Project Overview
The Client
Jake Swindal is a construction project executive turned endurance athlete and strength coach. After experiencing overtraining injuries himself, Jake saw a major gap in the fitness world—runners and cyclists were underutilising strength training. Swind Altraining was born from this insight, blending real-world experience, personal grit, and expert programming to help athletes train smarter and perform better.
The Challenge
Jake needed a brand identity and digital platform that matched the energy, grit, and purpose of his message. His offer—online coaching, training programmes, and a membership community—needed to feel credible to experienced endurance athletes while still being approachable to newcomers. The site had to convert, the visuals had to inspire, and the tech had to be manageable.
Our Approach
Visuable Packages
To bring Swind Altraining to life, we delivered:
What We Delivered
Brand Identity – A strong, sporty brand with bold typography, dynamic lines, and a red/black/white palette. The logo system reflects momentum, with custom initials that hint at strength and precision.
Scroll Website – An immersive homepage layout that flows like a story. Built to guide visitors through Jake’s philosophy, services, client testimonials, and lead them to convert.
Service Highlight Sections – We showcased three coaching offers (SWIND Program, Personalised ALT, and Endure Event Prep) in dynamic panels with clear descriptions and CTAs.
Mighty Networks Platform – Set up a private, community-led space for clients to engage, access content, and build connections. Designed with future growth in mind.
Content Structure – Strategic content layout, including a testimonial block, blog preview, and media integrations (YouTube, events) to add credibility and keep the site dynamic.
Photographic Direction – Selected and framed Jake’s brand photography for maximum impact—sweat, grit, joy, and scenery that mirrors the outdoor athlete lifestyle.
The Results
UX & UI Design Outcomes
Athlete-led brand visuals: The high-contrast colours and aggressive lines speak directly to runners, bikers, and high performers.
Conversion-ready scroll experience: Every section leads naturally into the next, guiding users from awareness to sign-up.
Niche-tailored coaching packages: Three clearly named, well-explained programs remove friction in decision-making.
Community-focused platform: Mighty Networks gives Jake a branded digital home for training clients, posting updates, and growing a tribe.
Creative Execution
Impact and Creativity
The brand identity strikes a bold tone—confident, gritty, and dynamic. The logo fuses a custom “SA” monogram with sharp edges and a forward-slanted cut, symbolising forward motion and discipline. The red slash becomes a motif throughout the design system—used to divide content, highlight sections, and echo the performance-first mentality.
The palette of black, white, and red brings urgency and energy. It’s high contrast, high stakes—mirroring the inner grit of the athletes Jake trains. Typography is strong, condensed, and consistent across headings and CTAs, ensuring clarity and cohesion.
Photography direction plays a huge role—showcasing Jake in action, clients mid-rep, and close-ups of gear, dirt, and sweat. This isn’t gym-polished perfection—it’s real training, outdoors, hard-earned.
Functionality and User Experience
The site architecture is built for fast action. From the hero line—“Work Now, Perform Later”—visitors are hooked. Each scroll leads into clear, structured offers. The Services section features animated panels with key benefits, pricing, and links to start. A testimonial block adds credibility, while the blog and YouTube previews show this isn’t just a service—it’s a movement.
Every section is responsive, fast-loading, and easy to navigate. The entire design was tested across mobile, tablet, and desktop to ensure high performance.
The Mighty Networks setup ensures community members have a seamless login experience. From there, Jake can post content, host chats, and add value between check-ins—all without needing to juggle multiple tools.
Branding and Storytelling
Jake’s personal journey sits at the core of Swind Altraining—and the brand identity was crafted to reflect that. The custom “SA” monogram is sharp and forward-slanted, projecting momentum, strength, and discipline. The recurring red slash symbolises breakthrough—cutting through excuses, pushing forward, and embracing the challenge.
The colour palette—black, asphalt grey, deep red, and white—amplifies the intensity. It speaks directly to serious athletes who train outdoors and need their tools to work as hard as they do. The typography system reinforces this clarity and confidence: bold, athletic type for headlines, paired with clean, readable body fonts for ease across screens.
Jake’s About section isn't just a background story—it’s a manifesto. Positioned directly after services, it connects his lived experience to the coaching offer. Programme names like SWIND, ALT, and ENDURE aren’t just labels—they reflect values: commitment, adaptation, and long-term performance.
Execution and Design Excellence
Swind Altraining is more than a brand—it’s a high-impact digital experience designed to convert. From the opening hero line to the final CTA, the one-page scroll site flows with intention. Each section builds momentum, guiding users from understanding Jake’s philosophy to exploring his programmes and joining the community.
The design is structured for clarity, speed, and trust. Content blocks animate in rhythm with the scroll, drawing attention to services, testimonials, and social proof. Blog and YouTube integrations ensure the site stays active and credible, while the mobile-first structure means users can sign up, learn, or connect seamlessly from any device.
Behind the scenes, the Mighty Networks setup creates a private coaching ecosystem—one Jake can grow, manage, and personalise over time. It’s scalable, simple, and deeply aligned with how his clients train: with structure, accountability, and a strong sense of purpose.
Summary
Swind Altraining now stands as a bold, functional, and authentic brand built to serve a growing niche of endurance athletes who want more from their training. With a striking identity, a scroll website, and a thriving Mighty Networks community, Jake has everything he needs to grow his mission—and help others build strength, resilience, and results that last.
