Archa Solutions - Web Design Huddersfield

The Advanced Level Performance System (Alps) is a nationally used A level and AS level analysis and training package for delivering quality improvement in schools and colleges.

The brief

To design and develop the Alps web site to position them as one of the leading full-service educational consultancies, specialising in post-16 education.

The web site needed to promote Alps’ pioneering value-added system, analysis of post-16 A/AVCE Level results, and training that Alps offers.

The key aims of the web site was to provide clear and detailed information to the user about Alps analysis and training services and to make software easily accessible for download and also to make the site accessible, easy to use and informative, whilst being clearly visually identifiable with education.

The process

As with all the web sites we design and develop, Archa carefully studied Alps as a company and had many meetings with the team to discuss the key purposes of their organisation, and what function they wanted the web site to serve.

Through these meeting we were able to deduce that Alps wanted a creative marketing web site with download functionality. Alps also wanted to be able to update the web site at their convenience whilst making sure the system was easy to use and accessible to all.
