Background

As a public charter school, A+UP required a website that could:

  • Clearly communicate its mission and educational model

  • Support enrollment and application pathways

  • Provide COVID-19 updates and operational notices

  • Publish required TEA postings and board information

  • Present faculty and leadership transparently

Unlike private institutions, charter schools must balance marketing, community communication, and regulatory compliance.

Structure and clarity were critical.

The Solution

The build focused on organized information architecture and compliance-ready structuring, supported by a custom WordPress development approach.

  • Mission and Vision–forward homepage hierarchy

  • Prominent application and school year planning CTAs

  • Structured announcement and update modules

  • Accordion-style team and leadership presentation

  • TEA required postings organized by category

  • Board of Directors and meeting documentation section

  • Integrated video and testimonial content

The visual system remained clean, academic, and institutional — avoiding unnecessary complexity while supporting usability.

Key Outcomes

Enrollment-Focused Architecture

Clear application calls-to-action and school year planning information supported prospective family engagement through structured search and content pathways.

Regulatory Compliance Structuring

Required TEA postings, board meeting notices, and documentation were organized for easy public access.

Transparent Leadership Presentation

Administrative team, coaches, and board members were structured in an expandable format to support clarity without overwhelming layout.

Update & Announcement System

Dedicated sections for COVID-19 updates and important announcements improved communication during operational changes.

Academic Model Clarity

Mission, vision, and the A+UP model were presented in digestible content blocks to reinforce institutional values.

Scalable Public School Framework

The WordPress foundation supported ongoing announcements, documentation updates, and academic year transitions, backed by a scalable performance framework.

Client Feedback

“Kristy has been tireless in guiding us through a complete redesign of our school’s website. She is a thoughtful partner who listens and guided us through the work. She took our ideas, showed us examples that were similar to what we described, and then created a new digital home for us. Thanks to her, we have a clean website that is easy to navigate and visually engaging. Her ability to make our online presence align with our school’s in-person feel has been critical during Covid. She is responsive and professional and so easy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
