Project Description:
Holy Trinity High School, a Catholic co-educational school in Chicago, partnered with us to redesign their website with a focus on clarity, engagement, and functionality. The goal was to better serve students, parents, and alumni while capturing the school’s values of faith, academic excellence, and community. The new website was built on WordPress using the Avada theme, chosen for its flexibility, visual capabilities, and user-friendly interface.
Process:
We began with discovery sessions to understand the school’s goals, audience needs, and content priorities. From there, we moved into the following phases:
- Content Audit & Strategy – Streamlined and reorganized content for easier navigation and improved clarity for key user groups.
- Design & UX – Developed a fresh, responsive layout using Avada’s design tools, enhancing the school’s brand and emphasizing student life and academic opportunities.
- Development – Implemented custom page templates and dynamic modules within Avada’s builder, ensuring design consistency and editing ease.
- Training & Launch – Provided customized training on WordPress and Avada, empowering the internal team to manage updates confidently.
Challenges & Solutions:
Challenge: The previous site was cluttered, outdated, and hard to navigate.
Solution: We restructured the site architecture and used Avada’s flexible design elements to build intuitive, accessible pathways to key content.
Challenge: Visual identity didn’t reflect the school’s vibrant community.
Solution: Incorporated new photography and engaging homepage elements through Avada’s interactive components to better reflect the school’s energy and diversity.
Challenge: Staff needed more control over website content and updates.
Solution: Built the site with WordPress and Avada to allow drag-and-drop editing, custom modules, and simple content management for non-technical users.
The new Holy Trinity HS website successfully launched with a strong visual identity, improved user experience, and enhanced site performance. Engagement metrics have increased, with smoother navigation and higher conversions on admissions and donation pages. Most importantly, the school’s staff can now maintain and grow the site independently—with confidence.
