Building Client Trust via Pricing and Service Information
The task of designing Skin Rituals website presented an exciting opportunity to establish the clinic's digital presence and align it with their brand image which encompasses elegance, professionalism, and enhancing individual's natural beauty. This undertaking came with its unique set of challenges, which required thorough research and creative thinking to understand user needs, market competition, and business values.
According to our research and surveys, clients who seek aesthetic services are more likely to book services with those they feel are trustworthy and safe. They value expertise and knowledge, just as much as they value knowing pricing up front when searching for services or a clinic. Clients also seek representation and diversity, ensuring that the clinic will consider their individuality and unique skincare needs.
Taking into account Skin Ritual's service offerings, values, and client's wants and needs, we explored various solutions for the responsive website before coming to the final product.
Balancing Client Needs with Brand Values
Designing the website for Skin Rituals required a structured and iterative process that involved collaboration between cross-functional team members. The following outlines the step-by-step process:
Meet with executives to understand the business goals, target audience, brand identity, and key objectives for the website design. The goal of the online experience is to encourage users to book a consultation at the clinic.
Plan the website's structure and content organization, ensuring an intuitive and user-friendly navigation flow. Services and cost information must be clear. Upfront pricing and building client's trust in their expertise is a top priority throughout the design process.
Develop the visual design concept into a functional website based on user surveys and market research, incorporating elegant design elements and conveying brand values. Ensuring there is sufficient technical information on services, how procedures work, and pricing to build user's trust.
