Spa Ojas
A calm day spa site where booking takes one tap
- Website rebuild
The problem
The old site looked dated. Booking a treatment took more effort than it should, and the services weren't laid out in a way that showed what the spa offers.
Before: the old homepage, January 2025 (from the Internet Archive).
Goals
- Make booking a treatment fast and obvious, especially on a phone.
- Show services and starting prices clearly, so people know what to expect.
- Give the spa's memberships, gift cards and loyalty rewards a proper home.
- Feel like the spa itself: calm, warm and on brand.
Constraints
An existing booking system (Fresha) that had to stay, a clear vision from the owner for the look and feel, and real photos of the space to work with.
What I did and why
Built it phone first. Most spa customers book from their phone, so every layout started at phone size.
Grouped services by category with "starting at" prices and a Book Now button on each that opens that service in Fresha. Fewer taps between "I want a massage" and a booked time.
Left: the massage menu. Right: one tap later, in Fresha.
Gave every offer its own page: packages, the OJAS Circle membership, gift cards (including buying from overseas), loyalty rewards and an FAQ.
Used the spa's own photos, colours and lotus mark, with a photo slider of the real space on every page, and a contact form that goes straight to the spa's inbox.
Fast, secure hosting with no monthly hosting bill, in an account the spa owns.
After: the new homepage, live since October 29, 2026.
Results
For the business: It's early. The site launched October 29, and Google Search Console already shows more search impressions than before.
Marketing metrics: Google PageSpeed Insights scores the new site 96 on mobile and 99 on desktop, with 100 for SEO and best practices. On a laptop the main content loads in 0.6 seconds.

What I'd do differently
I now agree on the content, the page list and the number of revision rounds in writing before design starts, and I collect feedback as one list per round. It makes projects faster and calmer for both sides.
