We had the opportunity to redesign and redevelop the existing website of 76Style, a renowned beauty salon. Their primary goal was to refresh the design and modernize the site’s functionality, as it had become increasingly difficult to manage due to its reliance on outdated technologies. The client wanted a website that was easier to update and maintain without sacrificing any existing functionality, and particularly their custom-developed booking module.

Split Ends to Fix

While the client was eager for a design refresh, the project presented a significant challenge. 76Style had made considerable investments in a custom booking module built by the previous developer, and it was crucial to their business operations. The client insisted on retaining this module, along with all its data, throughout the redesign and redevelopment process. Our task was to modernize the website while ensuring the booking system remained functional and unchanged.

Brushing Out the Knots

1. Understanding the Existing System: We began by thoroughly analysing the custom booking module, including its architecture and how it interacted with the website’s other components. This allowed us to identify potential risks and plan how to integrate the module within the new design.

2. Design and Development Strategy: With the booking module as a fixed element, we crafted a redesign that would modernize the website’s look and feel without affecting the module’s functionality. We selected technologies that would streamline future updates and improve the overall user experience, ensuring the new site was both visually appealing and easier to manage.

3. Seamless Integration: During the development phase, we ensured that the booking module was seamlessly integrated into the new website. This required close attention to compatibility and data preservation, ensuring that no aspect of the booking functionality was lost or disrupted.

4. Testing and Validation: After the redesign, we conducted extensive testing to confirm the module’s functionality and verify that all data had been preserved. We also ensured that the new design improved site performance, making it faster and more responsive for users.

A Fresh New Look

Our agency delivered a fully redesigned and redeveloped 76Style.com on time, achieving the client’s goals. The results were significant:

– Easier Updates: The new website allows the 76Style team to update and manage content more easily, reducing the reliance on old technologies and making maintenance more efficient.

– Preserved Functionality: The custom booking module, along with all its critical data, was retained and integrated seamlessly into the new design, ensuring business operations were uninterrupted.

– Enhanced User Experience: The website’s modernized design improved the overall user experience, with a more responsive and visually engaging interface.

A Sharp Finish

The redesign and development of 76Style.com demonstrate our agency’s ability to deliver modern website solutions while overcoming complex challenges such as preserving custom-built features. By successfully integrating the existing booking module within a refreshed design, we provided 76Style with an up-to-date website that meets their operational needs and enhances their brand presence.
