Hi Sherry,
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for giving me the opportunity to take a deeper look at Solstice BioSpa. I have organized this proposal to bring the visual direction, Spa ↔ Resort relationship, operational improvements, SEO, Google infrastructure, and implementation options into one clear plan, so the recommendations are easy to review and the next steps are easy to evaluate.
Solstice BioSpa at Soap Lake Resort
Executive Overview & Brand-Aligned Direction
This proposal establishes an actionable digital optimization blueprint for Solstice BioSpa. Grounded in Solstice BioSpa’s market positioning, the design framework transitions away from default CMS components toward a bespoke design system built on mineral calm, premium restraint, archival elegance, and intentional spatial rhythm.
Visual Identity & Spatial Grid
Visual Identity & Spatial Grid
Utilizing wide-bleed margins, mineral tone palettes (quartz, muted clay, slate), and custom serif-to-sans-serif typography scaling to convey luxury without visual noise.
Compliance & Medical Styling
Custom legal and medical disclaimer callouts styled into highlighted, archival blockquote containers integrated directly into treatment pages and footer templates.
What This Proposal Brings Together
This revised document brings the visual, operational, growth, and implementation strategy into one connected plan, making it easier to review how each recommendation supports the overall Solstice BioSpa experience.
Brand Aesthetics & Legal Integration
Designed legal disclaimer blocks styled into archival blockquotes across treatment pages and footer sections, framed by a high-contrast serif and mineral-tone design system.
Media & Custom Animation Roadmap
Full layout integration for your upcoming professional photos/videos (arriving around the 20th), featuring custom Lottie micro-animations for the BioCore AI robot arm, red-light/crystal ambient glow effects, and a dynamic gallery under “About Us.”
Spa ↔ Resort Ecosystem
Structured funnel routing that separates outside day-visitors from staying resort guests (unlocking room add-ons and package perks), contextual cross-selling links, and a scalable backend ready for the future Auburn location.
Back-End Velo Operations
Custom database logic for dynamic booking state management, automated equipment sanitization/rest buffers, and instant CRM lead routing.
Project-Based SEO & Ongoing Growth
A clear separation between one-time SEO setup, a combined redesign + SEO launch option, and optional monthly growth retainers, alongside Google Business Profile, GA4, Search Console, and search advertising infrastructure.
Clear Engagement & Investment Options
The updated 7-page audit is now mapped into an easy decision sequence: website redesign first, SEO as a separate project, a combined redesign + SEO launch package, and an optional monthly retainer for ongoing growth.
Media & Animation Integration Strategy
With professional photography and videography arriving on the 20th of this month, the visual interface will be built to frame high-resolution assets with responsive, performance-first micro-interactions.
BioCore AI Robot Arm Micro-Animations
Custom Lottie/SVG vector animations illustrating the precise, quiet movements of the BioCore AI therapy arm as users scroll through technology sections.
Red-Light & Crystal Glow Effects
Subtle CSS canvas ambient glow triggers simulating red-light therapy wave pulses and amethyst crystal radiance upon hover or scroll focus.
"About Us" Archival Gallery
A multi-tier layout gallery featuring historical Soap Lake photography, interactive lightboxes, category sorting (Mineral History, Therapy Suites, Grounds), and seamless background video loops.
Performance Optimization
Automated WebP/AVIF image delivery, video lazy-loading, and container compression to ensure fast load times across desktop and mobile devices.
Business Architecture: Spa ↔ Resort Ecosystem
The digital strategy establishes a clear functional division between Soap Lake Resort (the overarching informational and lodging anchor) and Solstice BioSpa (the transactional, operational execution engine).
- Dual Visitor Funnels: Separate booking routing for outside day-visitors (direct 7-stage circuit access and day bundles) versus staying resort guests (unlocking room-integration discounts and priority scheduling).
- Cross-Sell Engine: Contextual booking modules embedded across resort room pages, automated confirmation email links, and seasonal cross-promotions (Digital Detox Stay, Coulee Explorer).
