Case Study: How a Cyprus Youth Football Club Doubled Leads with a New Website
In the competitive world of youth sports, trust and transparency are everything—especially when it comes to parents entrusting their children to a club.
One of our clients, Personal Youth Football Club (PYFC), is passionate about developing young talent. They needed a way to showcase their values, their coaching, and their facilities, but their old online presence wasn’t cutting it.
That’s where websitedesign.cy stepped in. Our goal was clear: build a professional, portfolio-style website that would not only inform parents but actively build trust and double the club’s leads.
The Challenge: Building Trust & Showcasing Value Online
PYFC faced common challenges for many Cyprus businesses relying on word-of-mouth:
- No Central “Portfolio”: The club had great coaches, modern facilities, and a clear training philosophy, but this information was scattered across social media posts or shared in private messages.
- Losing Leads: When new parents enquired, the club would send them a link to their old, basic site. It didn’t look professional and failed to build the instant trust needed to convert an enquiry into a registration.
- Wasted Time: The coaches were spending hours answering the same basic questions via phone and messages: “What are the training times?”, “What are the age groups?”, “What is your methodology?”
The Solution: A Professional “Portfolio” Website
We didn’t just build them a “website.” We built them a lead-generation tool designed to do three specific jobs for their football academy.
1. Built for Trust (The Parent “Portfolio”)
Parents need to feel secure. The new website acts as a professional portfolio that immediately shows them PYFC is a serious, high-quality academy. We prominently featured:
- High-quality photo galleries of the facilities, training sessions, and happy kids.
- A professional “About Us” page with the club’s mission and values.
- Detailed coach profiles so parents could see who was training their children.
2. Built for Leads (Clear Information & Easy Contact)
We completely re-structured the site to answer every parent’s questions.
- We created dedicated pages for each service and training program (e.g., “U10 Team,” “Personal Training,” “Goalkeeper Sessions”).
- We added a clear training schedule and age group breakdown.
- We placed highly visible “Register Now” buttons and simple contact forms on every single page, making it effortless for a parent to take the next step.
The Results: Leads Doubled and Trust Secured
By shifting their website from a simple “flyer” to a professional “portfolio,” Personal Youth Football Club saw incredible results within the first few months.
- 100% Increase in Qualified Leads: The club reported that their online enquiries from new parents doubled.
- Higher Trust & Faster Signups: Parents were no longer just “enquiring.” They were “sold.” They would call and say, “I’ve seen the website, I’ve read about the coaches, I’m ready to sign my son up.”
- Time Saved: The new, clear layout answered 90% of the common questions, freeing up the coaching staff to focus on football instead of admin.
