Queen Braids Studio
A bilingual braiding salon and hair-care shop website, designed, built and optimised for speed and accessibility on every device.
The problem
Queen Braids Studio's premium bilingual website was slow on mobile, where prospective customers browse services and consider booking. The original mobile PageSpeed performance score was 56 and accessibility was 83.
Research & diagnosis
My audit identified heavy image assets and accessibility issues involving contrast, form labels and heading order. I focused on improving the technical experience without changing the visual direction of the site.
Strategy
I prioritised changes with the clearest effect on loading, accessibility and usability, while preserving the established brand presentation and bilingual customer experience.
What I implemented
- Converted 24 images to WebP to reduce asset weight.
- Prioritised the hero image and self-hosted the fonts.
- Improved contrast and added or corrected form labels.
- Corrected heading order while preserving the visual design.
- Retained the bilingual customer experience.
