Avalon Day Spa & Barber, Winkler

Two locations, one owner, and a web presence that was quietly failing her. Work in progress — and we're publishing it as we go, because the evidence is the point.

What we found (verified September 2026)
FindingWhat it meant
The spa's homepage had said "Coming Soon" since at least Sept 4Customers landing on the site thought the business was closed or unready. Her real service pages existed behind the shell — nobody could reach them.
The barber business had no website at all — its domain didn't even resolveAn entire second business was invisible online, findable only through a link buried on the spa site.
Her .com domain was parked for sale on GoDaddyType her name into the browser and you'd find someone selling her domain — or worse.
Two separate paid booking systems, plus a booking page that pushed customers to competitorsDuplication, dead ends, and money out the door every month for systems that didn't talk to each other.
~$500–600/month leaving for website + bookingFor a site that told customers nothing.

What we're doing

The math (checked against her real situation)

Figures from her current providers' published pricing, to be confirmed against her actual invoices before we promise a dollar. We don't use invented savings numbers — receipts over adjectives.

Why we're telling you this mid-project

Because it's true, and because you might be living the same story: paying monthly for a web presence that isn't working and you don't own. If that sounds familiar, the first conversation is free and we'll show you — with evidence — what's actually happening with your site, no obligation.

Is this you?

Signs you're overpaying: your homepage is outdated or "under construction", your webmaster owns the domain, you can't name what your monthly bill pays for, or your customers say they "couldn't find" you.
