DAVENPORT, IOWA (May 11, 2021) — To better serve the needs of students, staff and the community, the Davenport Community School District (DCSD) has launched a new website at davenportschools.org. The site features more videos, social-integration, and other engaging features to inform and inspire visitors.
“It was time to replace the previous website with a cutting-edge online experience,” said TJ Schneckloth, DCSD Superintendent. “The new website needed to speak to multiple audiences — students, parents, school staff, the community, and government. Keeping the world informed about all of our news and developments is always a top priority for us. The new website is an ever-evolving project, as any active site should be, and this new foundation will serve the district well for many years to come.”
TAG Communications, a Quad-Cities ad agency, worked with Davenport Schools on the project. “A team of experienced collaborators created the right architecture, voice, and a final design based on the district’s strong graphic look,” said Don Farber, TAG Chief Digital Officer.
The new website design provided a more-intuitive user-interface, with multiple quick links and easy-to-use navigation. The creative team then created an interlinking system of school websites, offering an online community for the district while still allowing every school to have its own identity. Each school has its own distinct points of pride, and their individual pages all present a bold DCSD look and feel while maintaining their unique personalities.
The new DCSD website features new Google event-calendar technology, a centralized staff-contacts system, social integration, and with other user experience and technology upgrades. Quad-Citians will especially enjoy the website’s photo galleries and video integration for nearly every page, all offering memorable imagery to enhance each visit to the website.
