Overview
Founded in 1923, Westholme is a coeducational private school located in Blackburn, Lancashire, committed to providing exceptional education for students aged 3 to 18.
Project Objective
Westholme approached us to redesign their website — it didn't reflect the school’s vibrant, warm atmosphere. Looking for a design distinct from competitors’ corporate styles, they asked us for a complete redesign and rebuild of their existing platform.
Problems and Solutions
The original website suffered from clutter, poor navigation, and an inability to differentiate Westholme from competitors. To address these issues, we created a custom, responsive website with a modern interface. This involved simplifying navigation, restructuring information architecture, and implementing animation features.
Our focus was on delivering a seamless user experience while highlighting the school's essence through bold design choices. Westholme's website now greets users with a memorable hero screen scroll featuring bold typography, vivid photos, and subtle animations that culminate in the ideal ambiance.
