What we changed, and why

  • The first screen shows a real Bliss appointment and says who Bliss is in one line

    Before: Bliss's current site opens with a muted video and a long paragraph about quality before saying what a visit is like.

    Why: A bride decides in seconds whether a salon is for her. In the redesign she sees the suite, her guests on the sofa, “Fort Worth's largest bridal salon” and a Book button at once, on a phone too.

  • Every way to visit, on one card

    Before: The eight appointment types, their guest limits and fees sit further down a separate page.

    Why: “How do appointments work?” is one of the first things brides compare. The card answers it on the homepage and leads straight to booking.

  • The collection in plain numbers

    Before: The homepage talks about curated designers without naming them or giving a price.

    Why: More than 450 gowns, the designer names, the price ranges and 75+ plus size gowns in sizes 18–26 are what set Bliss apart. Showing them helps a bride, and helps Google match Bliss to the searches she makes.

Kept on purpose: The name, the teal lotus logo, Bliss's own photos of real appointments and its warm voice, including “Quality of Experience. Quality of Service. Quality of Gowns.”, were kept on purpose.
