Chichester Free School

To create a user-friendly and engaging website that is easy to administer in-house. Chichester Free School is an all-through school, so the website had to give equal prominence to all phases, showcasing the vibrant life enjoyed by pupils and the school’s nurturing, inspiring ethos. As well as being secure and robust, with passworded access for different areas, the website would have the ability to pull live social media feeds such as Twitter through onto the site, with pop-up messaging to display the latest news, including results.

We designed a 9-grid tile system, with all tiles based on back-end data analytics that reflected the school’s nine most visited pages. Picture-led, with regular photoshoots and updates, each page has a function, such as news with drop down menu of weekly bulletins and school magazine, so users do not have to trawl through all the navigation. One of the most used functions is uploading school letters straight onto the calendar so that parents can easily access them for trips and other activities.

We host the website and provide an ongoing maintenance programme. We also undertake an annual review, updating content where necessary and to ensure compliance with regulations.

“We are delighted with our website – feedback from governors, staff and parents has been so positive. It reflects exactly how we want our school to be portrayed, thank you! It has been an absolute pleasure to work with your team and I would highly recommend you to other schools”
