Project Overview
In The Vault Cuts is a modern barbershop based in Manchester, known for clean fades and quality grooming. I was approached to redesign their website and give it a more premium and intuitive online presence—one that reflects the brand’s vibe and makes booking a trim effortless.
This project focused on merging sleek visual design with a functional experience tailored for their local audience.

The Problem
The previous website lacked structure, was difficult to navigate, and didn’t reflect the barbershop’s brand identity. Users often struggled to find the booking page, and mobile responsiveness was inconsistent — resulting in lost opportunities.

The Solution
I redesigned the website to bring clarity, style, and function together through:
-
A clean homepage showcasing the shop’s vibe, cuts, and culture
-
A bold, minimal booking flow that reduces friction
-
Mobile-first design for seamless use on any device
-
A professional structure with clear navigation and call-to-actions
Key Features
-
💈 Streamlined Booking – Easy appointment booking integrated directly into the homepage.
-
📸 Visual-first Layout – High-quality imagery of cuts and the barbershop space builds trust and appeal.
-
📍 Google Maps Integration – Helping local clients find the shop quickly and easily.
-
🎯 Call-to-Action Focused – Clear buttons guide users to book, explore, or get in touch.
Design Approach
-
The site uses a bold yet neutral palette that gives it a modern, masculine feel without being too harsh. Fonts were chosen for clarity and style, with strong hierarchy to guide users through each page. Icons and spacing were used to reduce cognitive load while keeping the aesthetic polished.
-
The design adapts fluidly across devices, making sure the mobile experience is just as sharp as the desktop.

Tools used
-
Wix Studio for responsive design and CMS integration
-
Custom image sections to showcase services and gallery
-
Animations and transitions for smooth page interactions
Outcome
The new In The Vault Cuts website offers a professional online presence that matches the barbershop’s high standards. With an improved user journey and sharp visual branding, bookings have become easier to manage — and clients can now experience the same quality online as they do in the chair.
