
- French/English language switching is structured through dynamic routes with SEO-ready URLs
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance is applied and tested with assistive technology tools
- Hosting and data storage solutions are based in Canada to comply with PIPEDA
All content is reviewed for readability in both languages without relying on auto-translations
Custom Admin Portals and Dashboards
We build secure portals for staff, students, and administrators with distinct permissions, activity logs, and access to real-time data that integrates with your internal systems.
- Admin panels feature user management, form builders, and real-time data analysis
- Teacher portals include student tracking, grade input, and communication tools
- Secure logins are managed via OAuth2, with optional two-factor authentication
- Dashboards are built using Vue or React with server-side rendering for performance
Lead Capture, Scheduling, and Automation Systems
Your website should not be passive. It should work as a sales assistant, intake processor, and scheduler. We automate that entire flow for you.
- Course sign-up flows with logic-based forms and CRM tagging
- Embedded scheduling via Calendly, HubSpot Meetings, or custom-built booking engines
- Payment collection using Stripe or Moneris with auto-invoicing setup
- Triggered email workflows built using SendGrid, Mailgun, or platform-native solutions
SEO Architecture and Long-Term Visibility
We don’t just hand over a “nice site.” We engineer ranking structure into every build, so Google can crawl, index, and serve your content efficiently.
- We use a silo structure with clean internal linking and canonical URLs
- Metadata is manually written and tested per page, not generated by plugins
- Structured data includes course schema, event schema, and local business schema for institutions
- Load speeds and UX are tested using Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals tools
