The challenge
An old school has a different problem from a new one. Parents already know the name. What they need from the website is a reason to trust it today: how admissions work, which campus suits their child, and what the school stands for.
Alumni want to stay connected, too. And a history that goes back to 1949 only helps if visitors can actually see it. The design had three jobs: make admissions easy to find, tell the HHS story with real archive material, and give alumni a space of their own.
The approach
We treated the school’s history as proof, not decoration. A classic serif sets the headlines, clean sans-serif labels handle navigation, and calm colour blocks separate the topics: royal blue for the mission and admissions, warm taupe and brown for the history, and orange for alumni.
- Tone: steady and warm. The home page opens with “The Education Of A New Generation.” next to the school’s mission statement.
- History as proof: the About page, “Cherishable Moments”, uses black-and-white archive photos and a timeline that starts in the 1950s with founder Mrs Maryam Faruqi.
- Clear paths: a seven-item menu (Home, About, Founder, Admissions, Academic, Campus, Alumni) and a footer that lists every page by topic.
The solution
The design gives each audience its own route and keeps the HHS identity consistent from the first screen to the footer.
What the design includes:
- Home page: a split hero with the headline, the mission in a blue panel, the Director’s vision and the line “Celebrating the Past – Building the Future”.
- Announcements bar: a slim strip for school notices, such as staff training news.
- Admissions block: “We build future. Admission.” with quick links to the download form and the procedure, next to a Campus Information card.
- Founder and history: archive photos with captions that tell the school’s story from its early years.
- Alumni section: a short introduction, an Alumni Events tile and a #HHSHEROS members feature.
- Full footer: Academic, Facilities (library, labs, play area), Campus, Life @ HHS, Publications, Downloads and Admissions links, with social icons.
