The brief
Two instructors, starting from nothing.
Lucy and Maya both have full-time jobs. They teach Pilates and yoga on the side.
Luma Lab was the idea of turning that into something of their own. An at-home studio, with classes people could take on their own schedule. They were starting from scratch.
They looked at drag-and-drop builders first. The more they pictured it, the clearer it got that a template wouldn't carry the brand they wanted.
Nothing to sell yet.
Luma Lab was early. The class library was half-built and the product wasn't ready to buy. What they needed first was an audience, which meant the site had exactly one job: turn a visitor into a signup.
That's a harder problem than showing off something finished. There was nothing to look at. The site had to be convincing enough that someone would hand over their email for a thing that didn't exist yet.
Everything points at one button.
I built the site around the waitlist. Founding member pricing gave people a real reason to sign up early, and every screen moves toward that one action.
Because they were starting from scratch, the work went well past design. I helped them pick a domain, worked out which integrations they actually needed, and ran the project. When you're building a business for the first time the technical decisions pile up fast, and most of them arrive before you know enough to choose.
The outcome
A waitlist, and a studio that looks established.
Luma Lab collects signups while the product gets built. It reads like a studio that's been around, not two people starting out.
Update, September 2026: The course is live. 40+ people have subscribed.
