Pacific Flying Club needed a full website rebuild. Their content had grown over the years, and the old structure made it hard for visitors to find the right information. The site also didn't reflect the scale of their operation or the quality of their training.
I redesigned the entire site from the ground up.
Key goals
Clear user paths for new students, current students, and international applicants
Faster site performance
Modern layout with strong visual hierarchy
Better organization of large amounts of aviation content
Easy updates for staff
What I delivered
New visual layout using a clean grid structure and consistent colour
Full navigation redesign focused on user intent
WordPress built with custom templates for courses, fleet, simulators, and instructor profiles
Reworked home page centred on student experience, credibility, and clarity
High-contrast typography to improve readability
Image optimization and speed improvements
Mobile layout that matches the intent of each page
Integration of blog, news, and announcements to support SEO
Structural improvements
New multi-level menu that separates flight training, program details, fees, and resources
Dedicated pages for aircraft, with photography, specs, and student-friendly descriptions
A reorganized international section to simplify application steps
Rebuilt admissions flow with clear CTAs
Standardized formatting across all pages for a consistent brand feel
Results
Visitors find key information faster
Lower bounce rate due to cleaner content flow
Easier updates for staff since everything uses reusable blocks
Stronger brand presence that matches a respected Canadian flight training school
Why this worked
I focused on clarity over decoration
I reduced friction in every step a prospective student takes
I built the site so their team can maintain it without breaking the layout
I used a visual style that reflects discipline, safety, and professionalism

Membership & Online Forms Development
Alongside the complete redesign, I also built the digital infrastructure PFC needed to manage memberships and online submissions more efficiently.
What I implemented
Designed and developed a streamlined online membership system to replace scattered PDFs and manual processes
Integrated conditional logic so applicants only see fields relevant to their program or training stage
Ensured secure data handling with proper form architecture, SSL enforcement, and spam protection
Connected form submissions to internal workflows, making it easier for staff to manage applications and follow-ups
Created modular form components so the team can duplicate, edit, or expand forms without breaking layout or function
Why it matters
Students and pilots can complete membership steps online without printing documents
Staff save time—every form routes cleanly to the correct department
Processes became traceable and consistent, reducing errors and back-and-forth
The membership experience now matches the professionalism of the overall redesign
This work completed the ecosystem: a modern website, a clear navigation structure, and a membership system that actually supports how the club operates day-to-day.
