The Design

The design leverages the range of blues featured in the WAVES logo, creating a fresh and cohesive visual identity. To complement this, we introduced vibrant accent colours that clearly differentiate the various fitness classes and programs, making it easy for users to navigate offerings at a glance. The overall aesthetic is clean and contemporary, with a strong focus on usability and visual appeal.

PerfectMind Integration

One of the standout features of the WAVES website is its integration with PerfectMind’s API, which enables real-time updates for fitness classes and pool lane availability. From the homepage, users can browse the next week’s worth of fitness classes in a colourful, interactive display. Clicking on a class reveals key details such as the number of spots remaining, any special requirements, and future dates for the same activity.

In addition to fitness classes, the site allows users to check pool lane availability directly from the homepage, filtering by morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. Availability data is displayed in a simple, easy-to-read table format, ensuring visitors can plan their swim sessions with confidence.

The Development

The WAVES site was built to deliver a seamless experience from the very first click. The homepage opens with a full-width image rotator that captures the energy of the centre, paired with a prominent search bar that allows users to quickly find timetables, classes, events, and more. Below this, a quick links navigation provides instant access to essential information, followed by a carousel showcasing the centre’s diverse programs, including on-site physiologists, adult swim schools, splash pad attractions, birthday party packages, and more.

Membership options are clearly displayed on the homepage in a simple, easy-to-read format, outlining pricing and inclusions for fitness, aquatic, and pool-only memberships. This clarity helps prospective members make informed decisions without navigating multiple pages.
