Sandwell Parents

The Sandwell Parents site provides a virtual support network and dialogue between parents. It is meant to provide easy access to information aimed at helping parents and children alike, as well as advice from the surrounding web community.

The design reflects the fact that this is a site dealing primarily with childhood and parenting topics. The optimistic tone and hand-drawn graphics reinforce the general care-free feeling associated with the age, reassuring worried parents that help and solutions are at hand. It also helps in creating the kind of intimate family atmosphere where one is more likely to feel connected to peers.
