StrongerU | JaysonSagales

StrongerU is a personalized nutrition coaching service offering 1-on-1 programs, educational resources, access to nutrition coaches, and product merchandising. The site combines content (blogs, coaching stories, resources), subscription or coaching program purchases, apparel & merchandise, and member account functionality. The project involved building a custom WordPress theme for StrongerU, integrating shop/product features, and refining the user interface to reflect the brand’s professional, supportive, and high-quality image.

Integrate Shopify or WooCommerce-style shop functionality (product listings: programs, apparel, accessories) into the WordPress site.
Facilitate user subscriptions / membership / coaching signups along with an account area for managing coaching, tracking progress, and resources.
Enhance navigation, clarity of services (“How it works”, “Coaches”, “Stories”, “Shop”) to reduce friction in customer acquisition.
Ensure mobile compatibility, fast load times, and SEO best practices.
