Caterham School

Project Summary:

Caterham School and GRID worked together to produce a high impact new design for the Caterham School website. The original brand and school image had to be retained and the focus of large scale images was defined as an essential part of the project.

The new look enabled the Caterham School to provide more dynamic content to their home page with large full screen images and call to action overlaying buttons. School news was enhanced and allows for dynamic content to pull directly from their school news module. Strong use of school images throughout the site provides a clean visual theme consistent throughout without over powering the actual content. New drop down mega menus have been introduced providing well organised site navigation.

Customer Testimonial:

Caterham School is one of the leading co-educational independent schools in the country and, as such, we operate in a very competitive environment. We believe that our web site is a very important element in our marketing mix and therefore we want it to be accessible, relevant and, as much as possible, the personality of the school. I am pleased to say that Grid Design has enabled us to achieve our objectives by providing very sound advice and an excellent, efficient service.
