A Booking-Led Website Backed by Real APIs
Turning a brochure-style presence for a boutique wellness studio into a fast, SEO-ready website with a real backend behind enquiries and bookings.
Business Context
The problem space and success criteria
The studio had a static online presence: services were hard to compare, and every enquiry needed manual follow-up before it became a booking.
Project goals
- Present services and schedules clearly on every device
- Shorten the path from discovery to a confirmed booking
- Let the team update content without a developer
- Keep pages fast and indexable for search
Technical Response
How the delivery was structured
Solution
Built a server-rendered Next.js website on a Laravel backend that owns services, schedules, and enquiries, with validation at every boundary and content the team can edit.
Architecture
Next.js (server-rendered) → Laravel REST API → MySQL → transactional email → managed hosting
Outcomes
Lead result
Services and schedules easier to understand at a glance
- A direct path from discovery to booking
