CDL Training Academy Sees 65% Boost in Enrollment with Clean, High-Impact Website Redesign

The Challenge

A Houston-based CDL Academy with state-of-the-art equipment and expert instructors was losing out to lower-quality competitors simply because their website didn’t reflect the high level of their program. The site was clunky, outdated, and lacked mobile optimization. Worse, there was no clear way for prospects to learn about enrollment steps or request more info.

Our Approach

SurgeMedia led a full redesign focused on clarity, professionalism, and conversion:

• User-Centered UX: Rebuilt the site architecture to guide users through an intentional journey—From “What is CDL?” to “Apply Now.”
• Visual Authority: Showcased the Academy’s modern rigs, training yard, and instructors through custom photography and a bold, professional layout.
• Mobile-First: With 70% of traffic on mobile, we built a blazing-fast, responsive experience that worked seamlessly on all devices.
• Conversion Funnels: Integrated GHL-powered contact forms, chat widget, and lead capture pop-ups with clear CTAs on every page.

The Results

• 65% Increase in Web Form Submissions within 6 weeks
• 40% Lower Bounce Rate from mobile users
• Faster Page Load Times (under 2 seconds on all devices)
• Stronger Brand Perception reported in student feedback
