Coming Soon: Card Design - Enhanced School Info Page

This sample school uses an enhanced school information page to create a card-based design. Allows a school to utilize already-existing content from PGCPS with a consistent icon-driven design and layout. Lessens the work while providing a professional look.

2 column

Margaret Brent Regional School uses a 2 column layout with rotating stories and announcements.

2 Column with Large Rotating Story

High Bridge Elementary uses a 2 column layout with a larger photo.

2 Column with Announcements Focus

Judith P. Hoyer Montessori uses a 2 column layout with a focus on announcements. This allows them to schedule most of their website changes in advance.

Hybrid - 2 Column - 3 Column

Benjamin Tasker Middle School uses a 2 column top, 3 column bottom design. This requires more content blocks, but allows for larger rotating stories.

3 Column - Custom Graphics

Accokeek Academy uses a 3-column layout for desktop with custom graphics created by their web editor. Highlights include a quicklinks section that remains visible on a mobile device.
