Does My Gym Need a Website?

Good question. In today's competitive fitness industry, every little thing you do makes a difference. A website, however, isn't a "little" thing by any measure. Websites give credence and authority to your organization. For example, do you cater to powerlifters or the casual after-work crowd? Do you want to attract new customers to your aerobics classes? Do you offer personal training? Are you trying to market yourself as an instructor? Do you want to show off your spa? Fitness web design can make this happen and then some.

"We take over your fitness marketing efforts with one goal in mind: To help you succeed in attaining the business and personal goals for your gym. Our St Louis small business and fitness marketing plans are designed from the ground up to get you in front of real potential clients using cost-effective platforms." - David Kley, Owner WDAC

And then some? Yes. A majority of web searches these days are done on mobile by people looking for information. Directions, phone numbers, menus, news, etc. Due to the rise in mobile searching, geo-location has become a major player in search marketing. Our gym website designers optimize your location services so searchers can find you easier and higher up on search results. This is a simplified version of our fitness website design, though many of our St. Louis clients have seen a massive jump in search engine rankings alongside an increase in conversions. For a gym, what could be better?

Web Design Review

The team over at Web Design and Company was nothing short of excellent to work with. They went above and beyond of what we were expecting and also took the time to explain things as we are not in the field. I'm actually already discussing future projects with David w/out having completed the first one. Would highly recommend.
