tanning salon
advanced wix website design
This was a new website created for a spray tanning salon. The Wix apps this site uses includes: Services/Booking, Packages/Plans, Pro Galleries, and Custom Forms.
I created a new logo and brand for the business. I wanted one font to be comfortable and approachable and the other to a modern, high-glam font.
The colors in the brand are similar to shades of tan, with a tropical blue, teal, and magenta accent colors.
The client's business is tailored to women of all ages and sizes. She didn't have photos, so I found commercial use images, which I edited to match the color scheme.
I also designed some printed items for her, such as her business card:
In addition to screenshots of the site pages, the image gallery includes some of the automated emails I created for her.
In addition to the branding and website design, I wrote all of the content, including the policies, FAQs, pre and post-care instructions, and intake forms.

The deer has economic and spiritual significance in both Choctaw and Scottish cultures. It is the deer that provides sustenance, clothing, and a means of trade. For the Choctaw, the deer also signifies compassion. And both cultures see the deer as a reminder of cyclical patterns, regeneration, resilience, restoration, healing, growth, and guidance.
​
And though both cultures hold these ideas of the deer, I chose the name Deer Heart specifically because the Choctaw people embody these ideas. They walked the Trail of Tears knowing they would face hardship and death but they had a vision of health, balance, and rejuvenation for the Choctaw people. They show us what is possible when you are resilient through dark times and develop an ability to quickly adapt to change. A mere 4,000 people survived the walk. But the Trail of Tears did not destroy them. It made them more compassionate and giving. And now they are the third largest tribe in the United States, with over 200,000 enrollees located around the world. Their resilience and adaptability, combined with compassion and love of fellow man, allowed the Choctaw Nation to thrive despite the great adversity they faced.
​
I try to follow in my ancestors' footsteps by having my work begin from a place of compassion. My intent is to help small business owners find resiliency and develop strategy that allows them to adapt to change. I want to help members of my community overcome the struggles they face, restore their passion for their work, and develop the tools they need to not just survive dark times, but come out of it stronger.
