Website design and development

Creating a website that works for everybody

Everybody Health & Leisure has been operating as an independent charity for 12 years. Over the years the leisure trust has expanded to employ over 1100 people in Cheshire East. Across 18 sites the organisation offers top quality gym and leisure centre facilities, health programmes, sports programmes, and services for people of all ages and abilities.

The goal

Everybody wanted a website that better reflected its the organisation, its services and its community impact. With a wide range of activities, memberships and facilities available across multiple centres, the key objectives were clear:

  • Make it easier for users to find the information they need
  • Increase awareness of the breadth of services and activities on offer
  • Create a stronger, more recognisable visual identity online
  • Improve communication, making it simple for customers to get in touch when they need support

The challenge was bringing all of this together in a website that delivered a seamless experience for customers while remaining easy for the internal team to manage and update.

Our Solution

Working closely with the team, we designed and developed a completely new website that balances functionality, usability and brand consistency.

The project included the creation of more than 600 pages, timetable integrations, an improved membership sign-up process and a refreshed design that better reflects the organisation and its services.

We also built a custom flexible colour-switching feature, allowing different sections of the website to align with their own sub-brands. This ensures a consistent experience for the user, but also eases the development of pages with varying colours for the team.

Regular collaboration throughout the project ensured every aspect of the website continued to evolve in line with the team’s goals.

Here's what Everybody Health & Leisure had to say about working with us.

‘We decided to work with Bigwave on this project because of their outstanding credentials in the leisure industry. We wanted to work with a partner who truly understood our charity, our customers and service users and what we needed to achieve with our new website. We have been consistently impressed with the quality of the work and the creative solutions that Bigwave have brought to us on this project. The new website is so easy to use and looks fantastic. It has also improved the integration with third party platform providers. We are confident that this new site will really support us in our mission to help the residents of Cheshire East live well and for longer.’

Supporting Everybody with BigBundle

Alongside the website redevelopment, we implemented a range of our BigBundle tools, giving the Everybody Health & Leisure team a centralised area for managing key information across the website.

This means important updates can be made quickly and efficiently, without the need to edit content across multiple pages.

The BigBundle modules we used include:

Together, these tools help reduce administration time and give the team greater control over their website content.

The Results

The result is a modern, fully integrated website that supports both customers and staff.

Users can now access information, browse timetables, book activities, and sign up to memberships through a much smoother online journey. Behind the scenes, the team benefits from a website that’s easier to manage, thanks to flexible templates and a user-friendly content management system.

Most importantly, Everybody Health & Leisure now has a digital platform that reflects the scale of its the organisation and provides a strong foundation for future growth.
