A new responsive site for St Christopher's School
As mentioned elsewhere schools can be tricky projects; design and development phases can be extraordinarily lengthy - often exacerbated by key staff holidays and large management committees.
St Christopher’s is no exception to this despite them being a long standing and highly valued client of 3B’s of whom we are very fond. Design iterations, changes and scope creep can become a real issue in any project, and is frankly something of an inevitability when taking on school sites.
Accordingly what started out as a very simply responsive template redesign came, over time, to include an update to the Joomla CMS and content migration from K2 to Joomla core. The project spanned two years and the version of Joomla that was in place at the beginning of the project had become redundant and a security risk.
Fortunately St Christopher's senior management completely understood & accepted the need to revise the scope to accommodate this migration and core update. We have now delivered a completely secure and up to date responsive website that truly tells the story of this delightful and inclusive south coast school whilst maintaining clear paths to conversion for prospective parents, staff & pupils alike.
