Grace Academy is a distinguished educational institution committed to providing a nurturing and innovative learning environment for students of all ages. With a rich history of academic excellence and a strong emphasis on traditional values, Grace Academy aims to prepare students for a bright and successful future.

The Challenge

When Grace Academy approached Rocketship for a website redesign, they were facing several critical challenges with their existing online presence. The website was outdated, difficult to manage, and did not reflect the institution’s forward-thinking approach. The key issues were:

User-Friendliness: The original website lacked an intuitive user interface, making it challenging for visitors to find essential information and navigate through the pages effectively.
Outdated Branding: The website featured outdated branding elements, including images of former students, which did not align with the academy’s vision of modernity and progress.
Platform Limitations: The existing website was built on WordPress, which posed limitations in terms of scalability and customization.
Content Disorganization: The content structure was not optimized for user experience, leading to difficulties in finding relevant information, particularly for prospective parents seeking the best education for their children.

The Solution

Rocketship approached the Grace Academy website redesign project with a comprehensive strategy to address each challenge effectively. The key solutions implemented were:

Platform Migration: To provide Grace Academy with a more robust and user-friendly website, Rocketship recommended building the new site on the HubSpot platform. HubSpot offered advanced features, seamless scalability, and ease of management, enabling Grace Academy to focus more on its core mission.
Brand Refresh: Understanding the importance of maintaining Grace Academy’s traditional values while embracing modernity, Rocketship conducted brand and design workshops. This ensured that the updated look and feel of the website not only reflected the academy’s heritage but also positioned it as a cutting-edge educational institution.
Content Optimization: Rocketship conducted in-depth content mapping exercises to reorganize the website’s copy and page structure. This optimization improved the overall user experience, making it easier for visitors to find the information they were seeking.
Engaging Design: Rocketship’s design team created a visually engaging and aesthetically pleasing website layout that captured the essence of Grace Academy’s mission and values. The new design helped establish a strong connection with visitors and encouraged them to explore the website further.
