Website Design for Tulua Health

Displeased with their "starter site," Tulua Health commissioned me for a clean, modern website design.

Summary

The original Tulua Health website was extremely simple, lacking the coordinated branding you hope to see with a business's website. My approach to this website design was to give it a soothing, calming, reassuring vibe. I also aimed to more clearly highlight some of Tulua's unique offerings, including an on-site Executive Chef that clients can't stop raving about.

Objectives

Youthful without being juvenile

Chic, stylish, but approachable

Balance SEO with user experience

Highlight SoCal elements
