Services: coaching, tarot and Reiki

Bookings & contact

Obvious on every key page

Ongoing

Still evolving with the brand

Opal Life Coaching needed a site that matched the tone of the business: calm, clear and easy to use, with an obvious way to book or get in touch. I'm building a custom Next.js and Payload site for Cara covering services, story, reviews, FAQs and contact.

The brief

Sound like Cara, and never hide the next step

Life coaching sites often feel either too corporate or too vague. Cara needed something that sounded like her: practical coaching, intuitive guidance and gentle support, without hiding the next step.

1Introduce Cara and her life coaching business without overwhelming first-time visitors.
2Make coaching, tarot and Reiki easy to understand and compare.
3Keep booking and contact obvious on every key page.
4Stay calm on mobile and desktop: soft colour, clear type, space to read.
What's in progress

Three parts of the site, built around one next step

Services that read clearly

Three service cards (Life Coaching, Tarot Readings and Reiki Healing) with short copy and links through to fuller service pages. Easy to skim, with more detail when someone wants it.

Service detail: the Life Coaching page with booking and enquiry paths.

Where things stand

Live in staging, still taking shape

The core brand site is live in staging with services, story and contact in place, but the work is still ongoing. Layout, copy and content will keep changing as Cara's offering develops.

A brand site that matches the tone of her life coaching business.
Clear paths from homepage to services to booking or contact.
Dedicated pages for coaching and story for search and referrals.
Mobile-friendly layout with calm type and hierarchy.
Still subject to further design and content changes before a final handoff.

Under the hood

A content model Cara can edit herself

A custom Next.js front end with Payload CMS behind it, so services, story, reviews and FAQs are content Cara can change without me.
