What We Actually Built for a Luxury Wellness Spa
When this luxury wellness spa came to us, they were running their business across five disconnected platforms — ClickFunnels at $127/month, Squarespace at $65/month, plus hours of manual work every week on social media and client follow-ups.
Here’s exactly what we built and why.
The website: 15 pages in Astro
We replaced the Squarespace site with a custom 15-page website built in Astro — the same framework powering this blog. The result:
- $0/month hosting on Cloudflare Pages (vs. $65/month on Squarespace)
- Sub-second load times — static HTML, no server rendering
- SEO-optimized with proper meta tags, schema markup, and semantic HTML
- Mobile-first responsive design built for the luxury wellness audience
The site includes a main spa section, a corporate wellness sub-site with three service tiers, a membership portal (“Join the Tribe”), and an SEO blog — all under one domain.
The automation: 11 workflows running 24/7
This is where the real value lives. Using n8n (self-hosted, ~$6/month), we built 11 automation workflows:
- Booking confirmation — instant email + SMS when a client books
- 24-hour follow-up — automated check-in after appointments
- Review request — timed request sent 2 days post-visit
- Lead nurturing — 5-email sequence for new contacts
- Social publishing — content queue across 4 platforms
- Daily dashboard — Slack briefing every morning at 8 AM
- New lead alert — instant Slack notification when a form is submitted
- Membership onboarding — welcome sequence for new members
- Re-engagement — automated outreach to clients inactive 30+ days
- Corporate wellness intake — form submission to CRM + follow-up
- Weekly performance digest — metrics summary every Monday
Each workflow was custom-designed for the client’s specific business logic — not a template or preset.
The dashboard: one place for everything
Every morning at 8 AM, a Slack message arrives with:
- Yesterday’s bookings and revenue
- New leads and form submissions
- Social media engagement across all platforms
- Any items requiring attention or approval
No more logging into five different dashboards. No more wondering what happened while you slept. The business reports to you.
