Cuvilly Earts & Art Center

Client

The Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and, as such, uses the Hallmarks of the Sr. of Notre Dame as a foundation for programs. Specifically Cuvilly is dedicated to modeling ecological sustainability through programs in education, agriculture and the arts. Cuvilly strives to create a space that respects all of creation in a ecological balance. All decisions are made with this guiding principle: All of life is sacred and the diversity of life is essential for the well being of the planet.

Project

Cuvilly needed a digital space where parents could easily access information about the school, various forms, get involved, as well as enroll their kids.

Challenges

No digital footprints
Inquiries about the school can only be done over the phone through emails.

Tools & Technology

Google Analytics
Adobe CC (Muse / Business Catalyst / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver)
HTML / JavaScript / CSS

Solution

I built a user-friendly interactive website with simple, yet detailed information about the school, it's barn, programs, staff & mission. The website is supported by a very active Facebook page which provides a sense of community involvement beyond the boundaries of the barn.

Process & Final Product

Wireframes & Information Architecture

For a project of this size, layout and information hierarchy was not a great challenge. I compartmentalized information by Programs, Projects & Community engagement.

S.E.O

The Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center was already an established and known brand locally. I built on top of this by driving traffic to the new website initially through word to mouth, and later leveraging effective social media campaign.

Child friendly environment!

Visual design was a big aspect of the project. I emphasized on the unique qualities of the school through the use of interactive design, organic vector images and colors.
