Project Goal

To build a bilingual, easy-to-manage, WordPress website for the One Team Kampfsport Gym in Reutlingen that reflects their identity, presents their offerings clearly, and helps both current and potential members easily find course plans, contact info, and trial training options.

Ideas

The vision was to craft a website that feels welcoming, professional, and flexible, showcasing what the gym offers while making content updates simple for the staff.

  1. Bilingual Experience

    The site was translated into both German and English so that local and international visitors can understand the content comfortably.

  2. User-Friendly Layout

    Design that allows visitors to easily navigate courses (“Kampfsport”), pricing, team info, gallery, news, and contact/probetraining options.

  3. Easy Content Management

    The client wanted a layout and backend structure that non-technical staff could update (classes, schedules, news) without needing deep technical skills.

  4. Membership & Engagement

    Emphasis on “Probetraining” (trial training), highlighting how someone can try before signing up, with clear calls to action.

The idea was not just to build a gym website, but to make it a home base online - a place where information is clear, the brand feels strong, and the gym’s community shines.

Project Planning

We laid out a plan to ensure all client requirements (layout, bilingual content, user management) were covered in a smooth, phased process.

  1. Gather client requirements: layout preferences, languages, content structure.
  2. Wireframe navigation and page prototypes (Home, Courses, Pricing, Team, Contact, News).
  3. Select WordPress theme/framework that supports multilingual content.
  4. Define translation workflow and content delivery for both languages.
  5. Plan responsive design across desktop and mobile.

This planning phase helped us align with One Team’s brand identity and made sure the website launch would be timely, without sacrificing quality.

Workflow

We used a structured process to design, develop, and launch.

We started with discovery - meeting with the gym management to understand their branding, ideal website layout, content flow and audience needs. Then we created wireframes for both desktop and mobile, mapped multilingual content, and got client sign-off. Development proceeded on WordPress, customizing theme layouts, creating menu structures, setting up multilingual plugin/configuration, integrating course schedules, gallery, news sections, contact & trial registration, and ensuring design consistency. After development, we carried out testing across browsers and devices, then deployed the website and trained the client on content management (how to update classes, upload images, switch between languages). Finally, post-launch adjustments were made based on client feedback.

Challenges

Building a gym website with bilingual content and clean user experience came with some specific hurdles.

Language Accuracy & Consistency
Ensuring that translations (German ↔ English) were accurate, context-appropriate, and consistent in tone.

Design and Layout Flexibility
The gym needed various content types—course categories, schedules, galleries, news—and needed a layout that could handle all, yet remain clean and navigable.

Backend Usability
Non-technical staff should be able to update content (schedules, news, pricing) easily without breaking the layout or site functionality.

Mobile Responsiveness
Ensuring that all menus, galleries, schedule grids, buttons, trial-registration links worked smoothly on mobile screens as well as desktop.

By addressing these challenges, we delivered a site that looks professional, works well in both languages, and is easy to maintain by the client.

The Solutions

We provided solutions that met their needs for bilingual content, usability, and design clarity.

  1. WordPress with Multilingual Setup

    We used WordPress with a translation plugin (or built-in multilingual support) so pages/content are available in both German and English.

  2. Custom Layout & Templates

    Custom theme/template work to ensure the gym’s pages (home, classes, team, pricing, gallery) followed a coherent brand style, with layout modules the client can reuse.

  3. Course & Schedule Display

    Clear presentation of course plans (“Kursplan”), class types (Boxing, Kickboxing, Kinder, Jugend, etc.), easy navigation for discovering what training is available.

  4. Gallery & News Sections

    To help the gym showcase their team, events, and community, with images and updates that keep the site fresh.

  5. Trial Registration & Contact Calls-to-Action

    Prominent trial-training (“Probetraining”) section so new users can easily apply, plus contact info, pricing and membership info clearly displayed.

Together, these solutions gave One Team a website that communicates their offerings well, looks good, and can be managed without heavy technical effort.

Our Approach

To deliver a website that meets client expectations, we followed a structured and collaborative approach.

  1. Client-Centered Discovery

    We spent time understanding One Team’s identity, design preferences, and technical needs, ensuring the layout reflected their brand.

  2. Iterative Design Process

    Wireframes and prototypes were shared at every stage, allowing the client to visualize and refine the website before final development.

  3. Agile Development

    By working in focused sprints, we ensured quick progress, transparent communication, and flexibility to implement client feedback efficiently.

Used Technologies

We chose a stack focused on stability, ease of content updates, and multilingual support.

WordPress

PHP

css

CMS / Platform: WordPress

Theme / Layout: Custom theme or child theme configured to allow layout flexibility and reusable content blocks
Language Support: Multilingual plugin or built-in systems (e.g. WPML, Polylang or similar)
Frontend: Responsive design techniques, CSS (maybe a framework or custom CSS) to ensure clean look on desktop/mobile
Hosting / Performance: Secure hosting and optimization so pages load well; image optimization for galleries.

Project Results

The website launch achieved clear improvements for One Team’s online presence and usability.

  • Clear bilingual website in German & English, expanding reach.
  • Improved user experience on both web and mobile browsers.
  • Easier content management for the gym staff, reducing dependency on developers.
  • Strong visual presentation of courses, teams, schedules, membership options.
  • Positive feedback from users (members & trial visitors) on clarity and professionalism.

Project Maintenance

We continue to assist with content updates (schedules, news, galleries), plugin and theme updates, translations adjustments if needed, performance optimizations (image size, loading speed), and ensuring everything (navigation, contact forms, trial-registration) remains functional across devices. This ensures the site remains relevant, up-to-date, and effective in engaging both current and prospective members.
