The Poudre School District serves 54 schools and over 30,000 students. Yet with a 10 year old website, confusing navigation, and pages upon pages of dated content, it was time for an update.

OBJECTIVE

Due to numerous web editors constantly adding and changing content, the 10-year old Poudre School District website was bogged down with old information. This caused an already not user friendly website navigation to be even more confusing. Top that off with a need to update their content management system from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8, and it was time for a complete redesign. The objective? A website design that would work for current and prospective students, staff, community members, and parents.
