Here at Chaos Created, we’re thrilled to showcase our recent project: the new website, branding, and logo we designed and developed for Little Hayes and Speedwell Nursery Schools! This project presented a unique challenge—the two nursery schools, now federated, previously maintained separate websites with their own identities. Our goal was to create a unified online presence that reflects their shared ethos and commitment to high-quality early years education.
Merging Websites, Building a Community
Our approach began with consolidating content from the two individual sites. We meticulously combed through information, ensuring a seamless transition for existing users while presenting a cohesive experience for new visitors. This involved:
- Streamlining Information: We developed a clear and user-friendly website structure, making it easy for parents to find information about both schools, curriculum details, registration processes, and contact details.
- Crafting Compelling Content: We revamped the website’s content strategy, ensuring all information is up-to-date and engaging. Highlighting the schools’ shared values and collaborative learning environment was a key focus. We are working with Little Hayes and Speedwell Nursery Schools on an ongoing basis, sharing newsletters and updates from the room and transforming the website into a destination site for parents and carers.
- Showcasing the Schools: Vibrant visuals were incorporated throughout the site, and we provided a complimentary day of photography to capture the essence of Little Hayes and Speedwell and showcase their incredible spaces.
Key Features of the New Website:
- Dynamic Homepage: This is a constantly updated feed of news, announcements, and captivating snapshots of daily life at the nursery.
- Room by Room Exploration: There are dedicated pages for each room and each school, featuring room-specific news, introductions to the dedicated early years practitioners, and vital information.
- Focus on Inclusivity: Real-time translation options and an accessibility menu ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable browsing the website.
- News and Events: A dedicated section to keep parents and carers informed about upcoming events and easily find important dates like term times.
- Mobile-Responsive Design: The website is optimized for all devices, so parents and carers can stay connected anytime, anywhere.
New Branding and Logo
As part of the process, we wanted to give Little Hayes and Speedwell Nursery Schools a strong visual identity.
We developed a vibrant new colour palette and a new logo that captures the vibrancy of the schools and references their incredible outdoor space and the naming of their classes (trees and birds).
We’re really thrilled with the finished result and how it has been integrated across the website and their social media channels.
We’re Just Getting Started!
We’re excited to see this website become a valuable resource for the community and for the website to reach new parents and carers. We’ll be supporting the Little Hayes and Speedwell team on an ongoing basis to help make the website a valuable resource for parents, carers, and the local community.
