Website Design for Driving Instructors and Driving Schools

Websites for solo instructors and driving schools that show a learner, and the parent who is often paying, your lesson packages, whether you teach auto or manual, the suburbs you pick up from and how to book a first lesson.

What a driving school website needs to answer

Two people usually read a driving instructor's site. The learner wants to know how soon they can start and whether you teach in the kind of car they'll drive. A parent wants to know you're properly licensed, what a package costs and whether the lessons help with logbook hours. The site should settle both sets of questions before anyone rings.

  • Lesson packages with the full price on each

    Single lessons, five- and ten-lesson packs and a test-day package, each with its lesson length and its total price. Say what happens to lessons left over if a learner passes early or moves away, and how much notice you need to reschedule. Written on the site, the policy is there to point to when a parent asks.

  • Auto, manual, and the car you teach in

    State which you teach and name the car. In NSW, a learner who passes the driving test in an automatic or clutchless manual can drive only that type of car unsupervised on their P1 licence, so families choosing between auto and manual lessons look for this. Queensland requires dual controls in a training car and suggests learners check the car's safety rating, so mention both.

  • Pick-up suburbs and the testing centres you work around

    List the suburbs you collect learners from, whether that's home, school or work, and the testing centres you prepare people for. Learners often search for lessons near the centre where they'll sit the test. On the 8-page site, the centres you work around most can each have a page describing the roads lessons cover nearby, such as roundabouts, school zones and multi-lane merges.

  • Logbook hours, explained for your state

    In NSW, a one-hour structured lesson with a licensed instructor can be logged as three hours, for up to 10 lesson hours, which adds 20 bonus hours, though the bonus hours don't count towards night driving. In Queensland, each hour with a driver trainer counts as three, for up to 10 hours (30 logbook hours), but a night lesson counts either as triple time or as night hours, not both. We set out the rule for the state you teach in and link to the transport department's page so parents can check it.

  • Your licence, accreditation and child-safety checks

    Each state names it differently. NSW instructors hold a driving instructor licence under the Driving Instructors Act. Victorian instructors hold a Driving Instructor Authority from Safe Transport Victoria and need a Working with Children Check before teaching anyone under 18. Queensland driver trainers carry an Industry Authority card issued by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and driving schools must hold a blue card. In Western Australia, anyone paid to teach driving needs a driving instructor's licence. The about page shows yours next to each instructor's photo.

  • Answers to the questions learners are told to ask

    Transport for NSW suggests learners ask whether an instructor is fully licensed, whether they belong to an association with a Code of Practice and whether lessons are one-on-one. Answer each one on the site. If you're a member of the Australian Driver Trainers Association, which calls itself the peak industry body in NSW and Queensland and publishes a Code of Practice for members, say so.

  • Booking around school and work hours

    Learners still at school or working full time usually need after-school, evening or weekend slots. A Book button can open the diary app you already use, or we can build booking and payment into the site, quoted per job. If you'd rather confirm each lesson yourself, a request form asks for the learner's permit stage, hours logged so far, auto or manual, the pick-up suburb, preferred times and a parent's number.

The closest sites in our portfolio

We haven't built a site for a driving instructor or driving school yet. Two client sites cover the parts a driving school relies on most: packages with their prices that lead into booking, and published prices with a page for each suburb in the service area.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

Mediation and family dispute resolution in Sydney. Every package carries its price and a way to book it, and a five-step intake form collects a new client's details. Swap the packages for lesson packs and the intake questions for a learner's permit stage and hours logged, and the structure carries straight over.

Home page of the Phoenix Housekeeping website

Phoenix Housekeeping

Home & care services · Lake Macquarie, Cessnock & Central Coast

A family-run cleaning business covering Lake Macquarie, Cessnock and the Central Coast. Its prices are published on the site, suburb pages cover its service area, and the quote form offers a discreet call-back. An instructor with a set pick-up area can lay out suburbs and package prices the same way.

“He was incredibly hands-on, always available to answer questions, and made every requested change promptly and without hesitation.”

  • Payment. No deposit. We build your draft first, you ask for as many changes as you like, and you pay once you approve it. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing.
  • GST. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added.
  • Timing. Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks.
  • Hosting. After launch, hosting is $30 a month: hosting, security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. New pages or features are quoted first. No contract, cancel anytime.
  • Domain and email. We register your domain in your name (about $20 a year), connect it to your site and set up your business email.

Questions driving instructors ask us

Can learners book and pay for lessons through the website?

Yes. If you already use a booking app with a public booking page, we link to it from every page. If you don't, we can build booking and payment into the site, quoted per job, so a parent can pay for a package when they book the first lesson. Whichever way you go, the booking page should repeat your cancellation notice and what happens to unused lessons, in the same words as your terms.

Should we publish our lesson prices?

We suggest you do, because parents compare schools on price per lesson and per package. business.gov.au's guidance on displaying prices (opens in a new tab) says an advertised price must be the total, including compulsory fees, while optional extras can be listed separately. When your prices change, send us the new figures: text changes are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.

Do we need a separate page for each testing centre?

Only for the centres you regularly prepare learners for, and only if you can say something specific about each: where lessons usually start, the kinds of roads nearby and how far you'll pick up from. Near-identical pages with the centre's name swapped help nobody. On the one-page and 3-page sites, the centres go in a list with your pick-up suburbs.

Some of our instructors teach in other languages. Can the site show that?

Yes. Each instructor's profile can list the languages they teach in, and the booking or request form can ask which language the learner prefers. If you want whole pages in another language, you supply the translated words and we lay them out alongside the English pages.

Which package suits a driving school?

A solo instructor can start with the one-page site at $399. Most schools suit the 3-page site at $899: home, lessons and packages, and instructors. Schools with several instructors, test-day packages and testing-centre pages are better on the 8-page site at $1,499. A site that size takes 2–3 weeks once we have your words and photos.

Do you work with driving instructors outside Adelaide?

Yes. We're a web design team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St in Adelaide, South Australia, and we work with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email. Our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. You send your packages, suburbs, licence details and photos, and we send a link to the draft so you can check it on your phone.

Ready to start your driving school website?

Send us your lesson packages, the suburbs you pick up from and your licence or accreditation details. We'll quote it and build the full draft, and you pay only once you've approved it.

We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
