Case Studies
Resilient Innovative Successful
Melville Senior High School, a vibrant and multicultural Perth school known for its innovative specialist programs, came to us seeking a modern, welcoming website that better reflects who they are today, makes enrolment easier, showcases their programs, and supports the families who rely on it every day.
The Challenge
- Families looking to enrol needed better pathways.
- Students and parents needed quicker access to the essentials.
- Staff needed a backend they could actually enjoy using.
The school wanted a site that felt current, confident, and aligned with their values. Most importantly, it needed to reduce admin time and make key information easy to find.
Our Approach
We started from scratch and built a custom WordPress website designed around real user behaviour.
What we focused on
- Clear, simple navigation for parents, students, and prospective families
- A fresh, modern interface that feels welcoming and easy to use
- Dedicated pages for specialist programs like Aviation, GAT, Graphic Design Media, and Netball
- Clean layouts, fast load times, and mobile-first performance
- Accessibility and SEO woven in from the very first wireframe
- A flexible backend that lets staff update content without stress
To help bring the school’s story to life, we also filmed a short campus video capturing daily activity, warm interactions, and the feel of the school community.
The Process
Discovery to map out what families look for first.
Design to create clear pathways and a more engaging visual style.
Development to build a robust, fast site on WordPress with custom templates and full accessibility checks.
Everything was shaped around the question:
How do we make this easier for families?
The Result
The new Melville SHS website is modern, fast, and built with purpose.
- Prospective families can explore programs with confidence
- Students and parents can find key information in seconds
- The school has a flexible and intuitive CMS
The overall experience feels more polished, more engaging, and more “Melville”
It also puts the school in a strong position to grow its specialist program enquiries and strengthen its digital presence for years to come.
