Lanwell Behavioral Health just left this review and it made my whole week 🩷
Something I changed about my process that made a real difference: moodboards before design.
I used to go straight into design and figure things out as I built. It usually worked out, but there was always some rework at the end because what I made didn't quite match what the client pictured.
Now I start with a mood board instead. Colors, type, references. Enough for the client to react to before we're deep into actual pages and layouts. By the time I start designing, we already agree on the direction.
Small change, big difference. Worth trying if you've never done it 🙇🏽♀️🤍

“Florencia was amazing! She brought my vision to life and made the process seamless. She was patient, attentive, and always delivered ahead of deadlines. I especially loved starting with mood boards to capture my brand’s aesthetic.”

Just wrapped up a new case study: The Pretty Bar Web Design and Development Project
When a luxury salon’s digital entry point broke (unreachable domain) and their booking flow was split across Treatwell and Fresha, they were losing valuable organic traffic and client trust.
I built a high-converting, single-page web app to give them 100% brand ownership and a seamless booking experience.
Key Highlights:
🔹 Dual-Booking Hub: Direct CTAs for both Treatwell & Fresha
🔹 Bilingual (EN / EL): Instant toggle for local Athens residents & international visitors
🔹 Luxury Dark Mode: Custom HSL palette, soft glassmorphism & Three.js ambient aura lighting
🔹 Social Proof Integration: Showcasing 4.8★ rating & 2,200+ verified customer reviews
🔹 Tech Stack: Built with Next.js 16 (Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind CSS v4 & Framer Motion
Check out the full case study with section breakdowns, screenshots, and tech stack details here 👉: The Pretty Bar Web Design and Development Project
Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Really nice work! Love how you solved the booking and trust issues in one clean experience. The bilingual toggle is a great touch too.
