Context

Whitesands is a Lagos school with twenty-five years behind it, a dated website, and an admissions process that still lived on paper. Prospective parents could not get a clear picture of the school online, and the staff could not change a word without help.

Approach

A full reset: new information architecture, a calm and credible visual identity, and an admissions flow parents can complete online. The piece that matters most is invisible: a content model and design system the school's own staff can run, so the site stays current without a developer on call.

Outcome

Everyone I've sent the link to for appraisal has rated the work you did very high. I don't even like looking at that website anymore.

The new site replaces a decade-old one and hands the school control of its own story.
