Project overview

I helped a growing running club turn its popular Instagram presence into a fully functional membership platform.

The website gave the running club a digital foundation to grow its community, increase engagement, and start partnering with some of the most respected brands in the running world. The website was designed from scratch to showcase the club’s identity while making it easier for members to stay connected. A custom membership platform was implemented, allowing runners to sign up, manage their profiles, and access exclusive content and event info. The structure was built with scalability in mind, ensuring the club could grow its digital presence without limitations.

My approach

To support the club’s growth and goals, the platform was built using WordPress & WooCommerce. This allowed KMC to sell branded merchandise as well as ticketed events for special club occasions. This flexible setup gave them the ability to manage products, orders, and event registrations all in one place. The project also included integration with payment providers, making it easy for the club to securely collect payments and streamline operations. With these tools in place, the club was able to grow its revenue and build a more sustainable future.

The challenge

As the club has continued to grow, I've revisited the website on a yearly basis, constantly looking for areas of improvement for both the club's members and the club itself.

The solution

I completed the project in 4 key stages:

  • Implementing Online Membership - A custom membership platform with monthly and annual subscription options was developed, allowing runners to easily sign up, manage their profiles, and access exclusive content and events. This gave the club a new digital foundation to grow its community.
  • Enhancing Online Visibility & SEO - To support the club's digital growth, the new site was built from the ground up with a focus on SEO best practices. This strategy was designed to elevate the club's online presence, helping it attract new members and become the top running club in the area.
  • Establishing an Online Shop - I implemented a fully integrated online shop using WooCommerce. This flexible platform allows the club to sell branded merchandise and ticketed events in one central place, providing a new source of revenue and simplifying store management.
  • Integrating Secure Payment Providers - To streamline operations, I integrated secure payment providers for all online transactions. This system made it easy for the club to collect payments for memberships and shop orders while ensuring a smooth and reliable checkout experience for all members.
