The Walker School

An award winning site several times over, The Walker School has literally become the gold standard for independent school websites.

  • Raisers Edge Integration
  • School Portal
  • SmugMug and FirstClass skinning
  • @ccelerated Process

Silverpoint's designers had a lot to work with in terms of strong style guides, great media assets and a committed staff who wanted to put Walker on the map with its site. The simplicity of the navigation and overall aesthetic make the video montage and the WOW treatments throughout stand out, and clean, succinct content within strong layouts make every page accessible.

The Constituent navigation leads users to their respective portals to find public and private information. With one click, Walker can refresh all data for all constituents from Raisers Edge, keeping the SchoolSuite database as current as possible. Profile changes flow easily back to RE as well.

As heavy users of FirstClass for teacher pages and SmugMug for bulk photo handling, the school wanted to continue with these tools but try to keep the overall user experience the same; Silverpoint's talented team were able to skin both to do just that.

Best of all, because of Silverpoint's process, the school was able to go from planning to launch in just over three months, maximizing their investment as early as possible.

My daughter, a student, also commented that the kids think the site is "cool". So we are even getting the approval of the youngest audience. I am very proud of the site and impressed that we are still receiving so much dedicated attention as we get some of the last few details in place.

I know that we made the right choice in selecting Silverpoint as our website partner. Silverpoint has provided us with a custom site that truly communicates our mission and brand.
