What a beauty booking website should make obvious 🤔?
Most local service websites do not lose potential clients because the business lacks talent. They lose them in the first few seconds because the next step is unclear.
When someone lands on a beauty or local-service website, they should quickly understand:
What do you offer?
Is this the right fit for me?
What should I expect to pay?
What are the policies?
How do I book or ask a question? That is the system I design around. For the VÉRA starter direction, I built the experience around:
A strong first impression on mobile
Clear services and pricing
Portfolio imagery that shows the finish
Policies that reduce uncertainty
A visible booking or inquiry path
Client-owned tools for forms, payments, and scheduling The result should feel beautiful, but it should also make the decision easier for the person considering an appointment.
I am currently offering an introductory launch rate of $900 for my first three done-for-you booking website projects for braiders, hair stylists, nail techs, lash artists, barbers, and other local service businesses. This launch rate may change as the service expands.
If your current website looks good but makes booking harder than it should, view the service here:

The hardest part of freelancing hasn't been Premiere Pro or After Effects.
It's uncertainty.
One week your schedule is completely full.
Another week you're refreshing your inbox wondering where the next project is coming from.
That's why I've started treating freelancing less like:
“I'm a video editor looking for work.”
And more like running a small business.
Outreach.
Follow-ups.
Lead tracking.
Client retention.
Positioning.
Pricing.
The editing is still the product.
But everything around the editing is what keeps the product alive.
