Shy's Henna ArtWebsite build

A site drawn with one line.

Henna keeps changing after the client leaves: dark paste, then bright orange, then a deep stain. The site is built around that, with one henna line running from her cone to the inquiry form.

The problem

The old site read like a generic luxury template. Her real work sat among everything else, nothing explained how events or bridal bookings worked, and every inquiry started from a blank contact form.

01

One line runs the whole site.

A bead of paste appears at the tip of her cone, then the line leaves the photo, curls under the headline and runs down every page until it ends at the inquiry. On phones it becomes the underline.

02

Her work is the exhibit.

Her real pieces get the largest images on the site, in a dark gallery room with numbered captions and a frame drawn around each one. Mood photos stay elsewhere, so it's always clear which work is hers.

03

A page clients come back to.

Aftercare explains how the stain develops and lists what to do and what to avoid for the darkest result, so clients have a reason to return after every appointment.

Inquiries arrive complete.

The inquiry form asks for the occasion, date, location, guest count and details, and each one lands in her GoHighLevel pipeline. She can reply with availability without a round of questions first.

How it was built

Astro, hand-written CSS and SVG motion, and a GoHighLevel inquiry form and pipeline.

  • Motion follows how henna is applied: outline, then fill, then dots
  • With reduced motion, every page shows already drawn
  • The gallery shows only her own work on real clients

What happens when someone gets in touch

  1. Someone shares the date, occasion, location and guest count
  2. It lands in her GoHighLevel pipeline
  3. She replies with her availability

What the client said

Riz pays close attention to intricate details that are meaningful to his clients, and it really shows in his work.
