St. John Vianney RC School website

A brighter, more flexible colour palette

Whilst reorganising the content and structure of the back end of the site, we felt it would also be beneficial to make amendments to the front end to further aid with useability.

We adjusted some colours from the old palette to not only give a brighter and welcoming aesthetic but also offer more flexibility when colour coding each site section terms of buttons, hover states and background banners.

Navigation Structure

The updated arrangement simplifies the organisation of information by categorising each page into one of four colour-coded sections, allowing visitors to quickly recognise where they are on the site. For example, a parent can land on the homepage and know exactly where to navigate for information relevant to them such as uniform policy.

This also helps keep the CMS (Content Management System) simple and straightforward for the school to administrate and modify pages & information where needed.

Illustrative Assets

An important feature of the redesign was for general information to be more appealing to current and future students visiting the site. Utilising the new colour palette and illustrative style we were able to transform previously unimaginative content such as learning curriculums and mission statements to be more visual and inviting for pupils to read.

Site Features

Other features available on the site include job vacancy listings, ‘what’s coming up’ dates, term timetables and dedicated areas for administrators to upload downloadable PDF documents from school behaviour policies to recent newsletter additions.

One notable feature on the site is the inclusion of a simple and easy to use multi-language plugin, providing visitors with the opportunity to quickly switch between multiple languages.
