Choosing a preschool is one of the most emotional decisions a parent makes, and one of the most researched. The site had to hold both — the reassurance of a second home and the evidence of a serious institution. Lean too soft and it reads as daycare; too formal and the warmth disappears.
Credibility was the harder half. Four founders with doctorates, LSE and Cambridge credentials, hospitality leadership — genuine authority that becomes a wall of text if you let it. We built the founder section to let a parent skim faces first and read depth only when they wanted it. PATH's site now does what a school tour does — it welcomes first, then reassures, then shows the work behind the warmth. Every section earns the next click rather than demanding it.
Next projects.
