King Edward VI College – Stourbridge

OUR

MISSION

King Edward VI College in Stourbridge is an academic college for 16-18 year olds who are studying A-Levels. The college wanted a website to advertise their courses for their online open day as COVID-19 was preventing them from hosting an in-house open day. We designed their website with a modern take on their current brand taking into consideration the UX required for their users, which will mostly be under 18’s and their parents.

SAVING
THE DAY

To help refresh the King Ed’s site our team created custom modular blocks that could be reused in multiple locations such as a “courses” post type with custom fields displaying which exam board, qualifications and entry requirements students needed to be accepted on a particular course. Designing each course with a video section, presentation and an “about this course” section with custom fields allowed the faculty to make quick edits to the site should circumstances change. This also made it easier for prospective students to see what was involved in each of the courses.

Courses were designed with the option to automatically set them as “featured” allowing specific courses to be shown on the homepage. In addition to that, we built an integrated “Request a Prospectus” form for students to browse through while visiting the site. In consideration of site admin, we added an easy-to-edit slider on their homepage which displayed reviews from former students.

Finally, to highlight “Student Voices” we integrated a post type with custom fields such as subject studies and multiple interview questions to help prospective students with their applications and career prospects.