- Multi-Location Scalability: Database logic architected from day one to seamlessly toggle between Soap Lake and future expansions, such as the upcoming Auburn location.
Website Architecture & Global Navigation System
Global Header & Header UX
Global Footer & Lead Capture
Detailed Page-by-Page Optimization Blueprint
01
Spa Menu & Specials / Bundles Page
⌄
Spa Menu & Specials / Bundles Page
- Hero Banner: Adjust hero overlay opacity to improve readability of "Build Your Solstice Spa Day in Soap Lake". Align primary and secondary CTAs ("Reserve a Bundle" vs "Get a Custom Quote") in a responsive horizontal flexbox.
- Featured Day Packages Cards: Standardize card heights, border radii, and internal padding. Align pricing tags ($165, $175, $320) and CTA buttons across all package options.
- Featured Specials Grid: Convert the 3x2 grid into an adaptive single-column stack on mobile viewports. Standardize image aspect ratios to 16:9 for visual consistency.
- 5-Step Process Timeline: Reformat text-dense horizontal steps into icon-anchored stage cards with high-contrast accent borders.
- Value Breakdown & FAQ: Replace static text with a dynamic comparative card (Book Separately $179 vs. Day Pass Bundle $165). Convert static FAQs into expandable Wix Accordion components.
02Retreats & Venues Pricing Page
⌄
Retreats & Venues Pricing Page
- Hero Section: Increase top padding around "Stays, retreats & celebrations" to create vertical breathing room against the sticky header.
- Pricing Cards Layout: Restructure asymmetrical cards into a unified 3x2 grid with consistent hover effects and clear bulleted feature lists.
- Wellness Add-ons & Quote Request: Consolidate repeated add-on mentions into an organized pricing table. Elevate the "Request a Custom Quote" block with a distinct mineral accent container.
03Rooms & Suites / Lodging Page
⌄
Rooms & Suites / Lodging Page
- Signature Suites Cards: Balance button visual weights between Executive Suite #32 and The Beach House ("VIEW DETAILS" vs "BOOK NOW").
- Cabins & Cottages Gallery: Refine irregular grid photo galleries into balanced 2-column or 3-column responsive galleries with lightbox capabilities.
- Historic Inn Section: Organize room tiers (Economy, King, Double-Queen) into tabbed interfaces to reduce page scroll depth. Correct photo grid alignment across outdoor amenity photography.
04The Crystal Café Menu Page
⌄
The Crystal Café Menu Page
- Menu Grid Formatting: Restructure culinary offerings (Earth Ritual Grain Bowl, Zen Zucchini Carpaccio) into a clean 2-column menu layout with right-aligned pricing ($9–$17).
- Categorization & Badging: Add subtle dietary tags (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Bio-Active). Separate Herbal Infusions and Bio-Active Waters into distinct visual menu cards.
05Our Story Page
⌄
Our Story Page
- Typography & Narrative Flow: Adjust header scales for "The Solstice Story..." to establish immediate editorial authority.
- Five Core Principles: Format core tenets (Simplicity, Stillness, Mineral Intelligence, Light, Restoration) into stylized visual cards rather than dense paragraph text.
- Conversion Integration: Insert a mid-page callout banner featuring a direct "BOOK YOUR EXPERIENCE" button linking to the booking engine.
06Blog / Science Articles Page
⌄
Blog / Science Articles Page
- Card & Feed Layout: Standardize card container heights, thumbnail cropping, and line-clamp settings for post titles. Align metadata (Author, Date, Read Time) cleanly across all cards.
- Category Navigation: Implement category filter pills (All Posts, Solstice Journal, Science & Tech) above the main grid.
- Medical Disclaimer: Encase mandatory health disclaimers in a highlighted blockquote container situated directly above the footer.
07FAQ Page
⌄
FAQ Page
- Accordion Conversion: Replace 2-column static text blocks with interactive, expandable accordion widgets to reduce mobile scroll length by 60%.

Back-End Operations & Automations Architecture
Behind the visual interface, dynamic Wix Velo backend logic turns the website into an operational dashboard for daily management.
