The brief

Parents choosing an English school compare a few options carefully. Before they book a trial class, they want a feel for the school, what each programme involves, and what it costs.

The work set out to help families get a feel for the school, understand its programmes and find the next step.

What we built

Search setup on the current Wix site: page titles, meta descriptions and a Japanese keyword plan, so the school shows up for searches like “English school Kobe”
A new site design with the school's own identity carried through type, colour and photography, rather than a stock template look
Programmes, fees and schedules laid out so a parent can answer their own questions before enquiring
Desktop and mobile designed together: the phone layout is its own composition, not a squeezed page
A bilingual English and Japanese website for the school's new kindergarten, Kitano International Kindergarten (ages 3–6), with tour booking and answers to parents' common questions
