What we did
Website Development

Objectives
Fortitude came to Brandwell as a brand-new company, with a logo in hand and a range of high-grade training and competitive outfits along with some training provision accessories to sell to a growing marketplace for competitive BJJ trainers and fighters and lifestyle fitness enthusiasts. The aim was to use an online store, along with P.O.S for a few dedicated gym and training centre locations, we were asked to provide;
A CMS based responsive eCommerce website.
User-friendly navigation and content layout that enhanced customer experience and trust.
To improve on page SEO performance and establish sound SEO foundations for customer experience and site validity.
Approach
Discovery interviews were focussed primarily on understanding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the audience, the value Fortitudes Specialist Clothing, Uniforms and Apparel brought to competitors and participants around the world.
Particular attention was paid to Who would be using the site and Why, simple. Offsite targeted marketing and sponsorships would be key drivers of traffic to the site, and we needed to support that with a clear and concise digital stream of traffic, all the users know why they are on the site, so it needed to be clear, easy, secure and very quick.
Outcome
From day one of the formal website launch it has served its audience clearly and effectively. Fortitude is a continually growing brand in the Martial Arts space and those particularly focussed on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have found both the products and the associated website to be top quality and have particularly commented on the simplicity, clarity and speed of the website and the ordering process.