WIX VELO BACK-END AUTOMATION LOGIC

CRM & Notification Workflows
Instant lead distribution for group retreat inquiries, automated SMS/Email intake reminder workflows, and staff scheduling integrations.
SEO Priorities for Solstice BioSpa
The search strategy is built around Solstice BioSpa's current positioning in Soap Lake: mineral wellness, the Solstice Circuit, BioCore AI Therapy, restorative technology, retreats, rooms & suites, and the wider relationship with Soap Lake Resort. The objective is to make the site easier to discover, easier for Google to understand, and easier for visitors to convert from search.
Keyword & Search-Intent Architecture
Map high-intent local and regional search themes to the correct pages, including Soap Lake spa and mineral wellness searches, wellness spa in Washington, mineral bath and mineral-water experiences, BioCore AI Therapy, PEMF and red-light recovery experiences, wellness retreats, group retreats, and resort-connected wellness stays. Each target should have a clear destination page rather than competing across multiple pages.
On-Page SEO & Conversion Copy
Refine page titles, meta descriptions, H1/H2 hierarchy, service copy, FAQs, image alt text, and calls to action so each core page explains both what Solstice offers and why a search visitor should take the next step. Wellness wording should remain brand-led and carefully framed so search optimization does not introduce unsupported medical claims.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Strengthen NAP consistency, Google Business Profile information, services, photos, booking links, categories, review signals, and local relevance around Soap Lake and primary Washington drive markets. The goal is to connect map visibility with the same services and conversion paths used on the website.
Technical SEO & Indexation
Review indexability, XML sitemap, robots directives, canonical URLs, broken links, redirect requirements, duplicate or thin pages, mobile performance, Core Web Vitals, image delivery, and crawl paths. Any redesign work should preserve valuable URLs where possible and use a redirect map where URLs change.
Schema & Search Understanding
Implement structured data where appropriate for the organization/location, services, articles, breadcrumbs, FAQs, events or retreats, and other eligible page types. The purpose is to give search engines a cleaner understanding of Solstice BioSpa's services, content relationships, and location without over-marking pages.
Internal Linking & Spa ↔ Resort Search Flow
Create deliberate internal paths between the Solstice Circuit, BioCore AI Therapy, spa experiences, retreats, Crystal Café, rooms & suites, and relevant Soap Lake Resort content. This supports both visitor discovery and search-engine understanding while keeping the Spa and Resort identities distinct.
Content Authority & Editorial Growth
Develop useful search-led content around Soap Lake's mineral heritage, how the Solstice journey works, wellness technology education, retreat planning, seasonal experiences, and visitor preparation. Content should answer real pre-booking questions and naturally lead readers toward the appropriate service, retreat, or booking page.
Measurement & Conversion Tracking
Use GA4 and Search Console to measure organic landing-page performance and configure conversion events for booking-engine clicks, inquiry submissions, retreat leads, and phone interactions. SEO reporting should focus on visibility, qualified traffic, engagement, and booking actions rather than rankings alone.
Google Infrastructure & Search Advertising Setup
Complete configuration of Google analytics and campaign assets for initial launch readiness:
Google Business Profile (GBP)
Profile setup, verification management, visual asset uploads, and category targeting (Day Spa, Wellness Center, Health Resort).
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) & Search Console (GSC)
Full property integration, XML sitemap submission, custom conversion event tracking (booking engine link clicks, lead form submissions, phone call clicks).
Google Ads Setup (Search Engine Infrastructure)
- Search campaign hierarchy built for high-intent query terms ("mineral baths Washington", "Soap Lake spa packages", "PEMF therapy resort").
- Geo-targeting radiuses mapped to primary drive markets (Seattle, Spokane, Tri-Cities) with negative keyword filters applied.
Choose the Direction That Matches the Current Priority
The options below are separated by purpose so you can choose the level of support that makes the most sense now. Website redesign, one-time SEO, the combined launch package, and ongoing monthly growth are different engagements. You do not need to select everything at once.
