Greenacre School

Project Summary:

Greenacre School required a powerful and effective self-managed new web presence.  The focus of the project was to ensure a very user friendly layout with clearly structured information with a strong use of images and clearly defined navigation.  

The agreed design was clean and professional ensuring it did not over power the content and school images.

We created a dynamic and feature rich home page highlighting key sections of the school site of primary interest to existing and prospective parents.  A dynamic events calendar was introduced to the project and also several other interesting features to provide a solid platform for Greenacre School.  

The website is fully self-managed through our GRID CMS and even allows the client control to modify the template for any page through a simple drag and drop solution.

Project Specification:

• W3C XHTML and CSS standards
• Expandable text size in line with accessibility guidelines
• Search Engine Optimisation and compatible code compliance
• Secure password protected area
• Interactive flash animations

Customer Testimonial:

Grid Design were recommended to me by a former colleague, a school Marketing Manager and by an independent designer. Their recommendation was an excellent one. Simon took trouble to familiarise himself with our school and to understand my vision for future development and the brand and image we wished to project but without labouring the point in a time consuming and unnecessarily expensive way. His explanation of the technical aspects of the website format he was recommending was couched in accessible language and he has developed a structure that we are able to maintain with relative ease. He personally trained our in-house web manager and she has managed regular updates with ease. Simon suggested different design ideas and style options that correctly interpreted our requirements and gave us choice without imposing upon us. I have found him incredibly open, honest and straightforward to deal with and very patient with the layman but also creative and very up to date in his field. I would recommend him without reservation.
