The whole school
A website for your school, written by your school
Every school on Temari gets its own address, such as yourschool.temari.et. The principal or school admin fills it in from one page, watches the real site change beside the form, and switches it on when it is ready.
Why a school needs its own website
Most Ethiopian schools are found through a Telegram channel, a Facebook page and word of mouth. A parent comparing schools before registration has no single place to read which grades the school runs, where its campuses are, what admission needs and who to call. A website answers all of that, but building one usually means hiring a designer, paying for hosting, and hunting for whoever still has the password two years later.
Temari gives every school a website that lives with the rest of its records. The principal or school admin writes it from a page inside Temari, with the same account they use for everything else. There is no hosting to buy and no second password to lose.
The site is also where the student card points. The QR on the back of every card opens the school's own site, so a parent who scans their child's card lands on the school's announcements and contacts, and a card found on the street leads back to the school.

Its own address
Each school gets a site at its own name on temari.et. Families can type it, share it on Telegram, or reach it from the QR on the back of every student card.
Written by the school
The principal and the school admin edit the site from one page. Each section says whether it is on the site, and the real page changes beside the form as they type.
Read in the visitor's language
Each line is written once for every language the site offers, and a visitor picks theirs at the top of the page.
Switched on when it is ready
One switch publishes the site. Until then, and whenever the school turns it off, visitors see a Coming soon page with the school's name, logo and colours, and none of the draft.
From an empty page to a published site

Kept current through the year
Post announcements, open or close admissions and add photos. Every change shows on the site as soon as it is saved.
An editor that shows the real page
The editor is laid out in the order a visitor scrolls the site: the cover, about the school, campuses, programs, admissions, news, the gallery and contacts. Each section says plainly whether it is on the site or still empty, so the person writing it always knows what a parent will see.
Beside the form sits the site itself, drawn from the unsaved draft. Change the headline and the page changes with it. Upload a photo for the cover and it appears where a visitor will see it, so nobody has to guess how a paragraph will wrap on a phone.
The school picks its two brand colours once. The site builds its look from them and chooses every text colour so it stays readable on the background behind it, so a school in dark blue and a school in bright red both get a site that is easy to read.
Written in the language each family reads
Ethiopian schools serve families who read different languages, often in the same class. In the editor, each line of the site has its language versions side by side, so a school writes them together and none falls behind. A visitor picks their language at the top of the page and reads the version written for them.
This matters most for the parts parents act on. Admission steps, the documents to bring and the office hours are where a misunderstanding costs a family a wasted trip, so they are exactly where a family should read their own language.
Some things stay the same in every version. The school's phone numbers, its map links and its social pages are entered once and appear on every language of the site.
Safe to switch on, safe to switch off
A school's site goes live with one switch on the editor's cover, and the switch belongs to the school. Turning it on takes effect at once. Turning it off shows visitors a Coming soon page with the school's name, logo and colours, and not one word of the unfinished draft.
The address is set up by the Temari.et team when the site is first created. A school cannot lose its address by accident, and a name that belongs to one school cannot be taken by another.
Every change is recorded with who made it and when, the same way the rest of Temari keeps its history. When a new principal takes over, the site, its history and its editor are already there.
What a school puts on its site
- Each campus with its address, map link and phone numbers
- Programs and grade levels, with the languages of instruction
- Admissions: whether they are open, the steps, and the documents to bring
- Announcements, the school calendar and the questions families ask
- A photo gallery, videos, and links to the school's Telegram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram
Common questions
Do we need to buy hosting or a domain?
No. The site lives at your school's own address on temari.et and runs on the same platform as the rest of Temari. There is nothing to host or renew, and no designer to hire.
Who can edit the website?
The principal and the school admin, from the School website page in Temari. The Temari.et team can help, and it looks after the address and the student card settings.
What do visitors see before the site is ready?
A Coming soon page with the school's name, logo and colours. None of the draft is shown until the school switches the site on.
Can a parent read the site in their own language?
Yes. Each line is written once for every language the site offers, and a visitor chooses their language at the top of the page.
What does the QR on the student card open?
The QR on the back opens the school's website. The QR on the front opens a page that shows what the card itself prints, so anyone can check that a card is real. When a card is reported lost, its QR stops working at once.
Can we show more than one campus?
Yes. A school lists each campus with its address, map link and phone numbers, which suits schools that run several branches.
Does the website show students' marks or fees?
No. The website is public and shows only what the school writes for the public. Marks, fees and attendance stay inside Temari, behind each family's own sign-in.
