Children’s Meeting House had a story worth telling.
For more than 50 years, CMH has helped students learn, explore, discover, and grow through an authentic Montessori education. Their campus is unlike anything else in the area, with classrooms, gardens, trails, nature studies, and a community that feels every bit as thoughtful as the education itself.
The problem? Their website wasn’t keeping up.
The existing site was difficult to use on mobile, hard for the CMH team to maintain, and built on aging technology that made even simple content updates feel more complicated than they needed to be. For prospective families, that meant the digital experience didn’t reflect the warmth, clarity, or quality of the real-life CMH experience.
So AGNT got to work.
Whatcha Need?
Website Redesign
CMH needed a modern, responsive website that made the school easier to explore, easier to understand, and easier to love from the first click.
Content Strategy
The old site had important information, but families needed a clearer path through it. We helped organize the story around what matters most: the school’s philosophy, programs, campus, admissions process, and community.
CMS Modernization
A school website changes constantly. Events, admissions dates, program details, staff information, news, and resources all need to be easy to manage. The new site needed to give the CMH team more control without requiring a developer for every little update.
Technology Upgrade
Outdated tools were creating friction behind the scenes. CMH needed a stronger technical foundation that would be easier to maintain, easier to scale, and better aligned with current web standards.
What We Did
We made the site mobile-friendly
Families aren’t only researching schools from a desktop computer. They’re checking tuition, looking up events, filling out inquiry forms, and scheduling tours from phones in the middle of very busy days.
The new CMH site was designed and developed responsively, so content feels natural across desktop, tablet, and mobile. Program pages, navigation, contact information, and calls to action were all rebuilt to create a smoother experience no matter how families arrive.
We brought structure to the story
CMH has a lot to offer: Montessori education, nature-based learning, experienced teachers, individualized instruction, enrichment programs, admissions resources, events, and a deeply rooted campus culture.
Rather than simply move old content into a new design, AGNT helped reshape the information architecture so users could quickly understand what makes CMH different. The navigation was organized around clear audience needs, including school information, programs, resources, admissions, and ways to support the school.
The result is a site that helps families move from curiosity to confidence.
We created a better content management experience
A great school website should not be a pain to update.
We rebuilt the site with a more manageable content structure, giving the CMH team a better way to update pages, publish news, manage events, and keep key information current. Instead of wrestling with outdated layouts or brittle page structures, the new site gives the team a cleaner, more intuitive way to keep the website alive.
That matters, because a school website is never really finished. It grows with the calendar, the community, and the families it serves.
We upgraded the technology
The old CMH site was held back by outdated technology, which limited performance, flexibility, and long-term maintainability.
AGNT replaced the aging setup with a more modern WordPress build, improving the foundation of the site while preserving the heart of the CMH brand. The new site gives CMH a stronger platform for today and a better base for what comes next.
We built around action
A school website needs to do more than look good. It needs to help families take the next step.
Throughout the redesign, we emphasized key actions like scheduling a tour, contacting the school, exploring programs, reviewing admissions information, and finding resources. By making those actions more visible and easier to follow, the new website better supports both prospective families and the CMH administrative team.
