case study
Our Lady of Victory (OLV) School
Empowering a Local School with a Self-Sustaining Website and Storytelling Toolkit
overview
Our Lady of Victory Catholic School (OLV) needed more than a new website—they needed a way to tell their story, share updates, and keep the community informed without relying on outside help.
The challenge? They had no current photography or video, and no platform that staff could update confidently. Growth Forge Studio partnered with OLV to solve both problems—capturing the spirit of the school visually, and building a flexible, easy-to-manage website that could grow with them.
what we did:
Year-Long Visual Storytelling
We spent a full school year documenting OLV’s day-to-day life:
-
Classroom photography
-
Candid student life and event coverage
-
Video content showcasing the energy and mission of the school
This gave OLV a complete visual library to support their website and other communications for years to come.
Website Design and Development
With a solid content foundation, we designed a website that was:
-
Simple to navigate for parents, students, and staff
-
Easy to update internally, without technical expertise
-
Built with flexible templates for staff bios, events, announcements, and admissions
-
Mobile-friendly and visually aligned with the school’s values
We also trained key staff on how to manage the site—including adding/removing staff, uploading principal newsletters, and updating homepage content. Everything was built to be intuitive and sustainable.
Growth Forge continues to provide support as needed, but there’s no ongoing contract. The OLV team runs the site independently, and we’re here when they want additional help or guidance.
