The verdict in three sentences
A school or training center without a website loses families and candidates who compare programs online. In Ghana in 2026, a site with course catalog, online enrollment and mobile money fee payment costs between 5,000 and 18,000 GHS (roughly 400,000-1,200,000 FCFA), with maintenance around 350 GHS/month. A clear site lifts enrollment inquiries by 25% on average.

Mini case study
Abena, director of a training center in Accra, receives 200 enrollment inquiries per year at a 3,000 GHS average fee, of which only 120 convert (60%). She invests 10,000 GHS in the Growth package (enrollment + mobile money payment + installments). The clear form and installment payment push the conversion rate to 72%, i.e. 24 extra enrollments: 24 x 3,000 = 72,000 GHS/year in additional fees. The site is repaid from the very first intake.
