Revolution School

Revolution School Website

Project Overview

Revolution School is an educational platform built for an innovative secondary school in Philadelphia focused on personalized, project-based learning and student agency.

The website serves as the school’s primary communication and admissions channel, balancing clear storytelling, practical functionality, and integrations used by prospective and enrolled families.

The Challenge

The main challenge was creating a front-end experience that communicates a non-traditional educational philosophy while remaining clear, approachable, and easy to navigate for very different user groups.

  • Presenting a progressive, student-centered education model in a clear way
  • Supporting admissions flows and tour scheduling without friction
  • Integrating third-party systems used by enrolled families
  • Designing content-heavy pages without overwhelming users
  • Ensuring performance and usability across all devices

My Role

I was responsible for the complete WordPress front-end implementation, including custom theme development, UI structure, content modeling, third-party integrations, and performance optimization. The focus was on clarity, usability, and long-term maintainability for non-technical editors.

Solution & Implementation

The platform was built as a fully custom WordPress theme with a strong emphasis on front-end structure and content hierarchy. Modular layouts and reusable components allow the school to communicate complex ideas while keeping the interface intuitive.

  • Custom WordPress theme aligned with the school’s visual identity
  • Structured page layouts optimized for long-form educational content
  • Admissions and inquiry flows with validated contact forms
  • Calendly integration for campus tours and consultations
  • TADS family portal integration for enrolled families
  • Events and news system for community engagement
  • Instagram feed integration to showcase student life
  • Modal-based newsletter signup with a clean UX

Technologies & Tools

  • HTML5 / CSS3 / SASS
  • JavaScript (interactive UI & integrations)
  • Responsive & accessible UI implementation
  • WordPress (Custom Theme Development)
  • Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
  • Custom Post Types for events and resources
  • Contact Form 7 with reCAPTCHA
  • Calendly API integration
  • TADS family portal integration
  • Google Tag Manager & analytics

Outcome

The final platform delivers a clear, approachable, and high-performing front-end experience that supports admissions, strengthens communication with families, and accurately reflects the school’s educational values. The site provides a scalable foundation that the school can evolve without ongoing developer involvement.
