At Pixel & Hammer, we thrive on designing websites that reflect the heart and soul of the organizations we work with—and our latest launch is a prime example. We’re thrilled to unveil the brand-new website for The School in Rose Valley (SRV), a historic progressive school nestled on 9.5 wooded acres just outside Media, Pennsylvania.
With a legacy that stretches back to 1929, SRV is more than a school—it’s a vibrant, close-knit community where education is grounded in curiosity, nature, and connection. Our task? Bring that same energy and vision to their digital presence.
Building a Joyful, Strategic Experience—For Everyone
From the very beginning, this was a deeply collaborative project. Working within the school’s existing brand guidelines, we refreshed the site with bold colors, playful visuals, and a design system that’s just as functional for parents and staff as it is delightful for curious prospective families.

Here's what we delivered
Custom Web Design, Rooted in SRV’s Mission
We took inspiration from SRV’s progressive philosophy and vibrant campus life to create a site that feels joyful, warm, and welcoming. Bright colors and expressive layouts reflect the creativity and spirit of the school while maintaining a polished, accessible structure.
Fully Custom WordPress Backend
Our developers implemented an intuitive and flexible WordPress CMS experience, outfitted with custom fields and content blocks to give the SRV marketing and admissions team total control—no coding required. Managing program pages, staff bios, community updates, and admissions forms is now faster and simpler than ever.
Tailored Training & Support
Once the new site was complete, we delivered customized training to the SRV team to ensure they were fully empowered to manage and grow the site on their own. From uploading newsletter posts to adding events and updates, SRV’s staff is ready to lead their digital presence into the future.
A Site That Honors the Legacy—and Looks Toward the Future
Whether it’s a parent looking for admissions info, a board member reading up on the school’s mission, or a prospective teacher exploring SRV’s unique learning approach, the new site is built to deliver an exceptional user experience.
With dedicated sections for:
- Admissions
- Preschool through Sixth Grade Programs
- Community News & Happenings
- Alumni Engagement
- Progressive Education Philosophy
…the site now reflects everything that makes SRV special, in a format that’s easy to navigate and exciting to explore.
We’re proud to have partnered with The School in Rose Valley to create a website as joyful, inspiring, and thoughtful as the school itself. With this new platform, SRV is ready to welcome the next generation of learners—and families—into their happy place.
