Case Study: Saint Ignatius High School achieves a 7% reduction in bounce rate and a modernized digital experience with Kentico

Saint Ignatius - Customer Case Study

Saint Ignatius High School, an all-boys Catholic school in Cleveland with a 130-year history, worked with agency thunder::tech to re-evaluate its marketing and redesign its website. The school faced shrinking feeder-school pipelines, a need to engage parents, alumni, faculty and prospective students more directly online, and a goal to position Saint Ignatius as an innovative, inclusive option that would attract a broader, more diverse applicant pool.

thunder::tech implemented a responsive redesign on the Kentico CMS with custom templates, streamlined navigation, Blackbaud and native form integrations, and cinematic photography that leverages the school’s blue-and-gold identity. The new site launched in July, reduced bounce rate by 7%, drew “tremendous” positive feedback, and gave the Communications team secure, user-friendly tools to manage content, campaigns and audience engagement.
