UX & UI
Castlewood School in Southwater, Horsham approached Iris Digital Marketing to discuss a Website solution that would showcase the school's values, ethos and learning provision. The current site had been in place for a number of years and had just been added to whenever updates were required, but lacked any structure and was starting to get difficult to navigate. Castlewood wanted something that every member of the school community would feel proud of and that parents and prospective parents could find all the information they needed without having to troll through hundreds of pages.
WIX STUDIO

The Platform
After extensive discussions and planning, we selected Wix Studio as the platform to build and host the new school website.
​
Wix Studio provided the most comprehensive features to centralise all the school’s needs in one place including:
-
A new Parent Hub platform
-
Weekly Newsletters
-
Policy Documents
-
School Prospectus
-
Classroom Activities
-
Term Topic Information
​
The websites user-friendly dashboard, now allows the school staff to easily manage and update content whenever they need to and the weekly newsletters are now easily accessible through the website. The website needed to be constructed inline with the Dept of Educations strict guidelines, so all governance and reporting needed to be in an easily accessible place so parents could find information at the touch of a button.
As much as functionality was key to the brief, Castlewood wanted to highlight the vibrant and inclusive nature of the school, so a big part of the design brief was to create something bold and fun. We would like to mention a special thank you to High Performance Media who also worked on this project and produced stunning drone footage to be used on the website.

What the Customer thinks...

Rob at Iris Digital Marketing has worked what can only be described as actual magic on our primary school website.
He has completely transformed our webpages and created something far beyond our expectations. Rob has designed a fresh, accessible, informative and user-friendly platform which we know will be a valuable resource for our school community. Despite having only a little experience of the education world, Rob has worked closely with us to ensure that the website is DfE/Ofsted compliant.
Rob has been incredibly flexible and responded swiftly to our very many tweaks/suggestions and feedback from staff and governors. The website has now been handed over to us and we are able to make our own updates after expert tuition from a very patient Rob!
The feedback has been fantastic from our stakeholders. We cannot thank you enough, Iris Digital Marketing! Thoroughly recommend.
