United Soccer Tours, WordPress Website Design Case Study for a Soccer Tour and Career Coaching Platform

A purpose driven WordPress website for United Soccer Tours, presenting elite soccer tour management, career and coaching consultancy, and FIFA World Cup special event tours for players, coaches, and families.

Timeline: 2-week project

United Soccer Tours is a US based soccer tour management company led by Craig Smillie, a highly regarded UEFA B Licensed Soccer Coach and former professional soccer player. The company delivers elite soccer experiences connecting players, teams, coaches, and families with Premier League training grounds, iconic stadiums, elite coaches, and world class soccer markets across the UK, Europe, the US, and UAE.

Beyond tour operations, United Soccer Tours offers a Soccer Career and Coaching Consultancy arm, providing career development guidance for coaches, player transition support, and international soccer consulting services. The company is also packaging Special Event Tours for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

Elite IT Solutions designed and built a WordPress website presenting all three service pillars: tour management, career consultancy, and special event tours. Craig Smillie’s coaching credentials and industry background serve as the central trust signal throughout the site, with a Book Your Soccer Tour CTA as the primary conversion pathway and dedicated sections for both coaches and players seeking career guidance.

Client

United Soccer Tours, a US based soccer tour management company led by UEFA B Licensed coach Craig Smillie, serving players, coaches, teams, and families across the UK, Europe, USA, and UAE.

Context

A multi service soccer company offering tour management, career consultancy, and once in a generation special event packages needed a website that clearly presented all three pillars, established Craig’s credentials as a licensed coach and industry expert, and converted visitors from information browsers to tour booking enquiries.

Problem Statement

Without a professional website presenting tour management, career consultancy, and World Cup special event tours in a single organised destination, United Soccer Tours could not effectively compete for players, coaches, and families searching for premium soccer travel and career guidance online.

Key Pain Points

  • Presenting three distinct service pillars, tour management, career and coaching consultancy, and FIFA World Cup special event tours, in a structure that felt cohesive rather than fragmented
  • Establishing Craig Smillie’s dual credentials as a UEFA B Licensed coach and experienced tour operator as the core trust signal for parents, coaches, and players investing in soccer experiences
  • Creating dedicated pathways for the 2026 FIFA World Cup USA and 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil tours as high value, time sensitive conversion opportunities

We built a WordPress website with a bold welcome hero section presenting the United Soccer Tours brand and a YouTube embedded video overview of the company’s destinations and experience. The Complete Soccer Tour Management section articulates the four pillar tour offering: elite soccer training, cultural immersion, connecting players with elite coaches, and creating unforgettable family experiences. A Why Choose United Soccer Tours section highlights Premier League stadium access, FIFA training facilities, iconic European markets, and Dubai landmark experiences. The Meet Craig Smillie section presents his UEFA B Licence, player development credentials, career transition consultancy experience, and international soccer expertise in a format that makes his authority immediately legible to parents and players. Special Event Tour panels for the 2026 FIFA World Cup USA and 2027 Women’s World Cup Brazil are featured with dedicated imagery and CTA buttons. The Soccer Career and Coaching Consultancy section addresses both coaches and players with tailored messaging. A Book Your Soccer Tour CTA drives primary conversion throughout the site.

United Soccer Tours now has a WordPress website presenting all three service pillars in a clear, credibility first structure. Craig’s coaching and tour credentials are prominent throughout, giving parents, players, and coaches the confidence to enquire. The 2026 and 2027 World Cup Special Event Tours are featured as headline conversion opportunities, and the Book Your Soccer Tour CTA provides a consistent enquiry pathway from any point in the browsing journey.
