Skin Care Incorporated


This Hampshire beauty salon received a well earned face lift that proves user friendly, accessible and easily maintainable this month.

A mutual friend; Jan Storey, came to us as the proprietor of a small local beauty salon with the simple question: Would I get good ‘return on investment’ if I had a website re-design? We just had to say yes but better than this we proved how and why!

Our 1st step was to run a PPC campaign for several weeks to show Jan just how many people are out there looking for beauty products and treatments. She was shocked, and instantly wanted to get the project rolling and prove that even a local high street business like ‘Skincare Inc’ can excel on the internet.




Our first step was to do the research stages involving business objectives, competitor analysis, user reviews, information architecture review and asset audits along with other services.

Following the outcomes of this research we were able to put together wireframes that demonstrated what the site would contain and roughly where on the key pages. This allowed Jan to understand an often confusing service such as ‘web design’ and focus on items at a high level without details.

The next stage was the exciting part, The ‘visuals’. These followed the wireframes and demonstrated exactly how a user would work their way through the website. The design was delivered ‘on brand’ yet with a little creativity mixed in too enhance key new elements of the products and services Skincare offers.

All ‘treatment’ photography was sourced by ourselves with a little help from our client, as how many guys know what ‘Hydradermie facial’ is. These photographs were backed up with a few profile photos of the team members in-house by Design Haus to polish the site a little further.



As always our technical team have never been scared of a challenge and this project was just that. Due to the size of budget available, Xcart was chosen as the purchasing and administration system to be built seamlessly into the site. It was chosen for its ease of client use, rich suite fully customisable functionality and latest industry standard code to name but a few.
