the challenge

Create an engaging and accessible website for the D&R Sobey Scholarship. The site's objective was to increase awareness of the scholarship and provide a means for past recipients to tell their story and speak to the positive impact the scholarship had on their lives.

the solution

The new website had to appeal to three main audiences - high achieving students wanting to further their education, the students' parents, and school guidance counsellors. Starting of with a hip, attractive design, we developed a logical website hierarchy that ensured ease in finding the information visitors were looking for. We developed the website using the SilverStripe CMS, allowing our client to easily manage and grow the site after it was launched.

To help increase awareness of the scholarship we made it easy for users to share the website via popular social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and StumbleUpon.
