Train Station Preschool had plans for a more comprehensive website, but the immediate priority was simply to establish an online presence. They wanted somewhere families could learn about the school and find essential information while they worked toward something more complete.

In May 2024, we launched a simple, welcoming website that introduced the preschool, shared information about its curriculum and provided ways for parents to get in touch or learn about enrollment.

It was intentionally a smaller project, designed to give Train Station a starting point without building more than they needed at the time.

The original 2024 Train Station Preschool website: the Our Approach page with its Christian Based Preschool and Prepared For Success sections, and the Application page with buttons for the application, fee schedule, parent handbook and forms, a note inviting families to visit, and the Application section.
On the original site, Our Approach explained the preschool’s program and curriculum, and the Application page gathered enrollment details and forms in one place.

Connecting the Preschool to Its Wider Community

Train Station Preschool is part of the Brightmoor community in Novi, Michigan, alongside Novi Christian Academy.

Having also worked on the websites for Brightmoor Church and Novi Christian Academy, we wanted Train Station’s website to feel connected to those organizations while still having its own identity.

The result was a consistent look across the three websites, with each one focused on the people it serves.

Homepages and footers of three original websites side by side: Train Station Preschool in rose, Novi Christian Academy in deep red and Brightmoor Christian Church in teal, each with a similar header, video section and angled footer with a map and links to the other two organizations.
Train Station, Novi Christian Academy and Brightmoor Church shared one layout in their own colours, and each footer linked to the other two. The screenshots are from May 2024, except Brightmoor’s, from August 2024.

A Starting Point for What Came Next

This first website was always intended to be a stepping stone. When Train Station was ready to invest in a more complete online experience, we had the opportunity to redesign the website from the ground up.

We’ll be sharing that newer project separately, but wanted to keep this original build in our portfolio as part of the school’s story and our ongoing relationship.

We launched the original site in 2024 and continue to provide website hosting for Train Station Preschool today.
