Case Study: Washington International School launches a modern, mobile-first website redesign with Finalsite

How Washington International School Launched Its Redesign in a Small Shop

Washington International School, an independent school with a small marketing and communications team, faced the challenge of redesigning an outdated website that was not mobile-optimized and offered a poor user experience, particularly for parents navigating the portal. The school partnered with vendor Finalsite, utilizing its platform to create a mobile-first design that aligned with a new brand identity and improved overall navigation.

With Finalsite's support, the school implemented a new website featuring a mobile-first design, a more logical information architecture, and tools like tabs and accordions to consolidate content. The solution made information easier to find without multiple logins and provided a more modern, vibrant feel. The results included positive initial feedback from the community, a much easier experience for both administrators and end-users, and the creation of a streamlined parent portal landing page. Finalsite's project management was credited for the seamless and collaborative redesign process.
