The challenge
A public school bond campaign carries weight. Voters want clarity. Families want reassurance. Staff want specifics. And everyone wants to understand how funds will be used.
The information itself was complex — funding structures, facilities plans, timelines, tax implications. The challenge wasn’t persuasion through flash. It was clarity through structure.
The website needed to feel straightforward, credible, and easy to navigate — especially for people making an important civic decision.

How it came together
We focused on reducing friction. Clear navigation. Direct language. Balanced hierarchy. Information layered so visitors could move quickly between “what,” “why,” and “how,” with the option to go deeper.
The result was a calm, transparent digital presence during a high-stakes civic moment. The bond measure ultimately passed with 85% voter approval — a strong signal of community confidence in the proposal.
