Bodmin College Sixth Form Website
Brief
Bodmin College 6th Form had recently undergone a dramatic and forward thinking rebrand, focusing on appealing to potential applicants and demonstrating the variety of opportunities the Sixth Form offers students. In order to support this material, they wanted a separate website for the Sixth Form which reflected the new branding but also worked alongside the main site for the school. It needed to show the range of courses available, and offer sufficient clear explanation to act as a resource for potential applicants.
The Plot
Although there was a strong emphasis on textual information on the site, we also knew it was important that it had strong visual impact and appeal. To maintain brand authenticity, we followed the brand guidelines we had created to guide the site. We created an image led front page that utilised parallax scrolling and bold panels. We created different style templates for sections of the site, in order to ensure that all information was presented in the same format – this also ensured that the overall look of the site was very uniform and on brand.
What happened next?
Bodmin College now have a unique place where students can go to find 6th Form and detailed course information online. It provides them with a digital space where they could display their videos on, link to their social media platforms from, blog to, and present case studies on their talented alumni. The website continues to offer up to date information for students to plan their further education route.
