WEBSITE DESIGN

Central Coast Grammar School Website
www.ccgs.nsw.edu.au

The Challenge
CCGS asked us to formulate a strategy that would allow them to make better use of the website to promote their school to the public and improve communications with the school community.

The Solution
We split the old website into two – a public site focused on promoting and marketing the school and a private "intranet style" site for communicating with school community members. Both sites are managed by a powerful, multi-user content management system to streamline administration. A comprehensive training program for content authors has encouraged broader involvement, adoption and ownership of the website by the school community.

Feedback to date has been positive from both the public and school communities. Visitor statistics show site usage is on the rise and CCGS are well on the path to achieving their core objectives.
