Empowering Through Discipline and Skill
Dojo East Rand Karate: A Journey of Mastery
Discover how Dojo East Rand Karate transforms lives through the art of karate, fostering discipline, respect, and personal growth.
A Story in Research
The Situation
There are currently three Dojos in the East Rand (Benoni, Boksburg & Kempton Park). The client requested a website that will feature information about all three Dojos and the instructors. The goal is also to get the website to rank high on Google search and to get more students to join the amazing karate family and community.
Goals
- Showcase the high standard & introduce the accomplished instructors.
- Improve visibility and marketing of the Dojo;
- Conversion of website visitors to new members;
- User-friendly and informative website;
- Build and improve SEO to increase search engine traffic and future growth.
- Fully Responsive WordPress Website.
Solution
It was suggested to the client that we design a modern WordPress website for The Dojo. The motivation for using the WordPress platform is that it is user-friendly, responsive (mobile friendly) and rank high on Google Search.
The Result
A professional website with all the requirements converted visitors into members and improved Search Engine Optimization.
Overcoming Challenges
Product Features
The website has a clean minimal and responsive design. It includes information on what karate is and the health benefits. Karate is not just about self-defence and fitness, it is a way of life that promotes personal development through the core values of integrity and loyalty.
The website is full of opportunities to explore all NWS Karate has to offer at their Dojos. It includes demonstrating the standard, accomplished instructors, training sessions, events, history, and philosophy.
Minimal Design
User Experience Research
Various simlar websites and information was researched to ensure a good user experience.
Design & Layout
The minimal and modern layout ensures that the website is user-friendly, visually appealing, and easy to navigate.
For the NWS Karate East Rand website branding, incorporating the colors of white, black, and red creates a striking and impactful visual identity:
White background: Clean, professional, easy to read, and keeps the site looking modern.
Red accents: Red matches the dojo’s branding (logo and contact bar) and conveys energy, strength, and passion. Best used for headings, buttons, and highlights.
Black or dark gray text: Much more readable on white than red or white text. It gives balance, authority, and ensures accessibility.
Branding Elements
Integrated karate-inspired graphics of martial artists in action or subtle textures resembling traditional karate uniforms, to reinforce the theme.
- Implemented clean lines and geometric shapes to convey strength, discipline, and precision.
- Used whitespace strategically to enhance readability and draw attention to key elements.
By combining these elements I created a visually compelling and cohesive website design for NWS Karate East Rand that reflects the essence of the brand and resonates with its audience.
