My Role: I was the sole WordPress website designer, developer, and graphic designer for the Merritt Island Karate website. I designed all site elements, including typography, graphics, and colors, to align with Merritt Island Karate's branding.

Project Description: I developed Merritt Island Karate's digital presence, bringing the owner's vision to life through a dynamic WordPress e-commerce platform. This website serves as a powerful promotional tool for their dojo, showcasing their offerings and providing updates on special events and training sessions. Seamlessly integrated payment gateways facilitate online transactions for products and membership fees. With a design ethos inspired by Asian aesthetics and martial arts, the site embodies strength and tradition while prominently featuring their esteemed high-ranking students.

Client Relationship: Merrit Island Karate has been a long-term client, and I have maintained and updated their website for over five years.

Challenge: Create a website for a karate dojo within a budget that captures the essence of the dojo's image. The website should facilitate online payments and provide the owner with the ability to adjust prices, publish blogs, and inform students about upcoming events.

Solution: Utilize the WordPress CMS platform to enable easy updates on the client's side. Given the budget constraints, I opted for a WordPress theme that I could easily customize to align with their design needs.
