Migrate off Shopify to a fitness-appropriate platform — Shopify charges e-commerce rates for a site that sells nothing online — a custom-built platform with integrated booking and member management would serve the business better and likely cost less.
| Criterion | Score | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Visual Quality | 8 | Professionally designed by Good Sauce studio — clean, modern aesthetic with premium photography that matches The Vault's positioning as a high-end training facility. |
| Mobile Responsiveness | 7 | Responsive layout is well-executed with clear navigation and service cards that stack cleanly on mobile devices. |
| Page Speed (estimated) | 6 | Shopify CDN handles asset delivery, though the platform adds e-commerce overhead that a gym site doesn't need, slightly bloating page weight. |
| CTA Clarity | 5 | 'Start Training' and 'Book a Class' CTAs are prominent but route to pages without a functional booking calendar — the conversion path stalls at the point of commitment. |
| SEO & Discoverability | 5 | Limited content depth beyond service pages; no blog or training content despite the team's combined 30 years of expertise that could drive organic traffic. |
This audit was put together by JD CoreDev — a boutique software consultancy building custom CRM systems, booking platforms, and digital infrastructure for growing businesses across Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.
