"The Web site you developed for
Groton School is terrific. It's beautiful,
easy to navigate, and effectively
communicates what makes us distinctive."
John Niles
Director of Admission
Groton School
Web
site
Founded in 1884 by Rev. Endicott Peabody, Groton's
original aims included the intellectual, moral
and physical development of its students in grades
seven through twelve towards preparation for both
college and "the active work of life".
Now a coeducational, primarily residential school
of 181 girls and 181 boys in grades eight through
twelve, Groton sets for its students the highest
standards of academic achievement, intellectual
growth, ethical awareness and behavior, sportsmanship,
athletic endeavor and service to others.
Moving from:
A static first generation site that was cumbersome
to manage.
Moving to:
In 1999, a new
site with refined information architecure
and a new look-and-feel that communicates the
spirit and personality of the school. In 2002,
we added our MagicWand content management system
to make it easy for authorized people thoughout
the school to edit the site through browser-based
forms.
Continuing an eight-year
relationship, which began with Magic Hour producing
Groton's recruitment video [view
video] in 1995, in 2003 Magic Hour provided
Groton with a Web graphical redesign and upgrade
to MagicWand 5.0.
