Overview

Arthur Findlay College is a world-renowned centre for the study of spiritualism and psychic sciences, welcoming students and visitors from around the globe. Its legacy website no longer reflected the College’s reputation or supported modern user expectations, particularly for international and mobile users. Granite 5 was appointed to refresh the brand and deliver a modern, intuitive WordPress website with integrated booking systems, enabling staff and volunteers to manage content easily while improving the experience for prospective students and visitors. 

The Challenge

Arthur Findlay College needed a digital platform that matched its global reputation. 

Outdated visual identity that no longer reflected the College’s stature

Complicated navigation and poor user journeys

Limited mobile responsiveness for international audiences

Manual accommodation and event booking processes

Need for a simple CMS usable by staff and volunteers
