The journey · before → after

From broken to shipped.

Every case study has two halves — the mess we inherited and the product we shipped. Follow the spine down to travel from one to the other.

01
Pain point 01

La Bellea needed to move fast without sacrificing quality or future scale.

02
Pain point 02

Existing tooling created friction for high-intent clients browsing portfolios — off-brand templates and zero booking flow.

03
Pain point 03

The goal: a modern, SEO-first product that could be shipped in weeks, not quarters, and handed over with zero lock-in.

The transformation
We re-engineered it.
01
Phase 01

Discovery & Strategy

Mapped user journeys, business KPIs and the smallest scope that would prove ROI. Aligned on measurable outcomes — conversion, speed, and organic reach.

02
Phase 02

Design System & Prototype

Built a scalable design system in Figma, validated with clickable prototypes, and locked in copy + motion before a line of code was written.

03
Phase 03

Build in Weekly Sprints

Production-grade WordPress, UI/UX, Photography from day one. Weekly demos, live preview URLs, shared Slack — full transparency across the board.

04
Phase 04

Technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, structured data and analytics wired in. Post-launch experiments driving a portfolio that converts visits into paid bookings.
