Nayland College

Nayland has been a client since 2018 and the website has gone through a few ‘iterations’.

We did a redesign of their existing website in 2018 and then redesigned the home page in 2024 to bring it more up to date both in design and in the backend.

Nayland College's website redesign objectives

• Make the website look more modern and align with the branding being developed for the prospectus

• Reorganise the structure of the site to make it easier to find information

• Significantly improve the website load to to improve the experience of visitors and college staff managing the website

• Integrate with KAMAR student management system with login links and syncing of calendar events

• Integrate with HAIL to create, publish, and share engaging content like stories, articles, newsletters, and updates with their community

• Audit and remove old content, WordPress plugins and images

Our strategy

We created a website using a modern technology stack including events management with a look and feel to reflect the brochure design by HotHouse. It was important that the website was natively mobile responsive.

Key features of the website design:

• Creating a new look, feel and colour scheme for the website matching the brochure design for this year, while thinking what the implications would be for next years design

• Incorporate various design elements from the brochure to ensure a continuity between the brochure and the website

• Set up an events management system with customised layouts

• Create banners for events based on categories, taxonomies and tags

• Create templates for internal pages

• Create global modules that can be reused within the site to maintain the consistency of design elements
