Project Overview
The Del La Salle website redesign project was a comprehensive modernization initiative executed by Data Function and fully developed on the final live site. The project aimed to create a more engaging, performance-driven, and accessible online experience that reflects the institution’s academic excellence and forward-thinking values. The development was carried out directly on the live domain, ensuring real-time testing, optimization, and seamless deployment without downtime. The new platform enhances usability, integrates advanced site components, and provides a dynamic structure tailored to both visitors and administrators.

Solutions
Data Function independently developed and optimized the entire De La Salle website directly within the Finalsite platform, handling every aspect from structure to launch. The project involved in-depth customization of Finalsite’s CMS modules, layout refinement, and custom code implementation to enhance performance and functionality.
Our team rebuilt and optimized events, calendars, staff directories, and contact forms, ensuring seamless operation across all devices. Development and testing were carried out entirely on the live Finalsite environment, allowing real-time deployment and validation without downtime. Every design and functional element was crafted to improve speed, accessibility, and overall user engagement while maintaining the school’s identity and branding consistency.
Impact
The redesigned De La Salle website represents a complete transformation in functionality and design. Developed entirely by Data Function on the Finalsite live platform, it delivers an intuitive, reliable, and visually engaging experience for all users. The enhanced structure improves content accessibility, navigation flow, and backend management efficiency.
This project demonstrates Function’s expertise in custom Finalsite development, emphasizing scalability, performance, and user experience. The result is a professional, responsive website that aligns with the school’s identity and supports its mission through a robust and future-ready digital platform.
