**A digital redesign that gives resonance to 90 years of musical excellence.**

In 2021, the École de musique Vincent-d'Indy sought a digital presence that aligned with its updated branding and visual identity. Kffein was brought on board to redesign its UX architecture and build a modular CMS on Craft, while ensuring the team can manage content updates all its own.

## A Storied Music Institution Embraces the Digital Age

The École de musique Vincent-d'Indy, located in Outremont, is a pre-university-level institution with a 90-year history of training generations of music students. In 2021, the school refreshed its visual and communications identity—and needed a digital presence to match its new look.

## Areas of reflection

The project needed to address several key challenges tied to the nature of the institution. With a diverse range of programs serving multiple audiences, the site had to structure information in a clear and accessible manner. Providing administrators with greater autonomy over content management was also essential. Finally, the redesign aimed to showcase the school's new visual identity while improving search engine optimization (SEO) to strengthen its online visibility.

Our approach

### Rethinking user journeys to guide visitors

We paid particular attention to the website’s UX architecture, clarifying the program offering, effectively guiding visitors toward enrollment, and strengthening conversions through well-structured content and strategic calls to action.

### Adapting the visual identity to the web

The school's visual identity was translated for the web with special attention given to consistency and continuity, conveying the institution's history and personality through a contemporary interface.

### Templates designed for flexibility

We designed several page templates—news, events, landing pages, and others—so the team could easily structure varied content without compromising visual consistency.

### A modular CMS for complete autonomy

Using Craft CMS with modular block logic, we built the site, allowing administrators to freely and independently compose their pages.

### A smooth experience even with rich content

We designed subtle animations and integrated them throughout the layout, adding a dynamic element to site navigation without affecting readability, even on such a content-rich design.
