The brief
Rise Wellness Lounge & Aesthetic Institute is a medical spa in Colorado Springs with its own training school. A partner had handed the owner a template site she called cookie-cutter and depressing. She wanted upscale, modern, confident and results-driven, never girly, never cold-medical, and she had the brand to back it: gold on black, ‘Enhancing Confidence, Elevating Wellness.’
My role
Three homepage concepts built from her own photography, each with a real phone layout. She picked one. Then the whole site: the brand kit as global styles, header and footer, the homepage, three service hubs, 23 treatment pages at their old addresses, a Men’s page, memberships, specials, contact, financing, the concerns hub with 44 cards, policies. A gold motion layer (word-mask reveals, photo reveals, staggered grids, a page wipe) and a seamless header video on six pages. Photo direction and alt text on every image.
The site
Home, desktop
Home, phone
Home, the full page
Fifty-one pages. Every one checked at desktop and phone size, every photo its own, every page with a header video scoring 99 on a phone and 100 on desktop in Lighthouse after the speed pass.
Outcome
Built and reviewed on staging in October 2026; launch follows the client’s go. Fifty-one pages, six header videos, the motion layer, the form, the speed scores.
