Supporting English learning in 80 languages

The British Council were looking to launch a brand new website to enhance the resources available to assist with teaching children English as an additional language within the UK. The website needed to meet the differing needs of three user groups; teachers, learners and parents.

Key Processes

Fully Responsive

A stringent mobile first approach was taken throughout the design and development stages, to provide an optimal user experience no matter where or how visitors engage with the site.

Drupal 7

The platform was developed using Drupal 7 to ensure that it’s quickly and securely able to cope with large volumes of traffic.

Connector

We developed a user friendly and accessible learning platform that brings together a wealth of resources, whilst punching well above its weight with regards to industry best practises such as usability.

Diverse range of users

As a rapidly expanding area of focus for the British Council, the site meets the needs of a diverse range of users including teachers, learners and parents, with a core goal of helping young migrants integrate into society.

Uniform branding

We effectively translated the British Council’s new branding into a functional final design, representing the beginning of the organisation’s drive to harmonise its digital offering.
