Arnold – Visit the site
Why they came to us
Together with the prospectus and open days the website is an integral tool to attract new pupils and is often the first contact prospective pupils and parents have with the school. For existing pupils, parents, staff and governors the website is the key source of information for the many goings on at the school.
Having built up a successful relationship with Arnold School over the last five years, JP74 were briefed to redesign the website to reinforce the happy, busy, disciplined and successful environment at the school together with streamline the update process for the vast amounts of content the school continually updates the website with.
Within the very competitive independent schools sector the website needed to project and reinforce Arnold’s standing as a leader.
How we went about it
The design challenge was to provide Arnold School with a visually striking website where large quantities of content could be added yet the website remain true to the design and the content remain easy to find for the web visitor.
The JP74 design team created a website that clearly lays out the sections but allows for organic growth as more content is added.
To ease the updating process and reduce the time staff needed to add new content we implemented a tag-based extension to our existing content management system, jpCMS, so content is delivered to multiple locations automatically in just a few clicks.
What we delivered
The finished website is clean, streamlined and adaptable. As more content is added, the website will retain the look and feel originally intended.
This up-to-date online presence supports Arnold in its continued drive to remain a leading independent school and reflects the ethos and the community life of the school to both prospective and existing pupils and parents.
The new, modified content management system has vastly increased the efficiency of making updates to the website and has reduced the time it takes staff to update the website by half.
How they feel
“The school website is paramount to how Arnold projects itself to a wider audience and with the new website carries the exact message we wish to convey – a happy and successful environment where students are given optimum opportunity to develop into well rounded individuals.
“The level of understanding and the industrious way the team at JP74 have applied themselves to the project is something we’ve grown to expect and value over the past five years.”
