Guess what, we’ve had another launch! Starting this December off with a bang. We are proud to shout out about the new Lee Matthews British Military Martial Arts website. It launched on the 1st December 2017.
About British Military Martial Arts
British Military Martial Arts (BMMA) is a one of a kind organization. As they are the only one in the UK to have both ex-military and civilian instructors teaching military themed martial arts.
The organisation was founded in 2001 by Lee Matthews. He spent 7 years serving in the Third Battalion of the Parachute Regiment. After which, he wanted to teach martial arts with a difference.
All BMMA instructors are inspirational, motivational and always get the best out of the pupils in every class. The classes consist of many martial art styles including Karate, Kung-Fu, Ju-jitsu and Kickboxing. All are catered to all ages and levels.
Today, BMMA has over 80 locations across the country. It has new schools opening each year. With aims to become the biggest and best martial arts school in the country.
The Task
The brief for this project is to deliver a website that allows Lee Matthews British Military Martial Arts to take the next step into the world wide web.
The website needed to be designed to reflect the BMMA’s passion, enthusiasm and professionalism. This alongside teaching children and adults martial arts with military precision. Also, with a keen eye for detail and ensuring that the website follows the continuity from the classroom to the online presence that the BMMA have.
The site needed to be developed into a scalable and responsive website. That integrates seamlessly with the API for BMMA’s CRM system. Allowing parents and adults to book courses via the website.
The Website
With the visuals, we needed to create something that would allow BMMA to stand out. We created a strong visual style across the website. Making sure that all photos where possible used across the site had the same treatment applied to them. With large chunky text across the headers and call to actions.
We focused on a clean and concise user journey. Making sure that users were guided through the website to each key stage of the buying process. Ensuring that appropriate images were used throughout the site to convey the energetic and fun nature of the classes.
The website’s CMS is built in Drupal and integrates with the API for their CRM system. Using the API to pull through all the class locations, instructors and allow for parents/students to book their free trial through the site.
Before
After
Within a few days of the website launching, we can already see improvements in the way that users are using the site. A 11% reduction in bounce rate and, a 66% increase in page views on the site, in just a few days! We can’t wait to see what results the site generates in full in a few months time!
