The brief
Olivier runs a small cobbler's shop on rue Tillemont. His site had charm — a mascot, a strong pink — but it didn't help anyone decide to bring him a pair of boots.
What wasn't working
The home page opened on “On répare plein de trucs, surtout des chaussures.” and little else. No list of services, no prices, no way to call from the first screen.
Hours and address were further down the page, and a cookie banner covered the bottom of the screen on arrival, on a phone almost half of it.
The redesign
The first screen now answers the practical questions: whether the shop is open right now, the address with free parking, the hours, Instagram, and buttons to call or get directions.
Services are listed one by one with a starting price, and the free in-store evaluation is stated plainly. Vibram soles and designer pieces get their own space, since those are what set Olivier apart.
A real repair — Guidi boots, from worn sole to new — shows the work instead of describing it. The site is also available in English.
I kept his identity: the mascot and the hand-drawn logo stay, with a softer, warmer palette around them.
