Preschool Website Design
A Bellevue preschool upgrades from WordPress.com to a self-hosted custom theme design
Introducing My Client:
Stellar Montessori Academy is a STEAM-focused Montessori school located in Bellevue, Washington. Director Deepika Othuluru contacted WebCami LLC to refresh the school’s online presence with a theme update that better reflected its vibrant learning environment and educational goals.
The Task at Hand:
Stellar’s existing website was built on WordPress.com, but the platform’s functional limitations made it difficult to implement the features and design elements the preschool needed to grow its online presence. The goal was to move to a more flexible and scalable platform without losing the ability to easily update content.
A Team Approach:
We transitioned Stellar Montessori Academy’s website to self-hosted WordPress, using Beaver Builder to create a colorful, engaging design that appeals to families and reflects the school’s values. The new site was built with user-friendliness in mind, ensuring staff could update content confidently without technical hurdles.
Tangible Outcomes:
With its new hosting setup and drag-and-drop interface, Stellar’s website now performs better and is far easier to update than it was on WordPress.com. The site’s fresh design highlights the school’s programs and provides an inviting experience for prospective families.
A Tip to Consider:
WordPress.com can be a great starting point for small websites, but its limitations often make it challenging to scale as your needs grow. For greater flexibility, professional features, and better performance, self-hosted WordPress is the way to go.
