What was in the way.

01

Too many choices

Forty-plus treatments with technical names. Visitors couldn’t tell a peel from a laser, so they left to “research” and never came back.

02

Clinical, not calming

Stock blue, dense text and pop-ups made a relaxing, trusted service feel like a pharmacy.

03

Trust signals buried

A board-certified medical director and hundreds of five-star reviews, hidden three clicks deep.

What we'd build.

One connected system, from getting found to getting booked. The website does the heavy lifting here.

Spotlight

Website

A calm redesign with a three-question treatment finder, plain-language menu (good for, time, downtime, from-price) and credentials up front.

Online booking

Free-consult-first booking, so no one has to know the right treatment before they reach out.

Local SEO & Google

Service pages and a Google Business Profile built around what people actually search, like “HydraFacial Upper West Side”.

Review growth

Review requests after each visit, and replies to every review.

Reporting

Tracking finder completions and consults, so we know which recommendations convert.

Spotlight: The redesign

From forty treatments to one clear next step.

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.

The old site (recreated)
Before: forty treatments in a link list, discounts shouting over the credentials, and no clear next step.

After: three plain questions lead to one honest starting point and a free consult. Credentials and reviews sit up front.

Brand & design system

A brand worth remembering.

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.

Projected impact

Concept projection

What it could mean.

A regular client is worth

$1,600

a year · $320 × 5 visits

2 new regulars a month, because the treatment finder turns undecided visitors into booked consults

$38,400

a year from 24 new regulars after twelve months

Northstar Foundation plan

$199/mo

after a $3,000 launch fee

  • · Average visit of $320, about 5 visits a year
  • · Two extra consults a month become regular clients
  • · No change in pricing or services
