City Skin Clinic

Moving a UK skin health and beauty clinic from Wix to a custom-designed WordPress site, with an SEO campaign and Lighthouse-driven performance work.

Overview

cityskinclinic.com

City Skin Clinic is a UK skin health and personalised beauty practice. Its Wix site had been a reasonable start but was now holding the business back. The brief was a complete rebuild: custom design, WordPress in place of Wix, and a structured SEO and performance program aimed at the top of the relevant UK search results. I worked remotely on the design, build and ongoing optimisation.

What we did

  • Custom design from scratch
  • Wix-to-WordPress migration and rebuild
  • SEO campaign for UK search market
  • Lighthouse benchmarking and performance optimisation
  • Mobile-first responsive build

The Project

A UK clinic, brought up to a proper standard.

City Skin Clinic outgrew Wix and needed a well-designed, fast website that could compete in UK search results, built from Australia.

In skin health and beauty, the website is part of the product. Patients choose a clinic partly on what they read and partly on how the site feels in the first few seconds. The Wix site had taken City Skin Clinic only so far: customisation was limited, performance was uneven, and the platform capped how far SEO work could go.

The rebuild was end to end. The custom design focuses on what a patient researching treatments wants: clarity, credibility and a clear next step. The site moved off Wix to WordPress with a custom theme, so every part of it does its job and nothing else.

The SEO work was structured, not ad hoc: page-level keyword targeting for the UK market, on-page optimisation built in, and Lighthouse benchmarking driving the performance work. On a healthcare-adjacent site, a slow page can cost a booking before the visitor has read a word.

With an international client, work runs asynchronously: clear written briefs and shared tools instead of in-person meetings. The engagement worked well because that pattern was set up from the start.
