Project Overview

Where the project began

01

Background

Community Kids Haven frames itself around belonging — "not only your child's home away from home but a nurturing haven" — operating multiple centres within the same education group as The Fern and The Hive.

02

Objectives

Carry that sense of warmth and community into the site itself, while giving every centre location clear, easy-to-find information and a simple path to booking a visit.

03

Audience

Parents seeking a childcare provider that feels genuinely community-oriented, not just convenient — evaluating tone and trust as much as logistics.

01The Challenge

What we were solving for

01

The brand's calmer, more grounded tone needed a visual treatment distinct from its more energetic sister brands

02

"Play. Learn. Develop." needed to read as a real philosophy throughout the site, not just a hero tagline

03

Multi-centre structure again required content architecture that scales cleanly across locations

04

Real photography of centres and children needed careful, respectful presentation true to a community-care brand

02Discovery & Strategy

Planning before a single pixel

01

Reviewed the brand's tree-ring mark and peach-and-navy palette to plan a calmer, more grounded UI direction

02

Mapped parent priorities specific to a "community haven" positioning — belonging and trust alongside logistics

03

Planned content sections that let the "Play. Learn. Develop." philosophy show up in specifics, not just taglines

04

Reused the group's proven centre-finder and booking architecture for consistency and speed to launch

03Design Process

Building the visual language

01

A grounded navy-and-peach palette, calmer than sibling brands, reflecting the "haven" positioning

02

A tree-ring logo mark echoed subtly in supporting UI details for quiet brand consistency

03

Editorial-style photography presentation of real centres and community moments

04

The same reliable page patterns as the group's other sites, restyled for this brand's tone

04Development

Engineering it properly

01

Built on the shared Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS foundation used across the education group's sites

02

Headless CMS content model configured for Community Kids Haven's specific programs and centre data

03

Tour-booking and enquiry flows wired into the group's shared lead-handling backend

04

Deployed on AWS alongside sibling-brand infrastructure for consistent performance and reliability
