Project Overview:

Colegio Baja California, a respected private school in Tijuana, approached us with a website that was functional yet outdated. While it provided basic information, it no longer reflected the institution’s energy, values, or modern educational environment. Parents and students struggled to navigate the site, and the school’s online presence was invisible in search engines.

Objectives:

• Redesign the website to better showcase the school’s identity and academic excellence.
• Elevate the school's digital presence.
• Implement SEO strategies to secure top rankings on Google.
• Create a platform that better connects with current and prospective families.

‍

The Challenge:

Despite having a functional layout, the school’s website lacked the visual appeal, mobile optimization, and messaging needed to inspire trust and engagement from parents and students alike.

Key issues identified:

• Outdated design and low-quality imagery
• Disorganized content and navigation
• Poor mobile responsiveness
• Slow loading times and low SEO performance
• Weak SEO visibility, the school was not appearing on the first pages of Google for relevant search terms

‍

Our UX Approach:

1. First Impression & Visual Design

• Before: A functional but uninspired layout with outdated visuals.
• After: A fresh, modern interface aligned with the school’s academic excellence and vibrant community.
• Visual Update: High-resolution photography, consistent brand colors, and refined graphic elements to reflect real school life and values.

2. Usability & User Experience

• Improved Navigation: Reorganized menu and intuitive content structure to help parents and visitors find key information faster.
• Mobile Optimization: Fully responsive design ensures a seamless experience across all devices.

3. Content & Communication

• Strategic Messaging: Rewritten copy to emphasize school achievements, mission, and benefits.
• Clarity & Focus: Hierarchical content layout with clear call-to-actions, making the site easy to explore.

4. Technical Enhancements

• Performance: Image compression, code cleanup, and development best practices to boost speed.
• SEO Optimization: Implemented basic on-page SEO (titles, meta descriptions, alt tags) to improve visibility on search engines

‍

SEO Optimization & Strategy

Alongside the redesign, we implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy to ensure long-term visibility and ranking:

• Keyword Research: Focused on high-intent terms such as “colegio privado en Tijuana”, “escuela privada Tijuana”, and “Colegio Baja California inscripciones”.
• On-Page SEO: Optimized titles, meta descriptions, headers, and internal links for maximum visibility.
• Content Optimization: Enriched academic pages and admissions sections with keyword-rich copy tailored to parents’ search intent.
• Technical SEO: Enhanced site speed and responsiveness or search engines.

‍

The Result:

The redesigned Colegio Baja California website is now a modern, user-centered platform that reflects the institution’s identity and values. With faster load times, cleaner structure, and engaging content, the site provides an elevated experience for both prospective and current families, while our SEO strategy positioned the school at the top of Google, boosting both credibility and digital reach.

Project Highlights:

• Fully responsive design
• Improved navigation and structure
• Strategic content rewrites
• SEO and performance optimization
• Brand-aligned visual refresh
