Strandhill Surf School
Strandhill Surf School was established in 2006 and quickly became one of the leading surf schools in Ireland due to its reputation for quality service and professional, enthusiastic instructors. Owner and operator David Mulcahy has grown up surfing in Strandhill and has vast knowledge of the local surf breaks and conditions.
The Brief
Following the change of the ownership and an overall brand overhaul, a website revamp was naturally a next step for Strandhill Surf School - a long standing client of Dmac Media. The new website would be designed to reflect the fresh branding and new logo, and showcase some of the fantastic photographs provided by the client. We would keep the vital functionality e.g. payment and booking form while making it much easier to use and follow modern trends.
What We Did
Dmac Media have designed a modern Dmac CMS v4 platform. The overall look was heavily inspired by the client’s new logo. We had some fun with the button rollover effects that imitate the Strandhill waves. A number of pages have been created in house featuring custom designed banners using client’s photographs. We have broken down the client’s service offering and made sure the new homepage, as well as the landing pages, break down the information making it easier to navigate. We’ve also added prominent calls to action making the class booking, and very popular live cam much easier to access. Aside from a 3rd party live cam integration, the new website showcases a number of forms that allow visitors to book a surf lesson or a camp, purchase a gift voucher, as well as a group and contact enquiry form. We’ve decided to also feature some of the client's fantastic testimonials. The overall result is a playful and modern website that will hopefully make joining a surf tribe a breeze!
