Why it was failing

Why it was failing

The site had content but no clarity, inconsistent branding, unclear services, and no visible coach left users unable to understand what was offered, trust who was behind it, or take any meaningful action. Visitors left before they could become clients

Turnstone Wellness is a health and wellness coaching service struggling to convert website visitors into bookings. Through heuristic evaluation and user interviews, it became clear the existing site wasn't building the trust or clarity users needed to take action.

Designing a clear user journey to guide conversion and value

Designing a clear user journey to guide conversion and value

To address the lack of a clear conversion path, I mapped the user flow around three key goals: exploring services, building trust, and staying connected

Active navigation state exists but is too subtle to guide users effectively

Relying on email as CTA creates friction at the moment of conversion

Services buried below the fold with no visual distinction between offerings

Coach-first framing leads with mission instead of user benefit

Previous Solution: Home Page

No hero or hook, page starts mid-content with no orientation

Generic nav labels don't guide users toward booking

Dense, unstructured text no visual hierarchy to guide the eye

No coach story users don't know who they would be working with

Previous Solution: Coaching Page

BEFORE

Flat, undifferentiated all pages at the same level

Coach presence, creating a connection with client quickly and social proof of the work

Coach introduced early to build trust and credibility before users reach services

Structured service comparison reduces cognitive load and supports confident decision-making

Social proof nudge reduces decision paralysis

"The site feels calm and trustworthy. I don’t feel pressured to sign up right away, which actually makes me more open to exploring what the coaching is about."

What would I do next

What would I do next

The redesign addressed the core problems identified in discovery, but there's always room to go further. If time and budget allowed, I would focus on

  1. Introducing subtle motion to enhance delight and guide attention, while preserving the site’s calm, trustworthy tone.

  2. Exploring Framer as a build environment to unlock richer interactions beyond what Wix currently allows.

  3. Reframing coaching stories into structured, in-depth case examples to help users better understand outcomes.

  4. Conducting a more rigorous usability study post-launch with users to validate whether the redesign meaningfully improved booking confidence and task completion and building on the initial pre-launch testing
