The verdict in three sentences
For a school or training center in Kampala, the site stops being a brochure once it enables online enrollment. In 2026, expect 300,000 FCFA for a showcase, 600,000 FCFA with enrollment and tuition payment, and 1,200,000 FCFA with a parent portal. Online enrollment can generate up to 30% more requests by capturing families outside opening hours.
The price grid by tier
A school needs to convert visits into enrollment files. Here is the 2026 grid (order of magnitude).
| Tier | Price FCFA | Content | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 300,000 | Showcase, programs, staff, contact | 10 days |
| Growth | 600,000 | + online enrollment + tuition payment | 12 days |
| Premium | 1,200,000 | + parent portal + tracking + grades | 15 days |
| Custom | 1,600,000+ | + e-learning platform + multi-campus | 20 days+ |
The Growth tier at 600,000 FCFA is the pivot: online enrollment paired with tuition payment via mobile money fills classes faster.
The impact of online enrollment
An unhandled enrollment request is a lost family. Here is the estimated effect of online enrollment in 2026.
| Metric | Showcase only | With online enrollment |
|---|---|---|
| Requests / month | 40 | 52 |
| Request gain | — | +30% |
| Conversion rate | 45% | 50% |
| Enrollments / month | 18 | 26 |
| Average fees / student | 180,000 FCFA | 180,000 FCFA |
| Additional revenue / month | — | ~1,440,000 FCFA |
With +8 enrollments per month at 180,000 FCFA in fees, the Growth site at 600,000 FCFA is paid back in the first month of the school year.
Tuition payment via mobile money
