ToneLAB Proposal
Studio Loock — Creative Agency
Website Redesign Proposal

For ToneLAB

A minimal, black and white facelift for a studio that already does seven locations and three disciplines well. Now it should look like it.

Prepared for Jordan Nisbet 1 September 2026 Valid until 15 September 2026

Overview

Let's get started

Hi Jordan, thank you for trusting us with the full rebuild. ToneLAB already has the hard part sorted: seven studios, three genuinely different disciplines, and a loyal member base who show up week after week. What the current site doesn't do yet is look like the premium, considered studio you've actually built.

This document walks you through exactly how we'd give tonelabs.com.au that facelift: one confident black and white system, keeping Reformer, Performance and Training's colours but pulling them right back to small, considered accents instead of three competing looks, plus the full sitemap, the investment, and what working together looks like from here.

None of this is starting from scratch, either. It's built on the trust we've put into ToneLAB together over the years, and we're genuinely excited to create something this good with you.

— Inge Loock, Creative Director at Studio Loock

The Objective

The studio shouldn't need to shout to be taken seriously.

That's the whole brief. Reformer, Performance and Training are three real disciplines, not three marketing gimmicks, and right now the site treats them like three different small businesses fighting for attention. Our objective is one confident, minimal system in black and white, keeping Reformer, Performance and Training's colours, just pulled right back so they read as small, considered accents instead of doing all the talking.

Newcastle · Lake Macquarie · Seven Studios
Where This Build Takes You

Three disciplines. One confident brand.

Currently

  • The repeated "REFORMER. TRAINING. PERFORMANCE." hero treatment and placeholder graphics read like a mid-size gym, not the premium studio you've built
  • Reformer, Performance and Training each feel like a separate, competing identity rather than one confident brand
  • Testimonials sit as a static list with no way to filter by studio or discipline
  • The seven-studio locator is basic: hard to find the closest class and book it in the same breath
  • The app and booking CTAs are buried instead of sitting at the point someone's ready to convert

With Studio Loock

  • One considered black and white system, with your three colours pulled right back to small, deliberate accents instead of competing palettes
  • Reformer, Performance and Training still each keep their own colour, just used minimally enough to feel premium instead of loud
  • Testimonials rebuilt as a dynamic, filterable system by studio and discipline
  • A locator built around real intent: nearest studio, live timetable, straight into a booking
  • App download and class booking promoted clearly at the exact moment someone's ready to join
Who You'd Be Working With

Studio Loock

Studio Loock is a creative agency built around three connected disciplines: branding, websites and SEO. A business rarely has a problem in just one of them. We're led personally by Inge Loock, working directly with a small team of trusted specialists rather than handing your project off to strangers.

We think about the whole ecosystem: brand gives a business its identity, the website turns that identity into an experience, and SEO makes sure the right people actually find it. For ToneLAB, that means one visual system across three divisions and seven studios, not three separate identities competing for attention.

Selected Work

Brand, website & beyond: Loyal Crush

One example of the level of craft your project will receive: Studio Loock delivered Loyal Crush, a cruelty-free beauty brand, end to end: brand identity, website and a templated social content system their own team could run. This is the same full-service thinking we've already been bringing to ToneLAB, just with a proper design system behind it this time.

Getting Started

Visual Identity Refinement

$2,400 AUD + GST

Your name and mark stay exactly as they are. This is a refinement, not a rebuild: taking what ToneLAB already is and giving it a system disciplined enough to feel premium in black and white, with Reformer, Performance and Training's colours kept, just pulled right back to small, considered accents.

Estimated Timeline

2–3 weeks, run alongside the website build

Visual audit across all three divisions

A honest look at where Reformer, Performance and Training currently pull in different directions.

Monochrome system, colours minimised

A black and white foundation with Reformer, Performance and Training's existing colours pulled right back to small, deliberate accents, confirmed together in the strategy session.

Typography system refresh

One confident display face plus a clean supporting sans, replacing the current mixed treatment.

Photography & imagery direction

Treatment guidance (crop, contrast, grade) so existing and future studio photography reads as one premium set.

Iconography & graphic devices

A shared visual language for class types, timetables and division tags across the site.

Style guide + 2 revision rounds

So the new look stays consistent across seven studios and every future landing page.

Optional Add-on

New Studio & Campaign Photography

A styled photography session across your studios (or a curated edit of existing shots) graded to match the new monochrome-plus-accent system, so launch day doesn't rely on the current mixed bag of imagery.

Why This Direction

Studio, not gym

Most fitness marketing shouts: primary colours, countdown timers, a wall of stock energy shots. ToneLAB's actual member experience (small studios, three real disciplines, people who show up for years) is closer to a premium boutique than a big-box gym, and the site should say so before anyone reads a word of copy. Black and white does the heavy lifting; your three colours stay, just reduced to a small accent each, marking a CTA or a highlight, never a whole page or a whole section.

