Barbara Ingram School for the Arts FoundationHelping Build a Future for Young Artists

The Barbara Ingram School for the Arts is an innovative magnet high school offering majors across Theatre, Musical Theatre, Technical Theatre, Vocal and Instrumental Music, Dance, Creative Writing, Visual Arts, Computer Game Design and Animation (CGDA), and Digital Communications. Since its founding in 2009, it has provided a creative home for students pursuing excellence in the arts.

The Barbara Ingram School for the Arts Foundation supports this mission by funding master classes, enhanced curriculum, artist-in-residence programs, and access to state-of-the-art materials and technology.

The Challenge

The Foundation’s original website, launched in 2012, had become outdated. Content management was cumbersome, functionality was limited, and the site was built on a proprietary version of WordPress no longer supported by the developer.

The Foundation needed a site that:

Captured the creative spirit of Barbara Ingram School for the Arts
Felt professional but lively
Allowed staff to easily update content and grow the site over time

Our Approach

We worked closely with the Foundation to deliver a site that is both inspiring and practical. The new barbaraingramfoundation.org features a colorful, professional design that better represents the Foundation’s mission and offers the flexibility they needed for the future.

Key improvements include:

Clearer navigation that helps visitors quickly find information
Persistent calls-to-action encouraging donations and volunteer participation
Fully responsive design that looks great on phones, tablets, and desktops
Built-in email and social marketing tools for easier community outreach
Improved SEO performance to expand reach and support fundraising

The Foundation now has a vibrant, easy-to-manage platform that serves its administrative, community, and fundraising needs — and most importantly, helps support the next generation of artists.
