KAINOS

WELLNESS

This project involves designing a website for Kainos Wellness. The site features a calming palette of blues and greens, evoking tranquility and renewal. The design prioritizes user-friendly navigation, seamless online booking, and clear service descriptions, creating a smooth and relaxing digital experience that reflects the brand’s holistic approach to wellness.

Designing for Responsiveness

KEY LEARNINGS

One of the most valuable lessons from this project was the importance of creating a fully responsive website that adapts seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes. Given that 92% of users accessed Kainos Wellness Massage via mobile, I had to ensure the layout remained intuitive, visually appealing, and functional across all screen types. This experience reinforced my understanding of mobile-first design, emphasizing simplicity, clarity, and ease of navigation.

This project marked my first real-world website design outside of school assignments, making it a significant milestone in my portfolio. Unlike academic projects with predefined guidelines, I had to approach this with a client-focused mindset, ensuring the design met both business needs and user expectations. Additionally, I refined my research skills, diving deeper into user behavior, online search patterns, and accessibility considerations. The process challenged me to think critically about how design impacts usability and professionalism in a real business setting.

Designing Beyond

the Classroom

SKILLS & GROWTH

One area I’d like to improve is language accessibility. The business owner is a native Spanish speaker, and many of Kainos’ clients primarily speak Spanish. Currently, the website is only in English, which may create a barrier for Spanish-speaking customers. In the future, I aim to implement a seamless bilingual interface that allows users to switch effortlessly between Spanish and English, ensuring inclusivity and a better user experience for all clients. This would further elevate Kainos Wellness Massage’s professionalism and accessibility, making it even more welcoming to a diverse clientele.

Language Accessibility

FUTURE UPDATES

Kainos Wellness Massage, a single-person business, lacked an online presence, making it difficult for potential clients to find essential information such as services, pricing, and booking options. Without a professional website, the business risked appearing less credible and missing opportunities to attract new clients.

Underwhelming Online Presence Against Competition

PROBLEM

Building an Online Presence

SOLUTION

I designed a user-friendly website that consolidates all necessary information in an accessible and visually appealing format. The site enhances professionalism through a calming blue and green color scheme, clear navigation, and integrated online booking. This ensures potential clients can easily learn about services, book appointments, and trust Kainos Wellness Massage as a reputable business.

Understanding The Customer’s Journey

Through research, I identified two primary ways customers found Kainos Wellness Massage. Many relaxation-focused clients discovered the business spontaneously through Google searches, often making last-minute booking decisions. Meanwhile, post-operative clients were primarily referred by previous customers, seeking specialized massage packages.


A crucial insight from this research was that the majority of users accessed the business through mobile devices. Data showed that:

of customers found Kainos

through Google search on mobile

68%

of customers found Kainos

through Google Maps on mobile

24%

of customers found Kainos via desktop

(Google search + Google Maps)

8%


These findings emphasized the importance of a mobile-first approach in designing the website. The layout needed to be simple yet informative, allowing users to quickly find essential details like services, pricing, and booking options without unnecessary complexity. Prioritizing clarity and ease of use ensured that Kainos Wellness Massage not only maintained its accessibility but also enhanced its credibility as a professional and trustworthy business.

Seamless Online Booking Integration

A key focus for the Kainos Wellness Massage website was a seamless booking experience. I added prominent booking buttons in both the top navigation and page footers, allowing quick access without extra searching. The services section details each offering for informed choices, while the button placement lets returning users book instantly. This streamlines the journey, reduces friction, and keeps the experience intuitive.

Toyko is a mobile app prototype that helps collectors track and trade blind box toys. Inspired by my own growing collection, it fills a market gap with no streamlined tool for tracking pulls or managing trades. The app enables direct trading with friends and lets users search and send offers to others. This project reflects my passion for collecting, data organization, and community-building, while exploring how Toyko could support brands like Pop Mart by boosting engagement and visibility.
