St. Mary’s School

New website for St. Mary’s Catholic School

Objective

St. Mary’s Catholic School in Mt. Carmel, Illinois, had an outdated and confusing Wix website. They came to us to refresh the look and functionality of their website. We loved the inclusive and welcoming nature of this school community, and we were excited to help them update their online presence.

Approach

To modernize St. Mary’s Catholic School’s website, we transitioned them from an outdated Wix platform to a clean, responsive WordPress design that better reflects the school’s values and offerings. We focused on clear messaging to communicate why the school is a strong choice for families and clarified the age range served.

To support ongoing parent communication, we developed a custom feature that allows teachers to easily upload monthly classroom updates in PDF or JPG format, which automatically appear on each class’s section of the Parent Letters page. We love coming up with custom solutions like this for our school clients!

Outcome

The new website for St. Mary’s Catholic School provides a professional, welcoming, and easy-to-navigate online presence that reflects the inclusive nature of the school community. With clear messaging about the school’s mission, the site helps prospective families quickly understand the value of a St. Mary’s education. The addition of a custom tool for uploading monthly parent letters has streamlined teacher communication, strengthening connections between home and school. Overall, the refreshed website has improved both usability and engagement, empowering the staff to keep content current and supporting the school’s efforts to grow and connect with more families.
