What a client said

“You were so easy, so fast.”

The website looks amazing. It’s working great on mobile. The indexing cleaned everything up.

Hey Richard, it’s Janine from Kimball Studio, and I just wanted to thank you because once again working with you was such a pleasure. You were so easy, so fast. The website looks amazing. It’s working great on mobile. The indexing cleaned everything up, and I think we’ve gotten like double the number of inquiries this month than we had gotten. So, I really thank you, and I’m looking forward to working with you again on something else.

The problem

The studio needed a members area its actors could use, and later a website that explained its classes, teachers and pricing clearly without losing visitors who arrive through old links.

What I built

Members portal

Built on an existing Airtable database. Members see their upcoming classes, book makeups and open a learning library.

Redesigned pages on Wix

Home, about with expandable teacher bios and source links, intensives and rentals under a new header and footer.

Redirects

Retired pages forward to the right new page and old links keep working.

Class purchase buttons

Connected, with the whole site checked on mobile.

How it works

01
A visitor arrives from search or an old link.
02
They land on the right current page.
03
They read the classes and teacher bios.
04
They buy a class or get in touch.

Screens

The result

Launched on the studio's live site after review by the client on desktop and mobile. The co-founder says it works well on mobile and that inquiries are up since launch.
