Web Development

An integrated system for schools in Hafnarfjörður

Grunnskólar Hafnarfjarðar

About the project

The schools in Hafnarfjörður required modern, user-friendly websites to enhance communication and provide key resources for parents and staff. These websites were designed to centralize essential school information, including schedules, news, lunch menus, school calendars, and internal programs. The result is a network of nine individual school websites tailored to their communities while maintaining a cohesive approach in functionality and design.
