Initial Goal

The client envisioned a visually stunning and highly interactive website for their international school, incorporating dynamic animations to enhance user engagement. They sought a fully animated experience driven by high-quality animations to captivate visitors and elevate the brand’s appeal.

Pain Area

Complex Animation Requirements: The reference animations provided by the client were intricate and technically demanding to replicate.
Dynamic Interactivity: They needed animations that were not only visually appealing but also interactive and seamlessly integrated into the website’s user experience.
High Expectations: The client wanted a polished, professional look that maintained high performance across all devices.

Development Approach

Collaborative Ideation:

Worked closely with the client to analyze reference animations and understand their vision.
Mapped out key animation touchpoints across the website to ensure consistency and flow.

Technical Planning:

Leveraged GSAP for its robust animation capabilities and compatibility with modern web technologies.
Broke down complex animations into manageable tasks to ensure precision and efficiency.

Development & Testing:

Deliverables Outlined

For One International School, we developed a highly interactive website that featured advanced animations using GSAP, aligning with the client’s vision of creating a dynamic digital presence. The design was crafted to reflect the school’s innovative approach to education, combining modern aesthetics with engaging functionality.

The homepage featured interactive animations that were inspired by client-provided references and adapted to meet the unique needs of the project. These animations were not only visually stunning but also helped communicate the school’s ethos in a creative and compelling way.

The frontend was built to be fully responsive, ensuring the website provided a seamless experience across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. To complement this, the backend was integrated with a custom WordPress CMS, allowing the client to manage content easily and efficiently.

We also incorporated visually rich elements such as animated timelines and dynamic transitions between pages, which added depth to the user experience. These features were carefully optimized to ensure they performed well without compromising the website’s speed or usability.

The final result was a cutting-edge platform that effectively showcased the school’s values and offerings, helping them stand out in a competitive education market.
