Project Overview

Wellesley Martial Arts Center needed a new website after losing access to their old Shopify site. All original content was locked, but the goal was to rebuild the site using existing messaging, modernize the design, and improve visibility in local search results.

Challenges

The client wanted a new website, but all content lived on an old Shopify site they could no longer access. There were no backups, exports, or admin credentials available.

The Problem

Rebuilding the site without access to the original content risked losing important program details, SEO value, and messaging that already worked for the business.

Objectives

  • Recreate the website using the original content

  • Improve structure, clarity, and user experience

  • Apply CRO best practices to increase inquiries and sign-ups

  • Add online checkout for programs

  • Improve local search visibility with basic SEO

The Process

Using the Wayback Machine, I recovered the original pages, copy, and program details. From there, the site was rebuilt with a clean, modern design and a stronger content hierarchy.

Once the redesign was complete, I applied basic on-page SEO to help the site perform better in local searches.

Steps Taken:

  • Recovered original content using the Wayback Machine

  • Redesigned the website with a modern, conversion-focused layout

  • Created a clear hero section with strong calls to action

  • Structured programs for easy scanning and understanding

  • Added testimonials to build trust

  • Integrated WooCommerce for online program checkout

  • Optimized page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and internal links

  • Applied local SEO fundamentals to target relevant local keywords

  •  

Results

The new website is clean, modern, and built to convert. Visitors can easily understand the programs and take action, whether that’s signing up or purchasing online.

In addition to the design improvements, the site now ranks on page one for several local keyword-related searches, helping increase visibility and organic traffic in the area.

The client was extremely happy with the final result.
