THE APPROACH
before designing a single page.
To build a site that could actually sell this service, we needed to understand it firsthand. The depth and accuracy of the experience made the messaging clear. This isn't vague content. It's a precise, personalized practice that helps people understand themselves. That insight shaped every word on the site.
REBRAND ONE · ERA 1 → ERA 2
The original brand used yellow and black. colors that read as bold but not warm and intuitive. After deep collaboration with Mariia, we replaced them with soft purples and pinks, built around her love of flowers and the vibrant, uplifting energy she brings to her work. The final logo and mood board reflected who she actually is.
Bilingual. Dual-currency. Fully custom. Built to convert globally.
Mariia serves clients in Ukraine, the UK, and beyond. The website had to work in two languages, take payments in euros and U.S. dollars, and explain a nuanced service clearly enough that a total stranger would book a consultation within minutes of arriving. Every structural and design decision flowed from those requirements.
Bilingual structure in English and Ukrainian
Full parallel site in both languages, each with its own navigation. English: Home, Reviews, My Journey, Experience, Services, and four dedicated consultation pages. Ukrainian: exact equivalents. A dropdown menu handled language switching. SEO implications were discussed upfront. We agreed to review performance at six to eight months and adapt based on data.
Custom intake forms for each service type
Every consultation type had its intake form collecting the birth data, questions, and context needed before the session. Clients arrived prepared, and Mariia arrived informed. Fewer back-and-forth messages, better consultations.
PayPal payments in euros and U.S. dollars
Dual-currency payment built in from launch removing the friction that stops international clients from completing a booking. No workarounds, no manual invoicing.
Page structure built around how clients actually search
Key terms such as natal chart, life balance, and astrological psychology were woven into the site architecture as primary pages, not footnotes. Each one is both a service explanation and an SEO asset. The natal chart page alone targets one of the highest-volume search terms in the space.
ADAPT & OPTIMIZE
Six months in, the data said something. We listened.
AFTER LAUNCH
Instagram drove immediate traffic and early form submissions. One month in, we connected Instagram directly to the site, improving click-through rates and routing users toward a more personal messaging experience rather than cold booking.
At six months
At six months, English-speaking followers had grown significantly, but conversion data showed the bilingual structure was creating duplicate content issues that were suppressing SEO performance. Rather than defend the original decision, we made the call to streamline: removed the Ukrainian pages, focused the site on English content, and let the organic growth speak to an international audience through a single, stronger platform.
​
"Good strategy isn't about being right the first time. It's about building in the checkpoints to know when to adapt and having the data to make that call confidently."
REDESIGN TWO · ERA 3
Softer. Simpler. Built for life balance and built for Google and AI to find again.
From magenta and pink to lavender and green
The new palette draws directly from Mariia's love of flowers. Especially lavender and soft sage greens. Where the previous era used saturated pinks to convey energy and vibrancy, the new brand communicates stillness, trust, and natural beauty. The shift in color is a shift in positioning: from 'vibrant practitioner' to 'life-balance guide.'
Simplicity as a conversion strategy
The previous site had grown organically over four years useful features added one by one. By the second redesign, the architecture needed a reset. A more simplified, user-friendly structure removed friction from every step of the booking journey. Less noise, clearer calls to action, faster paths to inquiry.
Mobile optimization: 67 → 97
The second redesign brought mobile performance from a 67 to a 97, a dramatic improvement for users arriving from Instagram and mobile search. Desktop performance reached 99. These aren't vanity numbers: faster load times reduce bounce, improve time-on-site, and directly support conversion.
THE RESULTS
A platform that grew, adapted, and kept delivering across three eras.
Rebuilt for Google and AI to read
Over time, accumulated structure, redirects, and markup drift can make a site harder for search engines and, increasingly, AI-powered search tools to interpret accurately. The second redesign cleaned the technical foundation: streamlined markup, updated schema, cleaner content
→
600 → 3,000+ Instagram followers in year one
All organic. No paid follower acquisition. Content strategy built around the service, not generic wellness content.
→
95% website performance score at original launch
Pages loaded in under 1.5 seconds with a 1MB page size from day one.
→
Mobile performance 67 → 97 after second redesign
Desktop performance reached 99, a complete reversal of accumulated performance debt.
→
Day 1 form submissions at every launch
The brand and site were strategically positioned to attract inquiries before any advertising, both at the original launch and during the second redesign.
→
Strategic pivot at month six
SEO data informed a site restructure that strengthened English-language conversion without losing the international audience.
→
Second redesign rebuilt for AI-era search
Cleaner markup, updated schema, and simplified content hierarchy ensure Mariia's practice surfaces accurately in Google and AI-powered search results.
