UX RESEARCH NOTES

Fewer steps, without losing variety

NuChallenge brings many different activities together in one centre: language classes, fitness, dance, martial arts and aerial disciplines, painting and drawing, tutoring and event spaces. A new visitor may not always ask “which class?” They may ask “what can my child do?” or “which times fit around my work?”

The homepage uses a seven-slide carousel. In the view reviewed, the first slide features the language centre and links directly to the timetable; arrows and controls let visitors browse the other activities. A static overview of all areas alongside the carousel would reveal the full offer without making people wait or scroll through every slide.

The navigation groups activities under Languages, Sports and Other activities. The Sports menu, for example, includes Fitness, Pole dance and aerial hoop, Kickboxing and Dance. This useful hierarchy could be even clearer if each category stated who it is for and linked directly to schedules and details.

The Fitness page organises disciplines by activity type and provides detailed descriptions. This depth helps visitors understand what to expect. For quicker browsing, I would add an opening index, a summary for each class and a timetable link beside every heading.

The Contact page offers the clearest route to action: a Rome East address, phone number, WhatsApp, office hours, a “Book a class” button and a form. I would also make the trial button visible on course pages, so visitors who have chosen an activity do not have to look elsewhere.

The overall introduction could give equal weight to every side of the centre. The homepage opening focuses on fitness and learning, while languages, arts, study support and children’s activities appear further down. An opening summary by area would help visitors recognise the offer that suits them straight away.
