Built Fade District with Lovable, a streamlined barber booking web app for a one-chair barbershop in Deep Ellum.

Customers can browse services, choose an available time, book an appointment, receive confirmations and reminders, and manage their booking by rescheduling or canceling. For the visual side of the website, I wanted the Recent Work section to make Fade District feel like a real modern barbershop rather than just a booking interface. I added three different haircut styles — Low Taper Fade, Mid Fade, and Burst Fade — so visitors could quickly see the type of work the barber offers. I kept the images consistent in quality and presentation and chose different styles to give the gallery more variety while still keeping the overall look cohesive with the dark, premium design of the site.

I also added descriptive titles and short details under each haircut so visitors can immediately understand what they are looking at without the section becoming too text-heavy. The goal was to make the gallery feel like a natural part of the customer journey: someone can see the quality and style of the cuts, then move directly into booking an appointment.

For the testimonials section, I wanted the content to reinforce the main problem the website was designed to solve. The testimonials focus on things like being able to book without sending DMs, getting an appointment confirmed quickly, and being able to manage or reschedule an appointment more easily. Rather than making the testimonials overly promotional, I kept them short and conversational so they fit naturally into the barbershop experience.

On the barber side, the owner dashboard keeps appointments and cancellations organized in one place.

The goal was to replace the usual back-and-forth with a faster, easier booking experience for both the customer and the barber #lovablechallenge
