Project: Website development for “Club Bars,” a Taekwondo club focused on teaching children. The project spanned three years, during which the website was built, optimized for SEO, and supported with press releases and event updates.
1. SEO Work and Competitor Analysis
Keyword and Competitor Analysis:
To optimize the site, we performed a thorough competitor analysis of other sports clubs and martial arts schools offering Taekwondo for kids. This identified opportunities and allowed us to select high-potential keywords, including:
- Taekwondo for kids
- Kids’ Taekwondo classes
- Martial arts for children
- Sports clubs for kids
Semantic Core:
Based on the analysis, we compiled a robust semantic core with both general and highly targeted keywords, including frequently searched terms like “class schedules” and “competitions.” This helped attract significant organic traffic to pages detailing the club’s programs and activities.
2. Mapping (Website Structure Development)
Using the semantic core, we designed a user-friendly website structure that improved both user experience and SEO performance.

- Home Page: Welcome message, latest news, and event announcements.

3. Development and Design
Technologies Used:
The site was built on Drupal CMS, utilizing HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL databases for flexibility and scalability. The website was designed to be fully responsive, ensuring an optimal mobile experience.
Design Approach:
The design aimed to create a modern, vibrant, and energetic look that reflected the spirit of the club. Bright, active colors and clean fonts were chosen for readability and engagement, with action shots of kids during training and competitions as key visual elements.
4. Content Creation
Content:
All content was SEO-driven and tailored to attract parents interested in enrolling their children in sports. Unique, keyword-rich text was developed for each page, naturally incorporating relevant phrases to boost the website’s ranking on search engines. Each section was meticulously crafted with clear and organized content.
5. Press Center Maintenance
Support and Updates:
For three years, we maintained the website’s press center, regularly updating it with news about events, competition results, trainer interviews, and student achievements. This section became a vital tool for communicating with parents and building the club’s visibility.
