We’re so proud to have teamed up with the Eastern Shotokan Karate Association (ESKA) to revamp their website into something as sharp and precise as their karate skills. Based in Norwich, ESKA has been the go-to karate club in East England since 1995, and its website must reflect that same excellence. The challenge? A site that attracted new members and worked smoothly for the club’s existing karateka.
Here’s how we transformed their digital dojo.
When ESKA approached us, their old site was holding them back. Slow loading times were driving visitors away faster than a well-timed front kick. And don’t get us started on the confusing layout—finding class schedules or instructor info was like navigating a maze. Plus, the site didn’t play nice on mobile devices, and there were constant issues with broken links and hosting reliability. Not a great look for such a prestigious karate club.
We rolled up our sleeves and tackled the project head-on. Here’s what we focused on:
We optimised the site to hit a 95% Google Page Speed score. No more slow-loading frustrations—just swift, seamless browsing.
The design got a complete overhaul. We made it sleek, clean, and aligned with ESKA’s branding. Everything’s easy to find now, with clear menus and calls to action.
Knowing how many users access sites on the go, we ensured the new site worked perfectly on any device—big, small, and everything in between.
We upgraded hosting, streamlined functionality, and eliminated the bugs. It’s like we gave the website its black belt in reliability.
ESKA can update the site easily without worrying about messing up the design. That means they’re in control, and it stays looking great.
The new site wasn’t just about fixing problems—it was about adding features that truly stand out:
Moving portraits of the instructors add a dynamic, personal touch.
Seamless integration for members-only content keeps the dojo’s community connected.
Every part of the site reflects the discipline, respect, and strength that Shotokan karate embodies.
“Revamping our website with this incredible team has been a game-changer for ESKA. Their commitment to understanding our needs and goals was evident from the outset. Our site is now faster and more reliable than ever.
