Challney High School for Boys & Community College
Objective
Challney High School for Boys is an extremely successful secondary school that is located in Luton, Bedfordshire.
The school already had a website but it provided limited information and the leadership decided that it was time for a refresh. They also wanted to be able to give the community college a more substantial web presence that differentiated the college from the main school so that the user experience was not confusing but without having two separate websites. It was also vital that they could maintain the website without great expense in the future.
Solution
We designed and produced a new website for the school that is very clean, simple and easy to navigate. Rather than using a strong design style we decided to let their words and the photography communicate the spirit and culture of the school and quality of the learning experience and therefore used the grey from their corporate identity to define page layouts so that the text and imagery was more prominent.
We then separated the community college information so that it is self contained with its own navigation yet easily accessible from the home page. We then differentiated the two halves of the site through the use of the two other colours within the schools corporate identity.
Although simple on the surface the website has an extensive content management system behind it which gives the school complete control over its future development.
