The Healing Nest Hub is a mental health and wellness platform that provides a safe, supportive environment for individuals seeking emotional healing and personal growth. The platform offers therapy sessions, workshops, and resources to empower clients on their mental wellness journey.
When the HealingNest Hub approached us, they wanted a professional, user-friendly portfolio website. One that effectively showcased their services while enabling seamless interaction with potential clients. A website that reflects their mission of providing a safe, accessible space where people can comfortably engage with mental health resources.
This project was more than just building a website—it was about establishing an online presence that aligns with the brand’s commitment to fostering mental and emotional well-being.
Step 1: Understanding the Client’s Needs
No. 1: Domain Challenge
The client already had a .co.ke domain but wanted to transition to a .com domain to establish a broader, more recognizable brand identity. Ensuring this shift did not disrupt the user experience or compromise their search engine rankings was essential.
The new domain could confuse users and impact search engine indexing without proper redirection, leading to lower organic reach.
No. 2: Design Vision
The client envisioned a clean, calming, professional website that mirrors the principles of mental wellness. The design needed to convey a sense of trust, safety, and care while remaining easy to navigate.
A key priority was ensuring users could quickly find information about therapy sessions, workshops, and other resources.
No. 3: Functionality Requirements
Functionality played a central role in the project. The website needed to be:
- Mobile Responsive: Accessible and fully functional across devices.
- SEO Optimized: Designed to rank well on search engines and be easily indexed.
- User-Friendly Inquiry Form: Provide a simple, accessible way for visitors to inquire about therapy services or workshops.
- Fast: the design needed to take the shortest time possible to load, even to known visitors.
Step 2. Our Implementation: Crafting a Seamless Solution
Domain Setup & Redirection
To address the domain challenge, we implemented a 301 redirect from the .co.ke domain to the new .com domain. This type of redirect is essential because it tells search engines that the website has permanently moved, preserving search rankings and preventing broken links.
We carefully mapped all pages to their corresponding new locations, ensuring that visitors who accessed the old domain were seamlessly directed to the updated site.
Custom Website Design
Creating a website that reflects a sense of calm and trust requires a thoughtful design process. We prioritized a user-first approach by focusing on clarity, simplicity, and a soothing visual aesthetic.
To ensure consistency and accessibility, we designed the layout to be responsive across all devices. Whether users accessed the site from a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, they would experience the same smooth navigation and easy access to information.
Calming colors – We settled on the #4B6F50 color with the client’s approval. This green color creates a calming, inviting experience for the website visitors.
Website Content – We crafted high-quality content that directly addresses the client’s pain points. The clean typography creates a welcoming digital environment.
Navigation and Menu – Streamlined to allow quick access to key areas, including therapy services, workshops, and resources.
Service & Portfolio Showcase
We created dynamic sections highlighting the full range of therapy sessions and workshops. Each section was designed to be easily navigable, with clear calls to action guiding users toward booking or learning more.
The content structure was also built with scalability in mind, allowing the client to add or update services as their offerings evolve. This flexibility ensures the website can grow alongside the business without requiring major redesigns.
SEO & Search Engine Indexing
Optimizing the site for search engines was a priority to ensure it could be found by those seeking mental health services. We researched keywords to identify relevant search terms for mental wellness, therapy, and workshops.
We integrated these keywords strategically across the website, from page titles and headings to meta descriptions and alt tags. To facilitate accurate and efficient indexing, we also configured the Google Search Console and submitted the updated sitemap, ensuring search engines could easily crawl and index the new site.
Step 3. Outcomes & Results
The collaborative process and tailored solutions led to several key outcomes:
- Improved Brand Identity: Successfully established The HealingNest Hub as the primary domain, reinforcing the brand’s credibility and reach.
- Enhanced User Experience: Delivered a fast, responsive, intuitive website that reflects the client’s values and facilitates easy access to essential services.
- Increased Visibility: The site’s proper SEO setup and indexing on Google improved search performance, making it easier for potential clients to discover the platform.
