Website Audit & Optimization Proposal

A clearer, more refined digital experience.

This proposal transforms the initial audit into an actionable, page-by-page optimization blueprint. Built directly on Wix Studio / Editor, it addresses layout density, navigation friction, typography hierarchy, and conversion funnel optimization while preserving the existing Solstice BioSpa brand foundation.

Strategic direction, translated into execution.

A structured Wix optimization plan covering global systems, seven key pages, responsive behavior, conversion paths, and on-page technical and image SEO.

Executive Direction

The optimization focus

The proposed work improves how guests navigate, understand, and act on the website while retaining the resort's existing visual identity and wellness-led positioning.

Navigation clarity

Reduce nested-menu friction and create a clearer intent-based journey across desktop and mobile.

Visual hierarchy

Standardize spacing, typography, cards, grids, and image ratios for a more premium presentation.

Conversion structure

Strengthen CTA hierarchy, quote pathways, booking anchors, and lead-capture visibility throughout the site.

Brand preservation

Refine the experience without replacing the Solstice BioSpa brand foundation, colors, or core positioning.

Website Architecture

Global system improvements

The header, navigation, footer, and lead-capture system form the foundation of every guest journey. Standardizing these global areas will improve consistency across the full website.

Global System 01

Header & Navigation

Current Friction

The primary navigation menu contains nested dropdowns that create friction on mobile devices and distract desktop users.

Proposed Enhancement

Implement intent-based navigation categories and standardize the top header with a sticky container, consistent padding, and one high-contrast primary CTA: “BOOK THE SOLSTICE CIRCUIT.”

Recommended Navigation Structure
The BioSpa Rooms & Suites Retreats & Venues Spa Menu & Specials Crystal Café Our Story
Global System 02

Footer & Lead Capture

Current Friction

The multi-column footer is visually scattered, while newsletter subscription forms lack clear hierarchy and comfortable spacing.

Proposed Enhancement

Standardize the footer into a clean four-column grid with consistent line height, bold subheaders, aligned social icons, and unified brand disclaimer messaging.

Page-by-page improvements

Each page is treated as a distinct guest journey. Open any section below to review the layout, responsiveness, content hierarchy, and conversion refinements proposed for that page.

01

Spa Menu & Specials / Bundles Page

Hero clarity, package cards, responsive specials, process flow, value comparison, and FAQ.

Featured Day Packages Cards

Price / Value Comparison & FAQ

  • Replace static comparison text with a side-by-side table card: “Book Separately” ($179) versus “Day Pass Bundle” ($165).
  • Convert the static FAQ into Wix Accordion elements for easier mobile scrolling.
02

Retreats & Venues Pricing Page

Hero spacing, pricing-card balance, inclusions, add-ons, and a stronger quote pathway.

Hero & Layout Structure

  • Increase top padding on “Stays, retreats & celebrations.” to create visual breathing room below the header.

Pricing Cards Grid Alignment

  • Reorganize the current three-top / two-bottom arrangement into a balanced 3×2 grid with unified card styling and hover states.

Wellness Add-ons & Custom Quote CTA

  • Consolidate duplicate add-on blocks into one structured table covering Halotherapy, PEMF, Cryo, and Amethyst Recovery.
  • Elevate “Request a Custom Quote” using a distinct brand-accent background and high-priority contact-form button.
03

Rooms & Suites / Lodging Page

Hero contrast, consistent suite actions, responsive galleries, amenity tags, tabs, and photo alignment.

Hero & Signature Suites

  • Improve headline contrast over the cabin hero photo.
  • Standardize CTA styling across Executive Suite #32 and Beach House cards, replacing the current “VIEW DETAILS” versus “BOOK NOW” inconsistency.

Cabins & Cottages Gallery Layout

  • Refine irregular image grids into standardized two- or three-column responsive galleries with lightbox functionality.
  • Add clear unit tags such as Units 41–48 and explicit amenity highlights including Kitchenette, Mineral Tubs, and King Beds.

Historic Inn & Photo Mosaic

  • Group Economy, King, and Double-Queen room types into tabs or accordions to reduce page height.
  • Correct mosaic alignment and ensure equal spacing between outdoor and amenity images.

The Crystal Café Menu Page

A more cohesive restaurant presentation with structured menu sections and dietary guidance.

Hero & Menu Formatting

05

Our Story Page

Stronger narrative hierarchy, balanced image-copy flow, core principles, and a direct booking anchor.

Hero & Narrative Flow

  • Adjust the typography scale for “The Solstice Story...” to establish immediate visual hierarchy.

Content Columns & Brand Heritage

  • Balance narrative copy and imagery through alternating two-column layouts covering Legacy, Principles, Heritage, Experts, and Path.

Conversion Anchor

  • Add a dedicated mid-page callout banner with a direct “BOOK YOUR EXPERIENCE” button leading to the reservation system.

  • Style and align Author, Date, Read Time, and Like Count metadata consistently at the bottom of each card.

Filter & Search Bar

  • Add category tags for All Posts, Solstice Journal, and Science & Tech at the top of the feed.

FAQ Page

A shorter mobile journey with grouped accordions and a clear path for unanswered questions.

  • This is expected to reduce mobile page scroll length by approximately 60%.
+ The Solstice Journey + Location & Hours + Reservations & Policies
