The Full Spectrum of Learning
Lighthouse Kids Website
Lighthouse Kids is a children’s learning center that serves the Autism community at all varying stages of development.
Lighthouse Kids approached us with an idea to build a website that can grow with the organization as more locations and internal developments emerge. The website needed to be a central hub for resources and connections for the Autism community, with a focus on functionality and usability for caregivers and physicians, alike.
The website we designed and developed encourages community connection by inviting caregivers, family members, and career applicants, to engage with Lighthouse Kids events and discourse. Interactive forms across the site allow caregivers to communicate how and when they want to engage with the organization, while calendars encourage and guide connections within the Lighthouse Kids community.
The Lighthouse Kids’ logo guided the direction of the design, from typography to color palette. A slab serif with playful terminals make a statement in large-scale titling, while thin sans serif Raleway body text synthesizes seamlessly with modern UI expectations.
Handing over the reins to their new website, we equipped Lighthouse Kids with the tools and knowledge they will need to continue building their website as the organization develops and expands.
