Best web design practices for a salon website 
 
To make a good salon website, there are a lot of factors associated with 
it. Given below are some effective factors which, if kept in mind, will 
deliver the best salon website design: 
 
a.      Color palette 
 
One of the most fun aspects of building an effective salon website is the 
color that is used in it. You will find a plethora of information on the 
psychology of colors. According to the color palette, every color is 
associated with a meaning. For example, Pizza Hut and KFC use red to 
stimulate the hunger of the people. Even though the colors used in the 
website are not a conscious decision, they impact a person 
subconsciously and can help a site increase its conversion. 
 
b.     Have a balance between text and images 
 
It is said that a picture speaks a thousand words. Therefore, to make 
your salon website effective and impactful, make sure that each 
paragraph does not have more than four or five sentences, and after 
each paragraph, that has to be a relevant picture. However, too many 
images on a site can make it look clumsy. That is why it is essential to 
create a balance between the images used and the written content. 
 
c.      Layout 
 
To increase the rate of conversion, you will come across a lot of layouts 
that can be incorporated to build a site. Some of the obscure layouts can 
be F or Z shape. While these are the general rules that may work for 
some people, you need not limit yourself. Make sure that the entire 
arrangement is made logically that will guide your reader to the final call 
to action and present them with that piece of information that you want 
them to know. 
 
d.     Mobile devices 
 
You need to choose a website design that is functional on both desktop 
and mobile devices. After the emergence and rise of smartphones, 
people today are more glued to their mobile phones than anything else. 
So why not use this opportunity to ensure that the website functions 
equally well on mobile devices! Also, Google notices those sites that are 
designed to work on multiple platforms.  
 
e.      Typography 
 
The typography of a website brings the feel of a website. Every website 
has a particular type of slant that its typography can better achieve. For 
example, the look of a salon website can be changed entirely by 
changing the typography. Since a salon business has a lot to do with the 
fashion, style, and glamor industry, use stylish typography to impact 
your audience's minds. The typography includes kerning and line height. 
 
f.      Call to action 
 
One of the most impactful yet most ignored aspects of a salon business 
website is the call-to-action or CTA. The call-to-action can range from 
anything in between 'call now' to 'book now.' When writing the CTA, 
there are a few things to be kept in mind. First, there should be at least 
one CTA for every one and a half pages of content. Second, the CTA 
should range between 2 to 4 words. Finally, the color in which you write 
the CTA should contrast with the background color and the website's 
colors. 
 
g.     Community 
 
If you want to bring all your customers together from all the corners of 
the web, your website is the only effective platform. This can be made 
possible by employing social media buttons and providing newsletters to 
your consumers. 
 
h.     Content 
 
Building a salon business website is like purchasing a property. Now, to 
decorate that property, you have to add relevant content to it. This will 
keep your audience glued to your site. One of the most effective means 
of adding content is by having a blog section on your website. 
 
i.       Copy 
 
Web copy falls under the category of content. The only difference 
between a copy and content is copy is a miniature form of content. For 
example, a web copy can include messages that will influence people to 
take your services. While writing copies, make sure it is not too long and 
tedious. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Therefore, having a salon website is an effective means of marketing 
your services. Hence, it is imperative to make a salon website worthy 
enough for people to visit the site, stay in it, and return.
