Custom Squarespace Website For Denver Academic Tutors

Denver Academic Tutors Turn To Squarespace for New Website

Rise Academic Services come to Agave Studio for new Squarespace Website

We get a lot of business owners coming to us who have built their own website, and subsequently decided it needed some sprucing up from a Squarespace Expert. We love these clients since they already have a good understanding of the Squarespace tools and how things work, but unfortunately not everyone can be a designer! This is where Agave stepped in to help the owner at Rise Academic in Denver upgrade her site to attract new clients for her academic services.

The Website Design Brief

Our initial consultation with Rise Academic revealed that while they had established an online presence through Squarespace, their website wasn't fully capitalizing on their potential to connect with their target audience. The owner's primary concern centered on creating a more effective showcase of their educational services portfolio, specifically designed to resonate with both parents and students seeking academic support.

The existing Squarespace website, while functional, needed professional refinement to better reflect Rise Academic's brand identity and value proposition. Through our discussion, we identified several key objectives: developing a more intuitive navigation structure that would guide visitors to relevant service information, implementing a clearer hierarchy of educational offerings, and creating compelling content sections that would address the specific needs and concerns of both parent and student demographics.

Understanding Rise Academic's position as an educational service provider, we recognized the importance of establishing credibility and trust through the website's design and content. The owner emphasized the need to maintain the Squarespace platform, as it provided the right balance of functionality and ease of maintenance for their team. Our role would be to leverage our Squarespace expertise to optimize the existing framework rather than building an entirely new website.

The Design Process

The design journey for Rise Academic's website began with establishing a strong visual foundation rooted in their existing brand identity. Our Squarespace design team at Agave carefully analyzed their logo to guide our typography and color selections, ensuring every visual element would work harmoniously while maintaining professionalism and readability – crucial considerations for an educational services website. This foundational work involved expanding their color palette to include complementary and accent colors that would create clear visual hierarchy throughout the site.

The visual development phase focused on curating educational imagery from Unsplash that would resonate with both parents and students, specifically seeking photographs that conveyed academic success and collaborative learning environments. These carefully selected visual assets worked in concert with the typography and color choices to create a warm, approachable atmosphere while maintaining the professional tone expected of an educational institution. Our team then brought these elements together in Squarespace, strategically featuring Rise Academic's services across multiple touchpoints on the site – from prominent homepage placement to detailed individual service pages – ensuring that their core offerings remained front and center throughout the user experience.

The Result

The newly designed Rise Academic website achieves a delicate balance between approachability and educational professionalism, creating an online presence that speaks effectively to both parents and students. The carefully chosen color palette, centered around complementary blues and yellows, establishes an environment that feels simultaneously welcoming and academically oriented. These colors work in tandem with the site's typography and imagery to create visual touchpoints that guide visitors naturally through the available academic services and resources.

At the heart of the website's functionality lies a streamlined contact form that is sent to Rise to make sure all leads are counted for, reflecting our understanding that parents searching for academic support need a clear, friction-free path to connect with tutoring services. The site's architecture places particular emphasis on the Services page, where academic offerings are presented with clarity and depth, allowing visitors to fully understand the scope and value of Rise Academic's educational support programs. The overall design successfully transforms what was once a basic Squarespace site into a compelling digital platform that not only showcases Rise Academic's expertise but also facilitates meaningful connections between tutors and potential clients, effectively serving as both an informational resource and a practical tool for engaging with the business.
