Leoni Meadows
Project Background
Nothing is better than a project you connect with on a deep level. The Leoni Meadows website redesign is one of those projects.
As a former LMC camper turned aquatics director, Leoni Meadows has played a big role in my life. It means the world to me and is still one of my favorite places. It was an honor to have served as their website designer.
After roughly 15 years without a redesign. It was time for a better User Interface and User Experience.
The Project Brief
The Leoni Meadows director and essential staff came to me with a few essential elements for their new website.
Improve User Experience & Navigation
Highlight Availability As Retreat Center
Update Design
Self-Management
The New Home Page
The new home page took care of several primary needs. It simply and effectively divided the two user groups right from the start. By featuring a highlight video, and two simple buttons, people are quickly guided to their desired website section.
For experienced user, the same navigation menu remains across all website pages. Most importantly, the register button is always available in the top right corner - the primary desired user action.
Redesigning the entire website aesthetic helped to reduce clutter and provided a modernized, clean yet rustic look to gently serve as the background to incredible photos and video. Check out the before and after below.
Old Website - Summer Camps
Complex navigation - top tabs then side bar selection

The new website is responsive and every page adjusts to be the best possible experience depending on the screen you’re view it on.
Owner Manageable
Every website made by Clayton Douglas Design comes with training so that the actual website owner understands how to manage and update their own website and web presence.
Leoni Meadows is now able to update their own photos and text as necessary to keep their website up to date. By building the website in Squarespace, Clayton Douglas Design ensures this process is very user friendly and typically only requires a single training call.
Are you ready for a modern website that’s user friendly, easy to update, and sets you apart? Let’s make it happen!
