Challenges & Solutions:

Challenge

  • The website needed to present luxury skincare services in a way that was engaging and easy to understand for a wide audience.

  • Service descriptions were originally too technical or lengthy, which risked overwhelming visitors.

  • Balancing professionalism with warmth and relatability was key to building user trust.

Solution

  • Worked closely with the client to develop conversion-driven microcopy tailored to each service.

  • Simplified language while highlighting clear, tangible benefits of each treatment.

  • Incorporated real client testimonials to reinforce credibility and emotional connection.

The goal: 

The goal was to design a visually compelling and functionally seamless website that:

  • Educates visitors about advanced facial treatments.

  • Converts visits into appointments via strategic CTAs.

  • Establishes authority as a professional skincare destination.

  • Showcases glowing client testimonials and before-after transformations.

Discovery & Research

We began with deep-dive research into:

  • Local competitors in the medspa and skincare industry.

  • Target audience personas — busy professionals, skincare-savvy clients, and first-time facial-goers.

  • The brand’s voice — balancing clinical credibility with warm, welcoming aesthetics.

I conducted user research and usability mapping to uncover how motorsport fans consume content online. The focus was on optimizing flow, speed, and engagement—ensuring the platform meets the expectations of an audience fueled by adrenaline and real-time updates.

Design Process

1. Color & Visual Language

A muted palette of whites and soft golds was used to reflect cleanliness, calm, and trust—core to a skincare brand. Hero sections were kept minimalist, highlighting real client images and service benefits over heavy text.

2. Typography

  • A blend of elegant serif headlines with modern sans-serif body fonts created contrast and readability, evoking both professionalism and approachability.

3. Layout & Flow

  • Home Page introduces the ethos and leads users to Book Now or Explore Services.

  • Services Page uses a card layout to break down treatments (HydraFacial, Dermaplaning, etc.), each with a dedicated detail view.

  • Booking CTA appears contextually throughout to capture interest at peak moments.

Development & Implementation

Built on WordPress, the site was:

  • Fully responsive across devices with mobile-first optimization.

  • Integrated with Squarespace Scheduling for real-time booking.

  • Optimized for speed and SEO, with lazy-loading images and meta-structured service pages.

Accessibility compliance was ensured by using:

  • Sufficient contrast ratios.

  • Keyboard-navigable menus.

  • Alt text and ARIA labels for screen readers.

Results

  • Bounce rate decreased by 36% within the first 30 days.

  • Bookings increased by 48% from organic traffic alone.

  • Average session duration improved from 1:09 to 2:46.

  • Positive client feedback was received for both the ease of use and the aesthetic alignment with the in-spa experience.

Technologies Used

  • WordPress (Custom Theme)

  • HTML5, CSS3, JS

  • Squarespace Scheduling Integration

  • Yoast SEO & Google Analytics

  • Cloudflare CDN & Image Compression
