Case Study — Demo Concept

Styles & Smiles

A booking-first site for a one-chair Ashburton salon — service menu, real gallery, and the stylist's own story, built so a scroll ends in an appointment.

The Problem

A great local stylist often lives entirely inside a Facebook page and a full appointment book. New clients can't see the price of a cut, what the work actually looks like, or how to book without sending a message and waiting. Every bit of friction is a booking that goes to the salon down the road.

The Goal

Turn a personal, referral-driven salon into something a stranger can trust in one visit — a clear service menu with prices, a gallery of real work, and a booking path that takes a tap, not a DM.

Design Direction

Fresh, bright, and personal. A soft blue palette that feels clean rather than clinical, generous photography of finished cuts, and the stylist front-and-centre so the site feels like the person, not a franchise. The service menu reads like a price list you'd actually trust.

What Was Built
The Customer Journey
01

Hears the name

A friend recommends the salon or they spot it on Facebook and look for more.

02

Sizes it up

Prices, real photos, and the stylist's face answer 'is this for me?' in seconds.

03

Books

One tap to request an appointment — no message-and-wait, no phone tag.

Technology
  • Hand-coded HTML / CSS / JS
  • Booking-oriented single page
  • Responsive, mobile-first layout
What a Site Like This Could Improve
  • Fewer back-and-forth booking messages eating into chair time
  • New clients who arrive already knowing the prices and the style
  • A professional home base that outlasts any one social platform

This project is a demo concept created by Pureza Digital to demonstrate what a modern website could look like for a local business of this kind. It is not a commissioned client project, and any resemblance to existing businesses is illustrative.
