Honouring tradition, driving innovation: A digital shift for the DHS "Oldies" Running Club

The Challenge

The DHS "Oldies" Running Club, a passionate volunteer-driven organisation with a rich history, came to us with a clear goal: to enhance their digital presence in a way that honoured their legacy while engaging a new generation of members, volunteers, and sponsors. The existing website, while functional, didn’t fully capture the club’s heritage or meet the evolving needs of its community. It lacked the modern functionality and personality needed to attract and retain visitors.

The Solution

As a Shopify Web Development Agency, we reimagined the club’s online presence by migrating to Shopify, ensuring a seamless user experience with easy access to key information and a simplified sign-up process.

Guided by feedback from the committee and members, we designed a site that honoured the club’s history while supporting its growth vision. With enhanced navigation, a modern layout, and professional photography, the new site includes an improved sign-up system and integrated payment gateway, offering a smooth membership experience.
