We focused on a timeline that displayed both events and elements of the merger, and had downloadable one-sheets easily available for media contacts.

Mobile screens were also developed.

The Challenge

The site needed to be thought through and designed for presentation purposes

The site is customized to individual users, altering content to not only meet their needs, but the needs of theirsupport system.

There are three basic user groups:individuals, corporations, and medical professionals.

Priorities were set for each individual element and they were placed on the pages accordingly, while retaining consistency through header, footer,and colors.

We utilized images of children from existing classes as well as music from the classes on the home page. The site was divided into two clear sections: 1. Classes and 2. Music Store. The images are swapped out regularly, so that parents will identify with the pictures of their children as well as others in the class.
