When spiritual healer and teacher Anis Lahlou needed a professional, user-friendly website to share his transformative classes, workshops, and retreats, he turned to Designs by Tierney. His previous website had been burdened by complexity, poor usability, and maintenance challenges. Our goal was to simplify his digital presence, empower him to easily manage his offerings, and create a clear path for visitors to engage with his work.
The Challenge
Anis’s original website, built years ago by another developer, was overloaded with unnecessary features, outdated plugins, and a complicated backend that made simple tasks nearly impossible. Even basic content edits required navigating a labyrinth of systems. On top of that, large, unoptimized images and distorted video testimonials slowed the site dramatically, harming both user experience and search engine visibility.
Most critically, the site’s complexity made it difficult for Anis to promote and manage his core offerings: classes, workshops, retreats, and healing sessions. Visitors also had to click through multiple pages to find available events, creating confusion and friction.
The Strategy
We rebuilt Anis’s website from the ground up on a clean WordPress foundation, using Elementor Pro (fully licensed) to ensure long-term functionality with no hidden software costs. Key improvements included:
- Streamlined Navigation and UX: We consolidated all offers into a clean “Offers” section on the homepage, featuring images, titles, excerpts, and direct links to detailed pages—making it easy for visitors to understand all available options at a glance.
- Custom Post Types: We created a simple, customized system for Anis to add, edit, and organize his offerings with minimal effort. Through tailored Custom Fields, he can update class descriptions, add book links, and more—without touching complex code.
- Optimized Media: We resized and optimized all images and fixed distorted videos to deliver a fast, visually polished user experience.
- Smart Event Logic: Recognizing that many of Anis’s classes are “on-demand” based on participant interest, we built conditional content displays—including waitlist signups and dynamic messaging—triggered automatically when adding a new offer.
- Training and Empowerment: We recorded customized tutorial videos so Anis could feel confident updating his site on his own.
