Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy wanted a website that reflected their brand and enabled them to offer dance classes online. They also wanted to ensure that their dance academy could be easily found on Google when people searched for keywords like “dance classes in Galway” and “dance classes in Connacht.” To achieve this, they applied for the Trading Online Voucher, which funded 50% of their project costs.
Creating a User-Friendly Experience
The old website did not adequately represent the dance academy’s quality of service and brand image. Our team redesigned the website to align it with Genevieve’s vision and create a user-friendly experience for visitors. We added a built-in booking system that allows people to book and pay for classes online with ease, giving the website a unique personality that went beyond the typical dance class website template.

“The Roadmap developed our website for an environmental programme for primary schools and I am very happy with the relationship we have developed over about 4 years now. They have worked well with our design team and “get ” what we were trying to do and convey to teachers, parents, kids and supporters. We have received two TOV vouchers from our local authority now and they have provided the documentation we needed and helped us through the process. This was my first time working with a developer and the team have been patient. The result is a website that does exactly what we need and have had good feedback on. Only just this morning I was told it looked very professional. On the small number of occasions there have been crossed wires, they have immediately sorted it out and have been very quick to respond when we needed stuff uploaded or modified at unreasonably short notice.”
