Case study
How Peculiar Schools came together
The problem
The school needed an online presence that matched its standards and made it easy for parents to understand what it offers and how to enrol.
Research
I reviewed how parents evaluate schools online and identified the information they look for first, from academics to environment to admissions.
Planning
I structured the site around the parent journey, leading with identity and credibility and guiding visitors toward enquiry.
Design
The design is warm and professional, using considered typography and imagery to convey care and quality without clutter.
Development
Built with a modern React stack and deployed for speed, with attention to responsive behaviour and accessible navigation.
Challenges
Presenting a broad institution clearly without overwhelming visitors required careful information hierarchy.
Solutions
I prioritised the most decisive information and used progressive disclosure so deeper detail is available without crowding the first view.
Outcomes
The school gained a credible digital front door that supports enquiries and reflects its reputation.
What I learned
For institutions, trust is the product, and the design has to earn it on the first screen.
