Avondale School District, New Client - Custom
As a smaller, yet quite nimble, company; Foxbright earns a lot of trust through word-of-mouth which in turn goes much further toward client satisfaction (and affordability) than expensive ad and marketing campaigns. ASD is a great case-in-point with their communication team having worked with another Foxbright partner over the years. The ASD team was incredibly well-organized and brought a wealth of ideas to the project table. Bringing together inspiration from numerous other websites and a complete overhaul and reorganization of content, we're pleased to present one of our most interactive custom designs to date. And to top it off, even our designers learned some new tricks throughout the project!
Project Highlights
- Stories, multi-calendars, and button grids to powerup an all-inclusive News & Events page.
- Engaging and interactive homepage with a floating focus video, expanding hover effects, motion-enabled background graphics, and social media fly-out.
- Color-coordinated themes for building pages to enforce school branding while maintaining the district identity.
- Embedded Radio Widget in header for streaming Avondale's student radio station, WAHS. How cool is that!? (yes, I'm a new fan)
Warren Woods Public Schools, Redesign - Kapok
Having been a partner for over 10 years, sometimes it's simply time for a refresh. We love to hear from clients getting a decade of utility from a design but you don't need me to tell you, so much has changed since 2014! WWPS picked the timeless template Kapok to leverage the interactivity and modern feel provided by one of Foxbright's most popular designs. WWPS shifted more of their updates into news posts to help keep the content dynamic, in addition to other visual elements. Cheers to 10 more years, or as WWPS says it so well in their vision statement: 'Together Make It Happen'.
Project Highlights
- Logo watermarks and branded parallax texture
- Stylized horizontal social feed
- Consolidated and engaging resources, kiss 'I can't find it' goodbye
Sports? We like sports!
While schools and education is Foxbright's bread-and-butter, we love the creative luxury of dabbling in other sectors from time to time. What a treat this holiday season to work through two unique athletic-related designs, both within the Magnolia template which proves after each project, is simply the template that punches above it's weight.

Caledonia Youth Sports Association, New Client - Magnolia
Uniquely affiliated with Caledonia Community Schools, CYSA was ready for their own place to call home (digitally that is. They share grounds with CCS.) Offering youth sports programs for the Caledonia region, an attractive online identity can go the distance in showcasing your facilities and programming. CYSA didn't miss a beat providing a stunning drone footage montage to showcase their fields and facilities. Using the more traditional version of Magnolia's homepage layout (yes, Magnolia is pre-built with multiple home layouts) CYSA merged their engaging video footage, with a visual program mosaic and pop-out elements for a well crafted design fit for an organization of any stature.
Project Highlights
- Video focus with crisp text and color overlays
- Program mosaic with fly-up league descriptions
- Custom forms to streamline scheduling
West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance, New Client - Magnolia
Fun Fact: Foxbright has a couple serious bikers on our team. It's only natural to partner up with West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance to change their gears and help take their mission to more visual heights. Template Magnolia is increasingly popular for organizations thanks to it's modern and clean look, plus the option for parallax background graphics providing motion as visitors navigate the page. Stylized social feed, attention-grabbing events, and visual sponsors grid help make this essential information more captivating. Floating visual quicklinks and unique hover effects tied to the WMMBA logo produced a striking website with a firm grip on the trails ahead.
Project Highlights
- Parallax hompage layout for a fluid scrolling experience
- Bold look without feeling generic or 'blocky'
- Unique button hovers and creative use of 'building list' feature for trails catalog
Nutmegs roasting on an open fire...
Oh wait, well at least Nutmeg fits the flavor of the season... Wrapping up our 2024 we celebrate two launches into one of our newest template designs, Nutmeg!
Reading Community Schools, New Client - Nutmeg
Reading Community Schools was one of those unique projects where they essentially say 'take the reigns and help us clean up'. Their wish is my command! With an original site being more static and flat navigationally - it's always our pleasure to convert endless page redirect links into more visual resource lists and pushing Foxbright's proprietary features into rich design the client didn't know they wanted until the reveal. Keeping things tidy was their mission, and we made it happen by flattening out their building landing pages so everything is accessible at their communities fingertips. All information in one place + Easy to find = YES.
Project Highlights
- Working with bold colors to make a statement, without being overwhelming
- So long redirect-based navigation Hello interactive resource lists
- Building list visualizes the most important contact information
Cape May Tech, New Client - Nutmeg
Hailing from the East Coast, Cape May Tech was a breath of fresh air to work with. Having their full technical team on board, Cape Tech handled their own content migration and If I didn't know better, I'd have thought they've been using Foxbright for years! If they weren't in New Jersey I might need to watch out for my own job A testament to their expertise and Foxbright's ease-of-use, we cruised through the entire project design-to-launch in not much more than a month. If this project couldn't get more exciting, Cape Tech's partner organization will be launching their own site using a theme on this same design. Stay tuned!
Project Highlights
- Mega Menus to keep main navigation organized and easy to read
- Floating spotlights for 'above the fold' announcements
- Parallax background behind column section
What's Next?
It's been a unseasonably busy holiday season for Foxbright, between partner implementations and massive technology upgrades for our hosting and CMS platform. Our team has never been more excited to dive back into our feature and enhancement roadmap for spring/summer releases. Keep an eye out for a UI overhaul of Foxbright's App & Mass Notifications tool, new CMS features and improvements to existing modules, and a brand new template sure to turn traditional layouts on their side (this will make sense when you see it, I promise.) Don't be a stranger!
