Michael Cook is a talented, knowledgeable and dedicated personal trainer and powerlifter from my hometown. I’ve known Michael for many years and was excited by the opportunity to make him a website to boost his online presence and offer a place for potential clients to learn everything they need to know about him in a simple easily-digestible one page site. I was involved in the design and development of the site as well as responsible for writing the copy and continue to maintain and manage the site.

Design

For the logo and icons I wanted simple, streamlined images which communicated a clear message. The sturdy font seemed an apt choice for the logo of a personal trainer and so this was paired with a simple barbell created in Adobe Illustrator to frame the text.

Next, a set of icons were made to represent the different services offered, which when hovered over, reveal some information about each of the services. These were also designed using Adobe Illustrator.

Development

Michael’s site is a simple one page HTML site styled in CSS. JQuery was used for to implement smooth scrolling and Bootstrap was used for it’s grid feature and collapsable menu to rapidly create a fully responsive site.
