PROJECT OVERVIEW

KUWA is a Congolese cultural school based in Brussels. Its mission is powerful and deeply rooted: to transmit the cultural richness of the Congo through language, history and values with rigour and kindness. When KUWA approached me, the intention wasn’t just to “refresh” a website but to elevate the entire digital presence so it could reflect the seriousness, structure and long-term vision of the institution.

The Challenge

The previous website felt amateurish and visually chaotic. More importantly, it did not support the school’s growth.

Several key issues emerged during the audit:

  • No cohesive branding: The school relied mainly on the colours of the Congolese flag, without a structured brand identity aligned with its new strategic direction.
  • No clear subscription system: Parents had no streamlined way to register their children.
  • No clearly defined target audience: The offer was not segmented by age or educational level.
  • No pricing transparency
  • No structured communication hub
  • No newsletter system

The website existed but it wasn’t functioning as a decision-making tool.

The Strategy

We approached this project holistically. Not as “design”, but as positioning.

1. Brand Elevation

The first step was to refine KUWA’s visual identity.

  • I simplified the logo to create a cleaner, more professional mark.
  • I upgraded the typography to Avenir, a typeface that balances modernity and clarity.
  • The colour palette was redefined to move away from an informal use of national colours toward a more intentional, structured brand system aligned with KUWA’s new face.

The goal was simple: maintain cultural pride while elevating perceived professionalism.

2. Structural Clarity

We restructured the entire website architecture.

A new “Education” section was introduced, clearly defining age groups and educational objectives for each level. This immediately helped parents identify where their child belonged.

A dedicated “Prices” page was created to ensure full transparency. Clear pricing builds trust and trust builds enrollment.

3. Operational Efficiency

To solve the subscription issue, we integrated MyScol, a professional school management system: MyScol

This enabled KUWA to transition from manual processes to a structured enrollment system, improving both the user experience and internal organisation.

4. Communication & Growth

We designed a “News” page to centralise upcoming events and school updates.

I activated a newsletter system to keep parents and the community informed about:

  • New registrations
  • Cultural events
  • Educational developments
  • Institutional announcements

We transformed the website from a static platform into a living ecosystem.

The Result

KUWA now has:

  • A professional, cohesive brand identity
  • A structured and intuitive website
  • Clear target segmentation
  • Transparent pricing
  • A streamlined enrollment process
  • A communication system that supports long-term growth

The transformation wasn’t cosmetic but strategic.

The website now reflects the institution’s seriousness and supports its mission of cultural transmission with clarity and authority.
