Reimagining School Digital Presence: A Journey Through Educational Web Design 🎓
The Website That Started It All
Working at DiGiLABS in 2024, we found ourselves confronting a familiar frustration - school websites that felt like digital time capsules from 2008. We thought, why not include the revamped website design in the DigiSchool next-gen solutions and use it as our advantage to make the proposal impactful. The VSEC became the answer to this problem. We built our first end-to-end website template on steroids.
Mockup presentation of homepage and campus pages.
Key highlights:
Built a responsive template on Framer as a foundation for future school projects
Designed an end-to-end solution addressing modern educational web needs
Created a scalable base for DigiSchool's broader ecosystem vision
The Problems That Kept Me Up at Night 😫
Every school website told the same story of digital neglect. I remembered my own school days - finding basic information felt like solving puzzles.
Outdated designs screaming "never updated since 2008"
Missing features students/parents desperately needed
Scattered information with no logical flow
Inconsistent branding makes institutions look unprofessional
Poor mobile experiences frustrate busy parents
Design Decisions That Made the Difference 💎
Each feature carried a story of solving real frustrations. Parents shouldn't have to dig through five pages to find a school calendar.
Quick links modal - Essential links such as the student portal, admission link, booklist, etc., are quickly accessible from the quick-links modal on the homepage.
CMS-based articles & gallery - Fresh content without technical headaches
Interactive campus map - No more lost parents during first visits
Modern design consistency - Building trust through professional aesthetics
Delightful animations - Static information transformed into engaging experiences
School calendar integration - Essential scheduling at fingertips
