Project Details
BitSculptor is proud to contribute to our local community by developing sites for public and private entities which present a professional face to the web world. Therefore, when the Lakeport Unified School District (LUSD) approached us with this project, we jumped at the chance.
Key goals of the LUSD web site redevelopment included 1) redesigning the site to better represent the District's high education standards, 2) creating simple content management tools to allow LUSD staff to maintain specific content on the site, and 3) presenting extensive site content in a well-organized manner.
BitSculptor created the site's design based on a "chalkboard" theme, keeping the masthead and navigation simple. Colored boxes are used throughout the site's pages to call attention to content, and a Flash animation on the front page displays a summary of the District mission statement.
Content management tools allow LUSD staff to maintain the site's news archive, employment opportunities, bus schedules, and lunch calendar.
Since the site was designed around its content, navigation is simple and intuitive. In the event that a visitor cannot find the content they're seeking, a site search tool is included on every page, making key phrase searches a simple task.
From the Client
"We are extremely pleased with the redesign of our district website. Thank you for being so easy to work with, receptive to our ideas, and responsive to our requests in a timely manner. Your knowledge and creativity is reflected on our home page. We have received many positive comments from both staff and parents regarding the new site because it is so user-friendly. I would highly recommend Bitsculptor!"
Sincerely,
Erin Smith-Hagberg
