Crossley Street
Crossley Street were looking for a high impact non scroll website that would provide an instant overview of school life to potential parents alongside clear and ofsted friendly information. We worked with the school to use their drone footage and added this onto the front of the website. We then used a clear navigation system to signpost to parents how to find information within 2 clicks. The website looks great on both mobile and desktop devices.

St Josephs, Oldham
When looking for a new website St Josephs had a strong vision of what they wanted. A clear, modern, simple website. Our graphic design sat down with the Head to bring their vision to life. We also created a curriculum page for the school allowing parents to learn about the subjects taught in schools. St Josephs also have a social media wall to the left of the site meaning parents can access their social media accounts in 1 click.

Dair House Private school
Dair House Private school approached us to modernise their website to attract more parents to look around the school. After speaking with the school we established what we needed to portray on the website. We focused on a clear layout but with richness of content including key dates for the diary, a video and newsletters.
