This project involved working alongside the yoga instructor and a designer to create a new website from scratch. The designer created the new logo and held a number of photoshoots with the instructor and members of his class to provide the images for use on the site.
Multiple designs/ideas were looked at and then the site was built out using a custom WordPress theme in a local environment before moving to the live server.
The custom theme as well as custom plugin (which provided multiple post types) provided the platform to perfectly match the design and provide a clean and fast loading website.
Key Features
- Image based design, especially the striking images on the home page to showcase the power and strength, but also the calm and gentleness of yoga.

- Testimonials custom post type to gather testimonials/reviews and showcase them as a slider on the homepage.
