THANK YOU:

Thank you for filling your Google Folder with beautiful assets! These images helped us design personalized theme options for the March 27th meeting. Keep adding images... if you can think of satisfying categories, such as "images that are related to Together Time, the 4s & 5s Program" or images that are "related to the movement and music curriculum" it will ease the emphasis on the copy. We added the links to the admissions video (from vimeo) to a doc file in the Assets 2025 folder. 

 


Squarespace has released our drafts! I apologize for the delay. The password to view the drafts is "gracehicksbrooklyn". View on your desktop, we will adapt properly for smart phones & tablets at a later step: 

DRAFT 01a: Hales (about this template)
This template has elements that are found on the Christ Church Day School website. It is very flexible and we can tailor every bit of it to GCS. The footer includes a slightly less decorative home page option, click the "about" link to preview it. Copy & images have an animated appearance on the website, this can be turned off. Most other pages have been formatted to show the different ways information can be organized - these should be updated to incorporate more images.

DRAFT 01x: Hales (about this template)
This version incorporates the video featuring the buildings, rooms & street views of Grace Church School. There is an additional option of how to incorporate the video elsewhere on a page. 

DRAFT 01b: Clove (about this template), which is loosely based on the West Village Nursery School website and incorporates elements found in the Garden House School. The pages are more playful and less corporate.

DRAFT 01c: Adri (about this template) This template has elements we can use that are popular from a few different websites you like, i.e. the layout you like with Faye School and the landing page you like from C&C but using the Crimson font from the GCS logo which is inline with the fonts from Brearley. There are two alternate home page designs that that are less decorative, you can be access them using the footer menu's "about" and "admissions" links.
