Dalila Hairdressing - Online identity refresh
Dalila Hairdressing needed a website that reflected the stylist’s personality
and made the booking experience clearer for clients. The existing site was
generating admin overhead from incorrect bookings and didn’t communicate the
full-service, premium experience Dalila offers.
I redesigned and rebuilt the site in Astro, restructured the content,
and overhauled the booking page to guide clients through the right choices.
Wrong bookings dropped to almost zero, and average search position improved
from 9.3 to 5.7.
The existing site wasn’t telling Dalila’s story. It lacked personality, didn’t
reflect her premium positioning, and gave clients no guidance when booking.
Colour services require a finishing service, and hair length affects pricing,
but neither was explained anywhere. Clients were regularly booking
incorrectly, creating avoidable back-and-forth admin before every appointment.
The site also had limited content depth and no FAQs, which was hurting
discoverability as more users search through LLMs and AI-powered search tools.
I rebuilt the site from scratch in Astro, migrating from Hugo. The redesign
centred on three things: story, trust, and booking clarity.
The content was rewritten to reflect Dalila’s personalised approach and
full-service philosophy. New photography was taken to show her current work
and style. Real client testimonials were added to build social proof.
The booking page was restructured around an “Important Booking Info” block that explained that colour services always include a finishing service, with visual examples of different hair lengths to help clients pick the right option with confidence. This removed the ambiguity that was causing incorrect bookings.
FAQs were added intentionally to improve discoverability in both traditional search and LLM-driven results. Average search position improved from 9.3 to 5.7, CTR moved from 7% to 7.3%, and admin from wrong bookings dropped to almost zero.
