Case Study: Laguna Beach Unified School District achieves an award‑winning, modern responsive website and improved community communication with Finalsite

Laguna Beach Unified School District - Customer Case Study

Laguna Beach Unified School District, a frequently recognized and high-performing district, faced a major digital challenge: its old Schoolwires site failed to communicate the district’s story, lacked a single owner, and delivered inconsistent, non-responsive content that hampered communication with students, parents, and the community. With superintendent support for investment, the district set out to find a modern solution.

LBUSD selected Finalsite and hired Andy Crisp as dedicated website manager to implement a responsive, design-forward site with consistent UI, high-quality imagery, and district-focused features (like Athletics Manager and online registration). They paired the new platform with clear content guidelines and ongoing training; the result is an award-winning, easy-to-navigate website that improved engagement, brand consistency, and community satisfaction.
