IES Martin Rivero

IES Martin Rivero is a public secondary school in Spain. Juan Manuel, who looks after its website, discovered that former pupil Manu ran a web design business and asked us to redesign the school's old, non-responsive site.

For Manu it meant a return to his old school.

The brief

The site needed to give parents and students clear information about classes, services, the centre and the community. The school asked for an events calendar, a dedicated area for each subject, and for the site to be built on WordPress using the Avada theme they had already bought.

What we did

• Rebuilt the site in WordPress with the Avada theme
• Added drop-down navigation that stays on every page for quick access
• Kept contact details, opening hours and key links in the header and footer
• Built an activities calendar with weekly and monthly views and a print option
• Spent a school day on site photographing buildings, classes and teachers

The result

IES Martin Rivero received a responsive, well-organised website filled with its own photography. The school now maintains the site itself with help from students, so the design may have changed since. For us, it was an enjoyable project that brought back plenty of memories.
