The Gleddings Preparatory School web site and blog

The Gleddings Preparatory SchoolWe were quite excited when The Gleddings Preparatory School (Halifax) approached us to design their new web site. It was a great opportunity for us to sink our teeth (or mouse) into something a little different.

The Gleddings needed a web site that would:

  • Reflect the atmosphere and teaching philosophy of the school
  • Look bright and exciting
  • Appeal to parents who are considering sending their child to the school
  • Help them communicate with existing parents
  • Display children’s work
  • Raise awareness of The Gleddings and the services it offers

They also wanted to keep the web site’s content and pictures fresh and up to date and needed to be able to update the site themselves.

School web sites are often standard templates supplied to schools with their logo and little customisation.

The Gleddings staff felt strongly that they needed a tailor-made web site that truly reflected the school’s personality and individuality. With this in mind, we worked closely with The Gleddings throughout the web site development process and built a bright and colourful web site that covers the following areas:

We also built a school blog, where teachers can display children’s work and communicate school news to the parents.
Both the main web site’s pages and the school’s blog are updatable by the school’s own staff.
