How does a hair salon show off its work? With a great website design! Salon Saia recently partnered with Doug Brown Design for a new website design. Hair salon website design is of course centered around great visuals. Prospective clients are most interested in seeing the kinds of cuts and color they can expect from stylists. DBD began with the focus in mind when designing the new hair salon website.
The Design
DBD designed a simple, one-page website design to focus on just that. The menu is simple and leads to the “billboard” style section of the page. Each section is easily defined from the one before it, showing a clear break in content, a cue to the user’s eyes.
The gallery of their best work is the heart of the website design. The gallery showcases cuts and colors with vivid detail. Each image in the gallery can be clicked to bring up a pop-up so that the user can see more details.
Photos of each stylist are also a key part of the design. These are kept to black and white coloring so that the other colored images like those of different hair styles pop.
Functionality
Not only does the website feature great imagery, it also has the necessary functionality for the salon to capture contact information as well as for users to schedule appointments. The schedule appointments feature is such a necessity, considering that’s how most users want to schedule now. This allows for visitors to create an account then see the available dates and times for their preferred stylist. Additionally, since most users look at websites with their phone or other small device, the website has a responsive design.
Social media was also embedded into the design, allowing for visitors to easily visit their pages on Facebook and Instagram.
