Previous Design

The previous website felt outdated and static, with muted colors, weak hierarchy, and a generic presentation that failed to reflect the academy’s prestige or inspire trust. It lacked key sections such as Team, Facilities, and Blog, which limited credibility and emotional connection with users. Overall, it did not convey the professionalism or excellence of Hernán Rey Golf Academy.

The Revamped Experience

The redesigned website delivers a modern and inspiring experience with a fresh green palette, dynamic visuals, and a clear structure that builds trust and engagement. It highlights each program with dedicated pages, adds testimonials, press mentions, and showcases the team and high-performance facilities. The addition of a blog and an optimized contact page strengthen credibility, community connection, and SEO performance.

Key Features & 
Improvements Implemented

The redesign of Hernán Rey Golf Academy focused on delivering a modern, professional, and aspirational digital experience aligned with the academy’s prestige. By restructuring navigation, refreshing the visual identity, and highlighting programs, coaches, and facilities, the platform now inspires greater trust and credibility among families, players, and institutions. Key features include:

Simplified Navigation

Clearer structure and dedicated pages for each program (Full Time, Summer Camp, Short Time, Total Coaching) make it easy for users to explore offerings and understand benefits.

Trust-Building Content

Testimonials from professional golfers, press mentions, and ESPN-level coaches reinforce credibility and the academy’s global recognition.

Professional Visual Identity

A modern design system with a vibrant green palette reflects excellence, energy, and growth, elevating the academy’s online presence.

SEO & Blog Integration

A new blog section shares articles, tips, and insights, improving visibility on search engines and strengthening engagement with the golf community.

We analyzed the old website, defined user personas, and created a high-fidelity prototype to validate navigation and structure. The result: a platform that feels aspirational, credible, user-friendly, and engaging.

User Flows

Navigation was restructured for clarity and ease. Dedicated pages and new sections—like Programs, Team, and Testimonials—enhanced transparency, credibility, and SEO performance.

Visual Design

A modern, professional design system with a fresh green palette improved hierarchy, readability, and accessibility, reflecting Hernán Rey’s prestige and international recognition.
