Joy Nails & Spa

The salon already runs on Milano Cloud, and their staff already know it. Rebuilding booking would have introduced a second source of truth for appointments and a new system for the team to learn — cost and risk with no upside for the client.

So the site links out to the existing booking portal, and does so from everywhere it might be wanted: the hero, the header, the footer, the mobile nav, the services section, and the Dazzle Dry promo. The integration is a link, and that is the correct amount of engineering.

Salon content — services, hours, address, testimonials — changes rarely, and the client's requests come through SERVITH. A CMS would have added hosting cost, an admin surface, and an attack surface to solve a problem that doesn't exist at this scale. Content lives in typed configuration instead, so a change is a small edit and a redeploy.

The runtime dependency list is next, react, and react-dom. There is no UI library, no animation library, no analytics bundle, and no forms library. Scroll reveals, count-up statistics, and the scroll-to-top control are small custom components rather than reasons to ship a framework.

This is deliberate. A salon site is read on a phone, often on mobile data, often while the visitor is deciding between two nearby options. Payload is a conversion feature.

One config module holds the site URL, business identity, address, phone, Instagram handle, booking URL, and the indexable route list. It feeds metadata, the sitemap, robots, and the JSON-LD component. The address exists once in the codebase, and every place it appears is derived from that one definition.

next/image optimization is disabled and images are pre-optimized at build authoring time by a PowerShell script, with raw sources kept alongside the committed optimized output. A gallery-heavy salon site gets fast images without an optimization server in the request path — which is also what makes a fully static export viable.

For a local business, this is the marketing:

Home sits on its own, and the secondary pages — About, Services, Lookbook, Testimonials, Contact — share a route group layout. The services content mirrors how the salon actually sells: hand care, artificial services, polish changes, foot care, and a dedicated promo for Dazzle Dry, the non-toxic, UV-free, five-minute-drying system the salon partners with.
