Business email setup for professional communication with Striders Tech services

Client Overview

Business Name: Luxe Hair & Beauty (name anonymized)
Location: Miami, Florida, USA
Industry: Beauty & Wellness
Problem: The salon was using a slow Wix-based website with broken booking forms, unclear services, and no SEO. Most new customers were walk-ins or referrals — not from online search.

Goals

  • Build a fast, visually appealing, and easy-to-navigate website
  • Enable online booking and highlight seasonal offers
  • Optimize for local search to attract new customers from Google
  • Ensure mobile responsiveness and fast load speeds

Our Solution

We rebuilt their website on WordPress with Elementor to provide full control and custom design. The homepage features vibrant visuals, scrolling testimonials, and a prominent booking CTA. A clear services menu and optimized local content helped increase visibility in Miami-based searches.

  • Design: Feminine color palette with sleek layout
