## Summary

Sophia relied solely on Instagram and Facebook messages to manage appointments, collect deposits, and communicate with clients. This caused missed inquiries, lost payments, and no record of returning customers. Without a central booking system or website, she lacked visibility outside of walk-ins from the parlors she worked in, limiting her ability to grow or retain her client base. We built a responsive website optimized for client acquisition and retention. The site highlights her portfolio, integrates direct booking and consultation forms, and connects seamlessly to her social platforms. A lightweight CRM was implemented to log client data, track consultations, and automate follow-ups. Each form is tailored to collect the information necessary to convert both high-intent and soft-interest leads while minimizing time spent The new digital system improved client retention by 18% within the first two months and increased consultation conversions by over 40%. Sophia now spends less then half the time responding to inquiries, maintains consistent branding across platforms, and has an organized database of clients she can reach out to for repeat business and promotions. Sun Locke built my site while I was tattooing all day. They took my sketches and turned them into a real brand. Now people can see my flash, read my rules, and book without sending a million DMs. It feels like a grown up version of my business.
