Concept identity

Soft geometric play forms and a gentle palette make the opening welcoming. A structured card system separates everyday-life stories from the practical information parents need to assess suitability.

01 / The starting point

A website with
a clear job to do.

The imagined brief

imagines an early-years setting whose website needs to help parents understand its character and daily life. The brief prioritises the questions that shape a first visit: the spaces, the approach to learning, practical arrangements and how to speak with the setting about a child’s needs.

The customer challenge

Playful graphics can overwhelm important information. The concept uses warmth in the visual language while giving parents clear, adult-readable content and predictable navigation.

02 / The design direction

Character in
the details.

The grid composition, colour palette and type direction give its visual identity. These choices support the way a customer explores the business.

DECISION 01

Show the shape of a day

A daily-life page explains the rhythm of activities through short sections. It gives parents context for a visit without suggesting that every child’s experience follows an identical timetable.

DECISION 02

Put practical information together

Age groups, session arrangements and the enquiry process have clear homes. Actual availability and operating details would be maintained by the setting rather than inferred from the design.

DECISION 03

Make a visit the meaningful next step

The primary journey introduces the setting and invites a conversation. It does not treat a website form as confirmation of a place or a substitute for discussing individual needs.

03 / In your hand

Considered for
a smaller screen.

Parent information uses short labelled sections. The visit enquiry remains easy to reach, and playful graphics never sit behind important body text or form controls.

Sample website copy

Get a feel for the everyday

The spaces, the routines and the small moments all help you picture life in a setting. Explore the information here, then bring your questions to a conversation about what matters to your family.

04 / The page plan

A place for every
useful detail.

This proposed five-page structure follows the customer’s questions. Each page has a distinct purpose, with clear routes between discovering the business, understanding the offer and making contact.

01

Home

Introduce the setting and the route for parents.

02

Life here

Describe the everyday learning environment.

03

Our approach

Explain the setting’s educational priorities.

04

Parent information

Bring practical arrangements together.

05

Arrange a visit

Invite a conversation and a suitable next step.

05 / Content & discovery

Useful to people.
Clear to search.

Parent questions shape the page topics. Local and operational information would describe the real setting; inspection, staffing and qualification claims require actual supporting material before publication.

Proposed content topics for this imagined business, rather than measured search volumes or ranking claims.

01

What should a nursery website help parents understand?

The character of the setting, its everyday routines and practical arrangements. Clear information should support a visit and a conversation, without replacing them.

02

Should nursery imagery show identifiable children?

Only with the appropriate permissions and a considered publishing approach. This concept uses original illustrations so its visual direction does not imply a real setting or enrolled children.
