Avalon Spa & Salon has been dedicated to helping clients feel and look beautiful while taking them into the realm of relaxation. We felt it was important to upgrade their website with a more contemporary look that perfectly translated this philosophy. Although it was a long effort that required the work of so many members of our team, the finished product is one that we’re very proud of, and we’re sure that this upgrade will be nothing but beneficial.

Mellow Reads and Catchy Visuals
Relax. Restore. Rejuvenate. This is the first message visitors see on Avalon’s website. We thought it was perfect since it matches the feel that the spa presents in-person. Genesis is one of our many talented writers and shared what the process of developing new content for this client was like. “I knew going into this that I had to know each of Avalon’s products and services to the fullest. Doing this was the only way I’d be able to perfectly describe what a client should expect when needing Avalon’s services.”
Avalon’s brand appears soft and relaxing with a unique choice of color tones. Jaime, one of our web designers with an eye for even the smallest of details, shared his experience in working on the project. “Matching the baby blue and soft pink tones in the brand and design was admittedly a challenge. I wanted to bring something high-class and prestigious to the table. The main objective was to help Avalon sell services and products, so I made the design as simple and clean as possible to give more focus to the pictures to push what they offer.”
The end result is very user-friendly and clean. We know that it will help the client navigate through the website without any hiccups. Another neat feature added to the homepage was a social media slideshow featuring their social platforms.
The Client Experience
An out-of-date website can run slow and lead to long loading times. This can easily aggravate a user, making them leave the site and seek out a competitor. This was obviously not an option since it would undoubtedly harm the client’s sales and customer base.
Our lead web developer, Cesar, knew what the site upgrade needed. “Avalon’s original website was built on the Magento 1 e-commerce platform. We decided to upgrade it to Magento 2, which is more forward-thinking and up-to-date with the latest web technologies. This project involved a bit of a learning curve for the team, but the payoff for building it using Magento 2 was well worth it. Magento 2 has, from initial setup, many beneficial e-commerce, SEO and development features, such as integrated payment gateways, SEO modification tools for products and increased page caching so that the website loads quickly.”
A Boss of a Website
We stand by our longtime clients and develop relationships where we can easily express which approaches are best for their digital marketing needs. The same amount of detail surely went into the design of Avalon’s new site.
Our CEO, John, had this to say about the project, “We’ve been working with Avalon pretty much since our company started. Having a customer for that long gives you a very strong understanding of the goals and expectations we strive to meet every day in all facets of their digital marketing experience. Avalon has a lot of products, services and packages, so the challenge for us was to not only make the website aesthetically pleasing, but also make it easy for visitors to navigate and find what they need and purchase it online. After many tests, a soft opening and even more tests, we’re very pleased with the outcome. More importantly, Avalon is extremely happy with it. They should be able to get a solid return on their investment.”
