Marsden

Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, an institution with deep-rooted values and a commitment to excellence in education, envisioned their digital presence to match their stature and reputation.
With a legacy that spans over a century, the school wanted its website to reflect both its rich history and its commitment to contemporary education. The primary aim was to create an intuitive, engaging, and visually captivating website for students, parents, and the wider Marsden community.

Before diving into design and development, a comprehensive research phase was initiated. Feedback from parents, students, and staff was gathered to understand the pain points of the existing site.
The core insight was that users wanted swift access to information, simple navigation, and a virtual representation that resonated with the school's ethos. The strategy was two-fold: streamline content for quick access and use design elements that mirror Marsden's heritage and forward-thinking approach.
