Most website slowdowns aren't a "server problem" — they're a code problem.
3 things I check first when a client's site feels slow:
1. Unoptimized images (biggest culprit, 90% of the time)
2. Too many unused JavaScript bundles loading on every page
3. No caching set up between the database and the frontend
Fix these before upgrading your hosting plan — it saves money and actually fixes the problem.
What's the last thing that surprised you about your site's speed?

I Designed and built a conversion-focused landing page for The Pretty Bar, a beauty studio in Kolonaki, Athens.
The salon needed an owned homepage that could replace a broken bio link and pull booking, social proof, and visit info into one place, instead of sending guests only to Treatwell or Fresha.
The site is a fast, mobile-first single page with a calm editorial look that matches the studio. Guests can browse services and FAQs, meet the team, see selected work, read verified reviews, and book on Treatwell or Fresha without leaving the brand experience.
It also ships bilingual EN/EL support, light/dark theme, SEO metadata, sitemap/robots, and social share previews so the page works for discovery as well as booking.
What I delivered:
- Custom Next.js landing page (hero, about, services + FAQs, team, gallery, reviews, contact/map)
- Dual booking CTAs (Treatwell + Fresha)
- EN / EL localization
- SEO + Open Graph / social sharing setup
- Responsive UI with motion polish
- Light/dark mode
