Our Work
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School
Goals
Founded in 1958, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School is a co-educational secondary school which emphasizes a rigorous college preparatory education. Located in Poughkeepsie, NY, the school sets high standards for its students and needed those standards reflected on their website. The school wanted to better support the diverse needs of the student body, while keeping a marketing and informational focus to the main site. Additionally, they needed to make it easy for non-technical staff and teachers to update the website behind-the-scenes
Solution
eCoreXperience developed a website with two "doors" - one for parents, alumni and the general public and one specifically aimed at the students. Each door has a distinct look and feel oriented to the targeted user audience. By implementing a Content Management System (CMS), ExpressionEngine by Ellis Labs, site content could easily be represented in a visually different way based upon the "door" selected. Additionally, the CMS authoring interface was customized to suit the needs of content contributors from the school, making it easy and quick to update the website and keep the content fresh and apt to both segments of the audience.
