English Naturally
A brand evolution for immersive english learning
English Naturally has welcomed thousands of students to the South East of England since 1999, offering immersive English tuition through full immersion programmes, mini-stays, summer schools and host family experiences. Our refresh builds on the organisation’s trusted foundation, modernising a well-established brand and transforming a 12-year-old MODX website into a flexible digital platform powered by Laravel and Statamic.

Learning english, naturally
English Naturally needed a digital presence that reflected the quality, warmth and professionalism of its programmes. The existing website had served the business for many years, but its structure, design and technical foundations had become restrictive. We retained the recognisable character of the brand, preserving its established feel while giving it a sharper, brighter and more contemporary expression. The refreshed identity brings greater confidence to the logo, typography, colour palette and interface, creating a visual language that feels personal, premium and full of energy.
A modern platform for a growing organisation
The website was rebuilt from the ground up using a Laravel framework with Statamic CMS, replacing the limitations of the previous MODX setup with a faster, more flexible and easier-to-manage platform. This new technical foundation gives English Naturally greater control over content, programmes, locations, resources and user journeys, while creating room for the website to evolve with the business.
The platform also introduces secure sign-in functionality for host families, giving them access to a dedicated dashboard where they can manage key information, complete relevant actions and support the operational needs of the wider English Naturally team.
Designed around real journeys
Our strategy sessions uncovered that multiple audiences were visiting the site, from students, parents, schools, international agents, partner organisations and local host families. All with different intentions and behaviours so we focussed on making the user experience needed to become clearer and more intuitive. We restructured the website around how people actually explore the organisation, creating focused journeys for full immersion programmes, mini-stays, summer schools and host family opportunities.
Large-scale navigation, clearer content hierarchy and reusable page structures help visitors understand what English Naturally offers quickly, while making complex programme information feel simple, reassuring and easy to browse.
A system for every stay
To support the breadth of English Naturally’s offer, we developed a flexible design system that works across mini-stays, residentials, programme pages, location content and application journeys. Bold typography, rich photography, soft interface details and a distinctive green-led palette create a confident visual world that feels fresh without losing the warmth of the original brand.
From location cards and map-led content to programme modules, mobile menus and host-family calls to action, every component was designed to feel connected, consistent and easy to extend.
