The ultimate driving experience

Former F1 Driver, Founder and Chief Instructor, Allen Berg. He has an impressive 30+ years of experience at the international level. Allen Berg Racing Schools is a high performance racing school with an impressive 20 instructors, operating in several locations in Canada and the USA.

Our Audience

Race enthusiasts, Students of precision driving, Corporate retreat planners, Thrill seekers, bucket list members and would-be racers.

Our Mission

Our goal with the redesign of ABRS online was to properly communicate the experience and prestige of ABRS and properly align the online representation to that of the real world where the Race School is regarded as one of the premier racing schools in North America.

To support this goal we outlined the following measurable objectives:

  1. Increased site traffic and user session length.
  2. Improved search engine placement.
  3. Increased registrations online for all ABRS programs.

Programming techniques leveraged ajax, html, css and javascript allowing for all text to be searchable, book-marked and accessible. A step-by-step wireframe was developed to communicate program offerings and simplify course booking opportunities. Interface designs leveraged large image areas to showcase photography of the impressive Formula cars and karts available at ABRS. Leaders were used to 'deep-dive' visitors to sections such as Registrations, Gift Certificates and Vehicle Specs.

Website Redesign Advertising Campaign 1 2
"We operate a high performance racing school in several locations in Canada and the USA. In order to reflect the level of products and services that we provide we needed to upgrade our original website into something more professional visually, and easy to navigate. The team at FLIPP created a site that met these objectives and in fact exceeded our expectations."- Allen Berg, Founder Allen Berg Racing Schools

Eye Candy

Race cars have a certain lure to them, by increasing the amount and positioning of the photography used on the site we gave the visitor a reason to hang around, and click their way through the site. Features on the Formula cars and the Karts were included to reveal specifications.

Interactivity

Testimonials section included "Upload Your Experience" to allow students of the school to share their stories from ABRS. The strongest advertising for ABRS comes from the positive words of past customers. This paved the way for more positive stories to be shared.

Newsletter

Proper promotions on the site for the newsletter and its benefits. VIP promotions and deals were promoted for registered users for incentives to join online.

The Result

The site launched in October 2010 and was integral in the company's expansion to the San Francisco market at Thunder Hill Race Park. Overall site traffic is up since the launch and average user sessions times have increased to over 3 minutes. Visit allenbergracingshool.com to see for yourself.
