The Downs Prep School | Independent education
The Downs Preparatory School, an exceptional independent school in Bristol for children aged 4 to 13, was facing challenges with their existing website. It was labour-intensive, inflexible, and required monthly fees for external development. The school wanted a seamless, user-friendly site that could be easily updated internally.
The primary goal was to create a website that genuinely reflected the school’s identity and, most importantly, encouraged prospective parents to sign up for open days. The focus was on developing a visually appealing platform that truly brought the school’s essence to life.
We began by collaborating closely with the client to define a logical, userfriendly sitemap that catered to both prospective and current parents. Once the homepage design was built, we proceeded to create a series of adaptable modules that could address all content needs across the website, both in the short term and for future requirements.
These modules provided The Downs with the flexibility to create bespoke pages in minutes. Each module was designed to include options for additional design and functionality, ensuring the site could evolve as needed. Additionally, we integrated SEO and media tools to help the school generate leads, which directly support their admissions and recruitment efforts.
By streamlining content management and creating a design that truly captured the spirit of The Downs Preparatory School, we delivered a flexible and visually compelling website that supports their ongoing recruitment goals.
Evolu has been a delight to work with on this project. I’ve been consistently impressed by their ideas and creativity. The site is an absolute pleasure to use – it couldn’t be easier. Since going live, it has been very well received, with lots of positive feedback.
