New website to celebrate the Trust and the schools within it.

The Learners’ Trust

More to come… 2026
The Learners’ Trust required a newly designed and built website that celebrated the Trust and its member schools, presenting information in a more engaging, organised way for a range of target audiences. The new site needed to communicate the benefits of Trust membership through success stories and testimonials, provide services information to encourage prospective schools to make contact, and make key information easy to find within three clicks. It also required flexible, on-brand templates for member schools, a dedicated space for parents, and an improved training and development registration process with automated communications.

Workshops and wireframes

During the workshop we explored their target audience, talked about their personas then mapped out and grouped content with hands on, practical sessions. From that we generate a sitemap and worked on some wireframes focusing on user journeys through the website.

Visuals

Once we’d tweaked and improved the brand – updated logo and colour pallets, the website visuals started to come together.

Custom school websites

There were 16 schools registered when we started this project, with more to be added. The website needed to be easy enough for the client to add new schools and the schools needed to be able to customise their own sub-websites to match their branding and feel like they had a website of their own.

Event list and event details improved design.

Built with WordPress

All of this new functionality was integrated into a new WordPress website for The Learners’ Trust to create pages from any of the components we’ve designed and built, massively reducing the time it takes to add and update events, news articles and pages, and the schools of course.

“With our new website now launched, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the exceptional process that guided us to create a site tailored to the needs of our Trust, schools, and audience. The ‘Discovery Workshop’ was instrumental in gathering feedback from a diverse range of stakeholders, significantly contributing to the design. Stu’s unwavering support throughout the process was outstanding, and we are confident that we have a bespoke offering that will be well received and one that we can take pride in.”