A Simple Way to Choose
If the main priority is visual improvement, start with a redesign package. If the current website can remain but search visibility needs attention, choose SEO only. If you want the strongest launch foundation, combine the complete redesign with SEO. The monthly retainer is optional and is designed for ongoing growth after the initial project is complete.
Choose the Basic Website Redesign for focused UX, mobile, visual consistency, media placement, and conversion improvements.
Choose the Complete Redesign when you also want custom animation, richer media, and approved Wix Velo logic.
Choose the SEO & Google Search Foundation for one-time search, technical, local, schema, analytics, and content-planning work.
Choose the Combined Launch Package so design, URLs, content, tracking, technical SEO, and conversion paths are planned together.
Choose a Monthly Growth Retainer only if ongoing SEO, content, local visibility, monitoring, CRO, and reporting are needed.
Website Redesign Packages
For improving the visual presentation, usability, mobile experience, media layout, and conversion flow while keeping the Solstice brand and current business structure at the center of the redesign.
Option 1: Basic Website Redesign
A focused redesign for the highest-impact presentation and usability issues identified in the audit, without rebuilding the website into a heavily customized operational system.
- Navigation & page hierarchy: simplify the visitor path so Spa experiences, rooms, retreats, specials, café, story, and booking actions are easier to understand.
- Visual consistency: standardize typography, spacing, cards, buttons, image ratios, section widths, and the mineral-tone visual system across core pages.
- Mobile refinement: correct crowded layouts, long text blocks, CTA placement, galleries, pricing cards, and FAQ presentation for smaller screens.
- Conversion improvements: make primary actions such as booking the Solstice Circuit, requesting a retreat quote, exploring rooms, and contacting the Spa more visible and consistent.
- Media placement: integrate the best new photography and video into the existing page structure with performance-conscious image sizing and responsive presentation.
- SEO-safe redesign foundation: retain useful URLs where possible, preserve crawlable content, clean up heading hierarchy on redesigned sections, improve image alt text and internal links, and avoid design changes that could unnecessarily weaken current search visibility.
- Basic performance hygiene: optimize image sizing, reduce unnecessary layout weight, and keep the mobile experience search-friendly while visual updates are implemented.
Option 2: Complete Website Redesign + Custom Animation & Logic
A full visual and functional redesign for a more distinctive premium experience, including custom motion, advanced page behavior, and operational logic where it adds practical value.
- Everything in the Basic Redesign: all navigation, visual, mobile, conversion, media, performance, and SEO-safe implementation improvements are included.
- Full page-by-page redesign: rebuild the major layouts and visual rhythm across the audited pages rather than limiting changes to surface-level styling.
- Custom animation system: integrate refined Lottie/SVG motion, BioCore AI robot-arm micro-interactions, red-light/crystal glow effects, scroll reveals, and motion that supports the premium brand rather than distracting from it.
- Custom Wix Velo logic: build approved logic for booking-state handling, service structures, inquiry routing, equipment buffers, intake workflows, or other custom operational requirements that cannot be handled cleanly with standard Wix components.
- Advanced media experience: create richer photo/video storytelling, lightboxes, galleries, archival sections, and responsive media behavior around the new professional assets.
- Performance + SEO integration: optimize image/video delivery, semantic page structure, crawlable content, internal linking, heading hierarchy, and technical foundations while the redesign is being built.
- Launch protection: review important existing URLs and page relationships before structural changes so redesign decisions do not create avoidable SEO loss.
SEO & Google Search Foundation
This option is for improving search visibility and measurement without requiring a full visual redesign. It focuses on the current Solstice BioSpa site structure, local relevance, core service themes, technical foundations, and conversion tracking.
Keyword & Page Mapping
Research and map the strongest search themes to the correct pages, including Soap Lake mineral wellness, Washington spa searches, Solstice Circuit experiences, BioCore AI Therapy, PEMF/red-light recovery, retreats, group wellness stays, and related high-intent terms.
