Engaging Video with Gold Overlay

The soft golden overlay for the video, which is also contained in a narrow white border, brings out the deeper yellow lion in the logo and gives a cohesive feel to the homepage, solidifying Legacy's school brand. The text overlay addresses the website's three main audiences, prospective students, prospective faculty and potential donors with calls-to-action that do not distract from the video but are easily accessible for visitors to continue their journey.

Mobile-First Menu

The charter school's mobile-first design has drop-down navigation for easy access to all main pages and subpages, as well as the links to the most-visited pages like the Calendar, News and Portal login screen. Using Finalsite's Advanced Search, visitors can find what they are looking for within seconds. The menu drop-down design leaves room for a fitting tagline: Your Legacy Begins Here.

School Navigation

Each of the three schools has its own section of the website, where they can individually manage the navigation and content to reflect what is relevant to each school. For parents, that information is easy to navigate to: custom image buttons highlight each of the age groups to learn more.
