After more than a year of planning and development, Kamehameha Schools is proud to officially launch its newly redesigned website. This site was created with one goal in mind: to connect learners worldwide with the trust’s educational mission.
The site’s elegant new design, streamlined navigation, and stunning visuals make it easier to find information on scholarships, land stewardship, community education, career opportunities and more.
The site is also optimized for mobile devices, so information is just a click, tap or swipe away.
“Clear and consistent labeling of the different parts of the site, especially in navigation, is a big part of what makes it more intuitive” says KS Digital Innovation Manager Andreas Arvman, leader of the in-house Web design team.
“Redesigning all the elements of the site – including giving it a consistent look throughout and making sure all of its pieces have a purpose – also helped us achieve this goal.”
The New I Mua
At the heart of the website’s home page is the I Mua Newsroom. The online newsroom replaces KS’ quarterly I Mua alumni magazine, and will be refreshed with new content weekly.
Click through the I Mua Newsroom to its home page to read more stories on KS educational and endowment initiatives. The newsroom also features a photo gallery section that gives users a glimpse at KS’ campus and community programs.
“I Mua magazine has always been very popular with our key audiences,” says KS Internal Communications Manager Ed Kalama. “Our goal is to make this newsroom just as popular as the magazine has always been.
“The Internet enables us to have instantaneous communication with our stakeholders, allowing us to publish stories of interest to our readers on a more frequent basis. The Web as a platform is limitless, and as the years go on we hope to add many new features of interest to the site.”
KS’ I Mua magazine had a circulation of more than 25,000 alumni and other members of the KS ‘ohana. For those nostalgic for the print piece, KS will produce an annual print version of I Mua that will feature educational and endowment highlights for the fiscal year.
