Websites for Beauty & Wellness
Your clients found you on Instagram, booked you on their phone at 11pm, and decide in the next 30 seconds whether to return. Your website has to hold up under all three moments — discovery, booking, and the post-visit reminder that brings them back for the next six weeks.

Path A — WordPress / WooCommerce
Independent stylists, single-location salons and spas, or wellness practitioners up to about 5 providers. You want a brand-matching site, reliable online booking via a proven platform (Fresha / Square / Booksy), and enough content to win the Instagram-to-Google check before a first-time client books.
Phases
- 1.Brand-matching marketing site with strong gallery and team bios
- 2.Embedded booking widget from your existing platform
- 3.Instagram and Google Business Profile integration
- 4.Retention basics — email capture and rebooking reminders
Core Pages
- Home (hero, trust signals, booking CTA above the fold)
- Services / Menu with transparent pricing
- Team / Stylists with specialties and portfolios
- Gallery / Before & After
- Shop (if you sell retail — optional)
- About / Studio Policy
- Book Now (widget page) / Contact
Core Features
- Service menu with transparent pricing and duration
- Third-party booking widget (Fresha / Square / Booksy) with deposit support
- Provider-level profiles and specialties
- Before / after gallery tagged by service
- Instagram feed embed and Google review pull-through
- Email capture for newsletter + rebooking flow
Limitations
- •Booking lives inside a widget — you pay per-booking or monthly fees to the platform
- •Retention automations capped by the booking platform's feature set
- •Retail runs on a separate system if you sell product
- •No unified client history across bookings, purchases, and memberships
Path B — React / Django Custom
Multi-location salons, medspas, or wellness brands with 10+ providers, where booking platform fees add up, and where you want retention automation (post-visit reminders, membership billing, loyalty points) that the booking widget can't deliver. Also right if clients routinely ask for an account-based experience.
Phases
- 1.Native booking with deposit, cancellation policy, and waitlist logic
- 2.Integrated retail and service in one cart
- 3.Membership and loyalty programme with automatic billing
- 4.Client account with history across bookings, purchases, and notes
Core Features
- Native booking engine with deposits and cancellation policy
- E-commerce for retail + subscription products
- Membership tiers with recurring billing
- Loyalty points across service and retail
- Unified client history (notes, formulas, past services)
- Automated rebooking and win-back reminders
- Provider dashboards for commission reporting
