The problem
The academy had no website of its own: locations, schedules and prices lived on social media and WhatsApp threads, and the same questions kept coming back. The goal was a single, always-current place to point anyone who was interested.
What I built
- Location pages with address, map and schedules by group and level.
- A section for the programs and disciplines taught at the academy.
- Photo and video gallery from classes, gradings and competitions.
- Testimonials from students and families as social proof.
- Direct WhatsApp contact from anywhere on the site.
Technical decisions
Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript
The site is essentially content: locations, schedules and a gallery. A framework would have added a build step, dependencies and maintenance without improving the result. With no extra layer it loads fast and can be updated by editing one file.
WhatsApp as the conversion channel
In Uruguay people ask over WhatsApp, not through contact forms. Instead of fighting that habit, every call to action opens a chat with a message pre-filled based on the section it was opened from.
Mobile first
Almost all traffic arrives from a phone after seeing a story or a flyer, so layout, type sizes and the gallery were designed for small screens first and desktop second.
What I took away
- Working with a real client: gathering what they need, showing progress and adjusting on concrete feedback.
- That content drives technology, and the right call is often the simplest one.
- Shipping and maintaining a live domain in production, with everything that involves beyond the code.
