Communication and connection are essential for keeping this community thriving and growing
The school’s needs have outgrown a static, student-oriented website developed in 1998
The goal to design and build a more dynamic site targeted for a broader audience that communicates a growing technical savvy without losing sight of the values and traditions that define the school’s character.

The solution provides a single location where information needs of the entire GCA community can be served while fostering connectedness within and among the diverse constituents.
The website needed to be easy to navigate for the sophisticate and novice alike and have a professional and appealing look and feel.

In order to accomplish these goals, a consistent design was used throughout the site along with a pop up menu that allowed any page of the website to be reached by a single mouse click.
In order to support the dynamic content essential for a truly effective website, a user-friendly mechanism for staff and faculty to update web content was created.
