I’m excited to share my submission for the Base44 × Contra #GiveItAGlow Challenge!
For this project, I redesigned the website of a real local Ju-Jutsu school, focusing on creating real value for both future members and the business itself.
Rather than changing the club’s identity, I modernized the overall experience while preserving its original branding and recognizable character.
Before
• Confusing navigation
• Information-heavy pages
• No online booking
• Contact form was difficult to find
• No AI assistance
• Difficult for first-time visitors to know where to start
After
• Modern visual redesign while preserving the original branding and identity
• Cleaner information architecture with a much clearer user journey
• Fully responsive experience across desktop and mobile
• Interactive schedule dashboard with filtering by location and training type
• Online trial booking, allowing visitors to register without calling or sending emails
• Clearly accessible contact form instead of hidden contact information
• Bilingual AI Assistant (German & English) that answers FAQs and helps visitors choose the right training
• Faster, simpler, and more intuitive experience for both visitors and the business
The goal wasn’t simply to redesign the website.
It was to create a solution that helps the club welcome new members more efficiently, reduces manual communication, and makes booking a training session as simple as possible.
🎥 Below are the Before & After walkthrough videos.
I really love the "Interactive schedule dashboard with filtering by location and training type" feature, it is now so easy to find out which training opportunity fits someone the best.
Thank you so much! That was actually one of my main goals,to make it much easier for new visitors to quickly find the right training based on their location and interests. I’m really glad you noticed that! 😊
The low-poly scene already has a strong sense of place, and the 60fps browser target makes the interaction feel ambitious in the best way. I especially like how the restrained palette lets the “Explore the Silo” typography lead the experience.
Employee list screens are the homework assignment of SaaS design. A table is a table is a table. Nobody's winning an award for this view and that's exactly why it matters.
The restraint here is the point. No colored tags, no status badges fighting for attention, no dashboard widgets crammed into the sidebar. Just the data, breathing in a dark container with enough row spacing that your eyes don't blur at record five.
That split between a bold brand identity and a restrained product UI is one of the hardest things to get right in B2B SaaS.
"A table is a table" is the harder argument to make internally than the design itself - most teams would've shipped colored status tags just to have something to show in a review.
did some home cleaning - works page is now my homepage
i've lost over 50% of traffic because people dropped off on my previous homepage (about now) that didn't give any value
