Drupal development for Australian higher education and school systems.
Australian universities and education bodies often operate in genuinely difficult digital environments:
We've partnered with education providers since 2009. From ambitious online-first universities to statewide school systems, we’ve built Drupal platforms that keep pace with that complexity.
From a single-faculty microsite to a statewide platform serving 260,000+ students, we've built for every scale of education organisation.
Our platforms are designed so marketing and communications teams can publish rich, on-brand content without waiting for a developer.
Our builds regularly connect to student information systems, CRM platforms, and third-party authentication tools your institution already runs.
Premium code and long-term support mean your platform keeps evolving with your institution, not against it.
Our team's experience means fewer hours to reach the same outcome, with no junior developers learning on your project.
"PreviousNext played a crucial role in helping CSNSW achieve its ambitious project goals by delivering a sustainable, scalable, and high-quality solution on time and within budget.
"Their expertise and meticulous approach were evident throughout the project. Leveraging their extensive experience with Drupal and robust development techniques, they ensured the solution was built right the first time." – Joseph Watson, Director of Public Affairs, Catholic Schools NSW
The Drupal community has independently recognised our education work:
We design for every audience, not just prospective students and families. Staff, researchers, alumni and current students all need different things from the same platform. We plan for that from discovery onward.
We build for distributed content teams. Faculties and departments need to publish independently without breaking brand consistency, so our design systems scale across dozens of contributors.
We integrate with your existing ecosystem, including student information systems, CRMs, and authentication platforms. Our builds connect Drupal to what your institution already relies on.
We stay with you long-term. Ongoing support and hosting through Skpr means the team that built your platform is the same team maintaining it.
Catholic Schools New South Wales (CSNSW) partnered with Folk and PreviousNext to create a powerful, award-winning digital platform that serves their diverse educational community through innovative design and robust technical solutions.
