George Westinghouse CTE High School had a wealth of information spread across an aging infrastructure. Prospective students struggled to find course descriptions, and current families found the staff directory difficult to navigate on mobile devices. The school needed a centralized, fast, and accessible hub that reflected their status as a premier CTE institution.
Our Approach
We began with a comprehensive audit of their existing content and user flows. Working closely with the school's technology coordinators, we prioritized three core pillars:
Accessibility First
Ensuring WCAG 2.1 compliance so all community members can access vital information.
LMS Integration
Consolidating entrance points for Google Classroom and other learning platforms.
SEO Optimization
Improving local search visibility for prospective NYC families.
The Results
The new platform launched in late 2024, resulting in a significantly improved user experience for both administrators and end-users.
- 95+ Lighthouse Performance & SEO Scores
- Fully searchable dynamic staff directory
- Integrated course syllabi and department resources
- 100% mobile responsiveness across all sections
