Intro
Pannonhalmi Bencés Gimnázium - The digital rebirthof the country’s oldest school
Processes:
September 2024
The country’s oldest educational institution, with a history spanning over a thousand years, approached us to help renew their online presence.
Our goal was to create a modern platform that faithfully reflects both their traditions and history, while meeting the expectations of today’s digital age. At the same time, the site needed to remain user-friendly and informative for all age groups.
THE GOAL
The project focused on creating a new, modern website that:
- accurately reflects values
- supports the flow of information between students, parents, and teachers
- simplifies access to events and documents
- provides a modern, responsive user experience across all platforms
Before and after

A balance between tradition and innovation:
The greatest challenge was creating a platform that authentically reflects the more than a thousand year history of education in Pannonhalma, while still delivering a modern user experience.
Diverse target audience:
The website had to be clear and understandable for teenage students, parents, teachers, and alumni alike.
Simplifying content management:
There was a need to develop a backend system that is easy to manage, yet flexible and customizable.
Technical transition:
Secure, seamless, and bulk migration of content and data from the old system, while keeping the website accessible throughout the process.
