01 — Overview

Overview

A portfolio and booking-oriented website for an astrology consultant, built with a strong focus on branding, clarity, and a layout intended to convert visitors into bookings.

02 — Problem

The problem

The consultant's practice depended on visitors trusting the brand quickly and finding the path to booking a session without friction — the site needed clarity of message as much as visual polish.

03 — Design process

Design process

Prioritized a clear content hierarchy — who the consultant is, what a session looks like, how to book — over decorative flourishes, treating the booking path as the primary user journey to design around.

04 — Architecture

Architecture

A Next.js site with a straightforward page structure built around the booking funnel.

05 — Engineering decisions
