Eclipse Kickboxing & GJJ
Eclipse Kickboxing and Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a martial arts gym in the centre of Wolverhampton offering adults and childrens classes. Founded in 1989 the club can boast two world champion kickboxing instructors in owner Fran Zuccala and Kyle Williams. In 2012 Eclipse became an official Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy, one of the first in the UK.
In redesigning the Eclipse website, we wanted to provide a site that was consistent with their existing branding and also very visually appealing. We found this balance by using predominantly their existing orange, black and white colour scheme whilst introducing a variety of other colours throughout the site. We also made heavy use of video footage of the gyms classes to help give the browser a sense of the club’s environment and to make them feel familiar with the club before they ever even step through the front door. For many martial arts gyms, a big barrier to getting new members can be that initial fear of the unknown but now browsers on the Eclipse site can see exactly what to expect from the classes provided.
Other prominent features of this site are complex timetables which are filterable by class type, dedicated pages for each coach/instructor, an upcoming events module, image and video galleries, social media integration, a blog, a web store, full integration of existing booking and student education systems and a testimonials facility. The site is also fully responsive and mobile friendly and optimised for SEO purposes.
