Website Rebuilding and SEO for
Reston Montessori School
Website Rebuilding and SEO
Here is the case study which is about a reputed school in Reston, Virginia. Reston Montessori School has 36 years of standing in the market and is considered as the top-notch private school in this Reston. Originally we were tasked for rebuilding the website from scratch and with emphasis on enabling seamless digital marketing activity.
On thorough analysis, we discovered that the previous website was built in an old-fashioned way with little to no scope for student or parent engagement. The menus were not easy to maneuver, and click to actions (CTAs) were non-existent on the site. Also, there was very little social media activity.
Online users or potential customers are visiting the website but bouncing off as soon as possible. Even existing parents found it hard to get any useful information which made the parents to call the school every time.
Kotes worked on the project and created a brand-new website meeting all the requirements of the client.

1. To create a lively website that reflets the reputation and modern teaching techniques in place at the school.
2. Parents should be able to get the information, school procedures and policies, Business forms from the website.
3. Prospective parents seeking admission for their children in school should be able to reach out the school administration with minimal needs to call.
4. Social media activity, parent and student engagement should be optimized.
5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) should reflect in improved Lead generation.
