PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The goal of this project was to modernize an existing salon website while improving usability, mobile responsiveness, and search visibility without losing the personality and familiarity of the original brand.
A major part of the redesign involved improving website structure, simplifying navigation, reorganizing service pages, and creating a more seamless booking experience for users browsing across desktop and mobile devices.
The visual direction also shifted away from a more restrictive color-heavy layout toward a softer neutral aesthetic that helped create a cleaner, more elevated brand experience while improving readability and visual balance across the website.
Alongside the redesign, SEO optimization improvements were implemented to support stronger discoverability, better content structure, and improved user flow throughout the site.
