A little look at your website, with love with love
We admire what you've built at NT Dance House — so we took a careful look at your website, the way a local parent would, and wrote up what we found.
Hello Natasha,
I’m Jasper, from KIX Labs — a technology studio I founded recently, just up the road in Thundersley. We’re a young studio, but with fifty-odd years of combined experience behind us: we design, build and look after websites and software for local businesses, and every now and then we take a proper, careful look at one that’s local to us and do a free, no-obligation audit to see where we might be able to help you and your business.
This is that look at your website. Everything here comes only from the pages anyone can open — I didn't fill in any forms or sign into anything. So please read it as a friendly note, not a report card. The good news comes first, because you've earned it. Then a few things that are worth knowing, worst first, so you can see the one to look at this week.
The short version
The school has done the hard part. Your reviews, your teaching, your care for families — all of it is real and lovely. The website is quietly letting that down. And, gently, it looks as though whoever built it has moved on: a few things have lapsed or gone stale that someone looking after the site would have caught. None of it is your fault, and all of it is fixable.
First, the things you're doing beautifully

What I found
None of this is meant to worry you — but taken together it's why the website isn't doing your school justice, and it's why it's worth a proper look.

I've kept the technical detail off this page
I've deliberately kept the exact technical detail off this page, because a page like this can be forwarded. I've written it up separately and I'm happy to send it to you directly, with a fix for each item — that one's on the house too. If you'd ever want a deeper, formal audit, we can talk about that separately.
These are all things we do every day
Everything above — keeping a site secure and current, looking after families' details, a fresh look, being found — is our bread and butter. We'd genuinely love to help, and there's no pressure and no obligation either way.
If any of it would be useful to talk through, we'd be more than happy to have a chat — over a cuppa in person, or on the phone, whenever suits you. No jargon, no hard sell, just a friendly conversation about your website and where it could go.