On-Page Optimization
Optimize titles, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, important service copy, FAQs, image alt text, anchor text, and conversion language across the agreed core pages while preserving Solstice's premium tone.
Technical SEO
Review sitemap, indexing, robots directives, canonical URLs, broken links, duplicate/thin content, mobile crawlability, page speed, image delivery, and redirect requirements, with fixes applied within the approved scope.
Local Search & GBP
Align website NAP details with Google Business Profile, strengthen local service/location relevance, improve booking and contact links, organize photos and services, and support map visibility around Soap Lake and relevant Washington drive markets.
Schema & Search Structure
Add appropriate structured data for the organization/location, services, breadcrumbs, FAQs, articles, and eligible events or retreat content so search engines can better interpret the site's entities and page relationships.
Internal Linking & Resort Connection
Connect the Solstice Circuit, BioCore AI Therapy, spa menu, retreats, rooms & suites, café, story, and relevant Soap Lake Resort pages with intentional internal and cross-site links while keeping each brand's role clear.
GA4, Search Console & Conversions
Configure or refine analytics and Search Console, submit the sitemap, and track meaningful actions such as booking-engine clicks, inquiry forms, retreat leads, and phone clicks so future SEO decisions are tied to business outcomes.
Content Growth Roadmap
Create a prioritized content plan around mineral heritage, visitor preparation, wellness technology education, retreat planning, seasonal experiences, and decision-stage questions that can support future organic growth without overusing medical claims.
Complete Redesign + SEO Launch Package
This is the most comprehensive project-based option: the new website experience and the search foundation are planned together so design decisions, content, URLs, conversion paths, analytics, and technical SEO support the same launch strategy from the beginning.
Complete Visual & UX Redesign
Includes the complete redesign direction, responsive refinement, premium typography and spacing, custom media presentation, conversion-focused page structure, and approved custom animations.
Custom Velo & Operational Logic
Includes the approved custom logic required for dynamic service structures, booking-state management, equipment buffers, inquiry routing, CRM workflows, or other agreed Spa operations.
SEO Built Into the Redesign
Keyword mapping, on-page optimization, heading structure, internal linking, image SEO, structured data, technical crawlability, and local relevance are incorporated while pages are being redesigned instead of added after launch.
URL Preservation & Redirect Planning
Existing URLs are reviewed before launch, valuable pages are preserved where practical, and a 301 redirect map is prepared for any changed URLs to reduce avoidable loss of search equity.
Spa ↔ Resort Funnel Integration
Design, content, and SEO links are coordinated so day visitors, resort guests, retreat prospects, and room shoppers can move between Solstice BioSpa and Soap Lake Resort without confusing the separate brand roles.
Google & Measurement Infrastructure
GA4, Search Console, sitemap submission, conversion events, Google Business Profile alignment, and the base search-ad infrastructure are prepared around the final live-site structure.
Launch QA
Final review includes mobile/desktop behavior, forms, booking paths, tracking, indexing controls, metadata, schema validation, redirects, broken links, and key performance checks before and immediately after launch.
Post-Launch SEO Roadmap
After the launch foundation is complete, a prioritized roadmap identifies what should be handled through internal updates, future project work, or the optional monthly growth retainer.
Ongoing Search Growth, Content & Conversion Support
The monthly retainer begins after the website and initial SEO foundation are stable. It is designed for continuous search growth, content publishing, local visibility, monitoring, testing, and incremental conversion improvements—not for major redesigns or large new development projects.

- Reporting: detailed monthly reporting tied to organic visibility, qualified inquiries, booking-engine clicks, content performance, and next actions.
Tier 3: Enterprise & Multi-Location

- Content: 4 search-led articles/content assets per month across education, services, retreats, authority building, and location growth.
- Advanced CRO: deeper funnel review using heatmaps/behavioral data where available, recurring testing, and conversion prioritization.

Thank you, Sherry.
Thank you again for your trust and clear direction. I am looking forward to refining this plan with you and moving ahead with the approach that best supports Solstice BioSpa and its connection with Soap Lake Resort.
