SchoolWorks
Refreshing and restructuring the web presence of SchoolWorks, an education consultants for charter schools.
Project overview
In 2023, Shields Design was entrusted with the redesign of SchoolWorks' website (schoolworks.org). The existing site was outdated, visually misaligned with the brand, and in need of reorganization. Our task was to give the website a fresh look while implementing a content management system that would meet the organization's specific needs.
Solution
Collaborating closely with the SchoolWorks team, we embarked on a comprehensive redesign process. We began by analyzing the existing content and structure, identifying areas for improvement in both organization and visual presentation. Our design approach focused on aligning the site's aesthetics with SchoolWorks' brand identity, ensuring a cohesive and modern look.
We implemented a user-friendly content management system (ExpressionEngine) tailored to SchoolWorks' requirements, enabling easy updates and maintenance. The new structure improved navigation, making it simpler for visitors to find relevant information.
Results
The redesigned SchoolWorks website now features a contemporary look that accurately reflects the organization's brand and values. The improved information architecture has enhanced user engagement, making it easier for visitors to access crucial resources. And the new content management system has empowered the SchoolWorks team to keep their site current with minimal technical expertise required.
