Erskine Stewart Melville is an award-winning co-educational school for 3-18 year olds, in the heart of Edinburgh.
We worked with ESM during a period of significant change for the school, as they not only shifted from a diamond structure to be fully co-educational, but also renamed the school and introduced a vibrant new brand and identity.
We designed the Erskine Stewart Melville website to be a dynamic and engaging reflection of their transformative journey. Facing a name change, a shift to fully co-educational, and a new brand launch, ESM needed a digital presence as bold as their vision.
While the main school website was being designed, we first built a microsite for ESM that both introduced their new brand and visual identity and explained the upcoming transition to co-education.
This microsite was designed specifically with current parents and families in mind with the aim of explaining the rationale for the upcoming changes and to excite parents about the future of the school. This proved to be hugely successful in improving communications with current and prospective families – informing them and involving them in the school’s journey.
We then launched the main ESM website – a bold, vibrant and dynamic manifestation of their forward thinking ethos. The site’s intuitive navigation and immersive homepage scrolling experience showcase the vibrant school community, while stunning photography and video immerse prospective families in the ESM experience.
It’s been a fantastic project, and I’ve really enjoyed working with The Web Kitchen. Jonny has been brilliant to work with, and his expertise has made the whole process feel seamless despite the scale of the project. We are delighted with the new site, so a massive thanks to the entire TWK team for their hard work, creativity, and support throughout the project.
