Introducing All-New Website Designs

For MY SALON Suite™ and SALON PLAZA™

 

In 2019, our Franchise Advisory Council formed a Website Committee to design and launch two brand new websites for our brands.

Today, we are thrilled to introduce the new sites to our Franchise Partners and give you a preview of them prior to launching in the upcoming weeks!

Three Goals for our New Websites

From the very beginning of this web redesign project, we have had three priorties that influenced every aspect of the new sites:

U

1. Help Clients Find Members and Members find Suites

Members want their services to be featured more prominently, and want their clients to be able to find them more easily. Franchisees don’t want to get so many phone calls from clients trying to book appointments with Members.

This new site design helps Clients find Members, and helps potential Members find suites to lease much more seamlessly than ever before.

2. Improve the Code for SEO to help Generate More Leads

Our sites have been evaluated by professional Search Engine Optimization (SEO) groups, and we have identified a number of areas where our code is outdated and was causing Google and other search engines to rank our site lower in their results.

We have worked with our designer to optimize all of the code, improving keywords and implementing best-practice strategies to help our organic and paid search results appear higher.

3. Enhance the Look and Feel

The MY SALON Suite and SALON PLAZA websites have served franchise owners well for the past several years, as evidenced by having 150 stores open and strong occupancy rates across the system. But the look and feel was starting to get a little dated. 

Wheat Creative has created two totally new designs for our brands that help to freshen up their image. Now our online presence can reflect the true quality that goes into every one of our stores.

 

To help clients find members easily, the homepage Call to Action buttons direct Clients to find a Professional, and Members to Rent a Suite.

The buttons below will change the picture above–check it out!
