Karachi Grammar School website design
- Client: Karachi Grammar School (KGS), Karachi
- Location: Karachi, Pakistan
- What OXEDGE did: page structure and visual design for the home, School Sections and Alumni pages, on desktop, tablet and phone
- Designed: 2024
- Designed for: parents comparing schools, current KGS families and alumni
The challenge
A school with a long record has to show two things at once: the weight of its history and the energy of school life today. Parents want to understand how the school is organised, from the youngest children to college. Alumni and the wider community want to see what KGS graduates go on to do.
So the design had to carry the school’s heritage, explain its four sections clearly, and make the alumni story easy to browse.
The approach
We let the design change pace from page to page: formal where the school speaks about itself, bold where it introduces school life.
- Heritage up front: the crest, a serif wordmark and a 175th anniversary mark on the mobile home page.
- One big, human headline: “Empowering and inspiring all students to excel as life long learners”, set over full-width photos of students.
- Colour-coded sections: Kindergarten in purple, Junior in yellow, Middle in blue and College in orange, with pill buttons to jump between them.
- Texture: black-and-white photos, halftone dot patterns and circular crops give the section pages a printed, poster-like feel.
The solution
Each page has one clear job, and the visual language ties them together.
What the design includes:
- Home page: a full-screen photo hero, a menu for Academics, Admissions & Aid, Sections, Life at KGS, About, Alumni, Contact and News, and a “Welcome to Karachi Grammar School” introduction.
- Mobile home page: the crest, a red menu button and the 175th anniversary mark over a photo of a school assembly.
- School Sections: “Working collaboratively to ensure every student achieves academically, socially, and emotionally”, with a band for each stage, such as Nursery – Year 02 (“Nurturing creativity from the earliest years”) and Year 03 – Year 06 (“Promoting self-confidence”).
- Alumni page: a photo hero, a short introduction to the fields KGS alumni work in, and a strip of notable alumni portraits.
- Alumni profiles: longer stories, such as those of actor Kumail Nanjiani and novelist Kamila Shamsie, set in a clean, readable column.
