02 / Concept redesign · Med spa · Upper West Side, Manhattan
A calmer, clearer med spa site with a treatment finder that turns “I don’t know what I need” into a booked consult.
The brief
Morrow Med Spa is a fictional med spa we designed to show what Northstar builds. The numbers below are realistic assumptions for a business like it, not real client data.
Forty-plus treatments with technical names. Visitors couldn’t tell a peel from a laser, so they left to “research” and never came back.
Stock blue, dense text and pop-ups made a relaxing, trusted service feel like a pharmacy.
A board-certified medical director and hundreds of five-star reviews, hidden three clicks deep.
One connected system, from getting found to getting booked. The website does the heavy lifting here.
A calm redesign with a three-question treatment finder, plain-language menu (good for, time, downtime, from-price) and credentials up front.
Free-consult-first booking, so no one has to know the right treatment before they reach out.
Service pages and a Google Business Profile built around what people actually search, like “HydraFacial Upper West Side”.
Review requests after each visit, and replies to every review.
Tracking finder completions and consults, so we know which recommendations convert.
Spotlight: The redesign
Most people land on a med spa site not knowing what they need. We replaced an overwhelming menu with a three-question treatment finder that recommends a starting point, explains it plainly, and books a free consult.
Brand & design system
Every Northstar build starts with an identity that fits the business and its clients, then a design system so every page, post and text message feels like the same place.
