The Brief

Higham Hall is a much-loved independent college in the Lake District, offering residential short courses for adults. Their old website had become dated and no longer reflected the warm, professional image seen in their brochures. Course details were hard to navigate, and prospective students struggled to find tutors or see which classes still had space.

The Old Site

The New Site

Our Solution

We rebuilt the website from the ground up with a focus on clarity, usability, and brand consistency:

Brand-led design: Colours, typography, and layouts now mirror the printed brochure, giving Higham a unified look across all channels.
Custom search tools: Visitors can quickly find courses and tutors through an intuitive search and filter system.
Late Availability section: A dedicated area highlights last-minute spaces, helping fill courses and boost enrolments.
Mobile-first build: Optimised for speed, accessibility, and ease of use on any device.

The Result

The new website feels unmistakably “Higham” — elegant, easy to use, and built to support their mission of lifelong learning.

Seamless course and tutor search experience.
Stronger alignment between digital and print branding.
Reduced admin time thanks to clearer navigation and availability updates.
Early feedback from staff and students has been overwhelmingly positive.
