Stamford Park Infant School get the oomagoo treatment

We like to do a good turn every now and then at oomagoo, so when I was approached by my sons schol to help them with their web presence, I was only too happy to help.
Stamford Park is one of those gems hidden in the streets of Hale, over 100 years old, and packed full of great teachers and lovely kids. What they had to represent their school could actually make your eyes bleed. It was in desperate need of some love and attention to breathe some life back into its online presence, and provide the parents with a website which was up to date, actually full of relevant information, and wouldn’t need a visit to A & E Optical department.
So with a million notes for Alex (one of the Parent Governors), we started scribbling away to try and get the structure of the site sorted, so we could make sure the userbility was spot on, before we even looked at any of the designs.
From there we looked at the actual logo being used by the school, and came up with something we feel captured the warm feeling that the school resonates, and also which would be usable as a letterhead, fax header etc. We cam up with the following:
From this as a starting point, we managed to map out the site, and get all of the inner pages designed.
We decided to build the site on WordPress, so the school would be able to manage the site themselves, and use the site as a useful communications tool. The finished site can be found at www.stamfordparkinfantschool.co.uk
The school loves it. The parents love it. And we love it.
Who says it’s hard to be nice?