The Brand Would Say

"Three disciplines. One studio."

"Built for people who keep showing up."

The Brand Would Never Say

"48-Hour Flash Sale, Ends Tonight!"

"Shred fast, no excuses."

The Website Build

The same site, finally looking like you

Homepage Architecture

  • New hero, retiring the repeated "Reformer. Training. Performance." text treatment for the new monochrome system
  • Clear entry points into all three divisions, told through the shared visual language, not three separate looks
  • Rebuilt, filterable testimonials by studio and discipline
  • CTAs: Find Your Studio · Book a Class · Download the App

Reformer, Performance & Training

  • One shared template per division, with typography and photography doing most of the differentiating and each division's colour reduced to a small, deliberate accent
  • Class-type breakdowns and timetables per discipline
  • Existing Instagram content (@tonelab.reformer, .training, .performance) surfaced in the new visual language

Locations & Locator

  • One templated location page used across all seven studios (address, timetable, division availability, directions)
  • Interactive locator, filterable by area (Newcastle / Lake Macquarie) and by division
  • Built around real intent: nearest studio, live timetable, straight into a booking

Technical Foundation

  • Mobile-responsive across every device
  • Existing indexed pages and URLs carried over so current rankings aren't lost in the rebuild
  • SSL security, backups & speed optimisation
  • Analytics connected from day one

Membership, App & Booking

About, Membership & Join Us

Your story and positioning, a clear membership and pricing overview across all divisions, and a Join the Team page for hiring new coaches.

Class booking & contracts

Your existing membership tiers, contracts and class-booking flow rebuilt inside the new design system, on your current booking platform. Not replaced, just finally on-brand.

App download

iOS/Android download promoted at the moment someone's ready to convert, instead of buried at the bottom of the page.

Content you can update yourself

Special offers, challenge pages and location details stay editable by your team, the way they are today, just inside the new look.

This is priced as a visual and structural redesign built on your existing content, memberships and booking logic. One honest note: if you'd also like a custom member portal or a new booking engine to replace your current provider, that is genuinely new development, not part of this facelift, and we'd scope and price it separately once you know which platform you want to move to.

Search & Discovery

Built to be found, in seven suburbs at once

Included In This Build

Technical foundations

Clean site structure, XML sitemap, meta titles & descriptions, and mobile-first performance, carried over so current rankings aren't lost in the rebuild.

LocalBusiness schema, per studio

Structured data for each of the seven locations, so Google understands you as seven real places, not one page pretending to be seven.

Search Console connection

So you can see what people are actually searching to find each studio.

Where We'd Go Next

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Seven separate Google Business listings across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie is a genuine growth lever most multi-studio operators leave on the table.

Content built around real search intent

"Reformer Pilates Newcastle," "HIIT training Lake Macquarie" and similar terms are genuinely searched, so division and location pages can be built to answer them directly.

An honest note

We don't guarantee rankings or AI-answer placement. Nobody credibly can. We follow what the evidence says works, and adjust as search evolves.

The Studio Loock Promise

We don't disappear after launch, and we don't call something finished until you're genuinely happy with it.

Two revision rounds

Built into every package, so first drafts can be honestly first drafts.

A real handover

A CMS walkthrough and documentation, so you're never locked out of your own site.

Ongoing care

Optional care plans keep security, backups and performance looked after long after launch.

Pricing Breakdown

Where does the cost come from?

Time

Creativity takes time. For every concept we create, there are hours of research, moodboarding and testing behind the scenes. Our pricing accounts for the work you don't see, not just the file you receive.

Experience

We know how our skill and experience matches up within the industry, and we price fairly for clients while still asking what we know we're worth, especially for the level of design cohesion a brand like yours needs.

Value

Strategic design makes a real impact on your business, from turning followers into members to making the retreats feel like the premium experience they are. That value is reflected in the price.

What's ahead

A brand and website built properly the first time means less rebuilding later. As your membership grows, the foundation scales with you instead of holding you back.

How We'll Get There

Estimated process

Roughly 7–9 weeks from kickoff to launch across seven studios' worth of content, depending on revisions and how quickly studio-specific details come together.

01

Visual identity strategy session

A working session on the monochrome direction, confirming exactly how minimally Reformer, Performance and Training's colours get used across the site.

02

System & homepage concept

The refined visual system applied to the homepage and one division template, so the direction is proven before it rolls out site-wide.

03

Full site build

Every division, all seven studio pages, membership, about and contact rebuilt on the approved system, on top of your existing content and booking logic.

04

Revisions, QA & launch

Two rounds of revisions, testing across devices, and a walkthrough of your updated site before we go live.

Thank you

It's been a genuine pleasure watching ToneLAB grow to seven studios, Jordan. This one's overdue: a site that finally looks as premium as the studios themselves. Excited to get started.
