At K12Press, we understand the pivotal role school websites play in bridging the gap between educational institutions and their communities. Unlike typical website migrations that merely transfer outdated content to a fresh layout, we delve deeper to revitalize your school’s digital presence fundamentally. Here’s our streamlined approach to creating effective and engaging school websites:
The Pitfalls of Simple Migration
Migrating old content to a new platform without a thorough review and update can lead to several issues:
- Outdated Information: It damages the credibility of your school and shows a lack of attention to detail.
- Navigation Nightmares: A cluttered website makes it hard for users to find what they need, leading to frustration and disengagement.
- Missed Opportunities for Improvement: Simply transferring content misses the chance to reassess and align the website’s strategy with current goals and community needs.
K12Press’s Strategy for Website Revitalization
Clean Up and Streamline
We begin with a thorough audit of your existing content, identifying what’s essential and what can be retired. This process involves:
- Engaging department heads and content creators to pinpoint necessary updates.
- Simplifying navigation by removing outdated or irrelevant content.
- Ensuring all content serves a clear purpose and meets the community’s needs.
Incorporate Best Design Practices
Our redesigns aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re about enhancing user experience (UX) and functionality:
- Effective Use of White Space: To create a more readable, visually appealing site.
- Consistent Layouts: For ease of navigation and brand consistency.
- Optimized Photos: High-quality, relevant images that tell your school’s story.
Focus on Accessibility and Mobile Responsiveness
Accessibility is non-negotiable. We design with all users in mind, ensuring compliance with legal standards and creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Additionally, our designs are mobile-responsive, catering to the increasing number of users accessing the web on various devices.
Strategic Content Placement
- Streamlined Homepage: Avoid clutter by carefully selecting what makes it to the front page.
- Clear Navigation: We limit top-level navigation links for intuitive exploration and categorize sub-pages logically.
Brand Consistency
Your website is a reflection of your school’s identity. We help maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity across all platforms, reinforcing trust and recognition within your community.
