The Client
With decades of experience in home education, this family-run business blends faith, learning, and care to support parents and schools across Canada.
The Learning House, a family-owned business, has been providing quality educational resources since 1994. With over 10,000 in-stock titles, they serve families, homeschools, and schools across Canada. Known for their exceptional selection, The Learning House is especially dedicated to supporting families with unique learning challenges, offering resources that cater to diverse educational needs.
The Challenge
Their previous website didn’t make education and accessibility easy enough
When The Learning House reached out for help, their website was no longer doing justice to the values they stand for. The design felt outdated, hard to navigate, and didn’t reflect the welcoming and approachable nature of their services. Their website needed a refresh that would match their mission of making learning accessible and fun for everyone, with an emphasis on helping families connect with the right educational tools.
The Direction
Design with accessibility and fun at its core
The Learning House’s new website was designed with a perfect blend of playfulness and practicality. We used vibrant graphics, lively strokes, and sticker-like illustrations to create a fun, inviting environment. At the same time, we ensured that the site was fully accessible, so every user, regardless of their needs, could easily navigate and access the vast educational resources available. The carefully selected color palette brings together energetic and welcoming shades, creating a balanced atmosphere that aligns with the brand’s mission of supporting diverse learners.
The Result
A website that’s an extension of their mission to support learning at every stage
The result is a website that feels like a natural extension of The Learning House’s commitment to making learning enjoyable and accessible. The playful design gives the site personality, while the intuitive layout ensures that users of all backgrounds can easily find and purchase resources. The site is now an inviting digital space that reflects the brand’s warmth and passion for home education, making it easier for families to engage with the content they love and need.
Unique Functionality
Designed to make finding the right resource easy
Beyond the look and feel, the site was built to support busy families and educators in finding what they need with ease. Custom filtering by grade, subject, and publisher makes browsing feel intuitive, while a powerful search helps surface titles quickly. Built on WooCommerce, the shopping experience is smooth from start to finish, with thoughtful touches that make the process feel simple, even when the catalog runs deep. It’s all about creating a store that works beautifully for the people who rely on it most.
