Rookwood School

Project Summary:

Rookwood School required an effective, clean and self-managed new web presence.  The primary focus of the project was to ensure a very user friendly layout with clear information, strong use of images and logically placed navigation.  The design was kept clean and professional to ensure it did not over power the content and school images.  

The feature rich and dynamic home page highlights 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 Rookwood School.  The website is fully managed through our GRID CMS and even allows Rookwood School control to modify the template layout for any page through a simple drag and drop solution.

Customer Testimonial:

Working with Grid Design was a very exciting experience indeed. They took our brief and turned it into something that far exceeded our expectations but without compromising either of our key requirements (user-simplicity and on-brand impact). Their professionalism, their eye for detail and their innovation brought Rookwood to life on-line and their support and assistance after the web site was constructed was superb. We are absolutely delighted with our web-site and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grid going forward.
