Problem

    Virtue Movement’s previous website no longer reflected the energy or structure of the club.

    • The design felt outdated and didn’t align with the brand
    • Pages were slow to load, especially on mobile
    • The booking journey was unclear and unintuitive
    • The CMS was difficult for staff to manage and update


    They needed a rebuild that delivered speed, clarity, and a user journey that worked for busy parents, young members, and the internal team.
     

Solution

    We rebuilt the site from scratch using Node.js and Strapi.

    • Introduced a fresh design system to reflect their brand and audience
    • Simplified navigation and booking flows
    • Optimised performance across mobile and desktop
    • Replaced the old CMS with Strapi for flexible, code-free content editing
    • Built a modular site structure that allows for future feature growth

The Results

    • +10% YoY increase in revenue
    • Strong lift in organic search visibility across core product pages
    • Faster quote journeys with higher completion rates
    • A scalable CMS and analytics setup for continuous optimisation
    • A long-term partnership, with ongoing testing, hosting, and performance tuning
