About the Client

Hair By Henry is a professional mobile hairdressing business serving ladies and gents across Bristol, Portishead, Clevedon and Almondsbury. The business provides salon quality hairdressing services in the comfort of the client's home, using professional products for every appointment.

Like many successful local businesses, Hair By Henry had built an excellent reputation through word of mouth and repeat customers. However, the website no longer reflected the quality of the business or supported its future growth.

The Challenge

Henry approached Web Choice after receiving a referral. His existing website was outdated, difficult to use on mobile devices and no longer generated the level of enquiries the business needed.

The project had several clear objectives:

Client - Hair By Henry - Web Choice
  • 01Replace the outdated website with a modern design.
  • 02Create a mobile friendly experience for customers.
  • 03Increase enquiries from Google.
  • 04Improve visibility in AI powered search platforms such as ChatGPT.
  • 05Make it easier for customers to contact the business.
  • 06Launch the website as quickly as possible.

After comparing several agencies, Hair By Henry selected Web Choice because of our customer reviews, competitive pricing and the value we offered.

Our Solution

Using our RAID (Rapid Application & Interface Development) framework, we designed, developed and launched a completely new website in just 3 business days.

The project focused on far more than visual improvements. Every page was designed to help visitors find information quickly, build confidence in the business and encourage them to make contact.

Our work included:

Complete website redesign

Responsive mobile first development

WordPress CMS

Clear service pages

Simple navigation

Click to Call functionality

Easy to use enquiry forms

Technical SEO

Local SEO foundations

AI Search Optimisation (AEO)

Performance optimisation

Conversion focused page layouts

The website was built to provide an excellent experience across desktops, tablets and smartphones while supporting visibility in both traditional search engines and AI powered search.

Results

The impact of the new website was immediate.

More Customer Enquiries

According to the client, there were many days before the redesign when the website generated no calls at all.

Following the launch of the new website, Hair By Henry reported receiving around two enquiries every day, adding up to well over a dozen enquiries each week. The client stated that this improvement began as soon as the new website went live.

A Better Mobile Experience

The previous website was difficult to use on mobile devices.

Following the redesign, the client reported that the website now works perfectly on smartphones and tablets, which is particularly important because most customers discover the business using mobile devices. The new website offers:

  • Fast loading pages
  • Responsive layouts
  • Clear navigation
  • Easy access to contact information
  • A straightforward enquiry process

Improved Online Visibility

The client also reported improvements in online visibility.

Following the launch, the website began appearing in local searches for mobile hairdressers in Bristol. The client also confirmed that the business could now be found through AI search tools such as ChatGPT, helping more potential customers discover the business.

Project Management

Hair By Henry praised the way the project was managed from start to finish.

As a mobile hairdresser, Henry spends much of the day travelling between appointments. Because of this, communication needed to be quick and convenient.

Most communication took place through WhatsApp and email, allowing questions to be answered promptly without interrupting the working day.

According to the client, every stage of the project was delivered on time. Any requested changes were completed quickly, progress was communicated clearly and the overall process was much easier than expected.

Client Feedback


The biggest change was mobile. My old website did not work on phones at all, and now it opens perfectly on mobile, which is where almost all of my customers find me.
— Henry, Hair By Henry
Before the redesign there were days when the site brought in no calls whatsoever. Now I am getting around two enquiries every day, which adds up to well over a dozen a week that I simply was not getting before.
The project management was spot on. Everything was delivered on time and I always knew exactly where things were up to.
Web Choice made sure mine actually shows up when people search, not only on Google but on the AI tools like ChatGPT. I had never even heard of that before.
Honestly, nothing comes to mind. The whole job was handled exactly how I would have wanted. If anything, I wish I had come to them sooner.

The keyword research, content and targeting has taken us from just 100 organic keywords to almost 2000 in under a year, we also rank on the 1st page for numerous keywords when before we'd be languishing on page 3, 4 or more! Inbound leads are up and our bookings have been fuller than ever. I would thoroughly recommend speaking to Web Choice to see if they can help you with SEO."
