The Opportunity

As Central Oregon's most experienced body piercing studio, Trend Kill had built a strong reputation through exceptional craftsmanship, trusted expertise, and a loyal community. However, its existing website no longer reflected the quality of the in-studio experience. An outdated design, limited mobile usability, and aging content made it difficult for new visitors to fully appreciate the studio's professionalism and unique personality.

Beyond modernizing the website, the project presented an opportunity to create a more engaging digital experience that better showcased Trend Kill's talented team, extensive piercing portfolio, and growing merchandise offerings. The website also needed to strengthen credibility through client testimonials while making it easier for visitors to explore services, discover aftercare resources, and connect with the studio.

The long-term objective was to create a modern, mobile-first digital presence that authentically reflected Trend Kill's bold identity while supporting future growth. By combining thoughtful website strategy, custom development, search optimization, and a seamless online merchandise experience, the new platform would reinforce Trend Kill's position as Central Oregon's premier body piercing studio.

Strategic Approach

Trend Kill's website redesign was guided by a single objective: create a digital experience that reflects the same confidence, craftsmanship, and professionalism clients experience when they walk through the studio's doors. Every decision—from user experience and visual design to search optimization and content organization—was made to strengthen the studio's online presence while supporting future growth.

Website Strategy

We restructured the website to create a more intuitive experience for both new and returning visitors. A refined navigation, clearer content hierarchy, and strategic calls-to-action make it easier for users to explore services, learn about the team, and find the information they need.

The page highlights expert body piercing services with a description of available piercings and the studio's walk-in policy.

Portfolio & Content Experience

With more than 300 portfolio images available, showcasing Trend Kill's craftsmanship became a central focus of the redesign. We developed an engaging gallery experience while also highlighting the studio's licensed piercers, client testimonials, and educational resources to build credibility and inspire confidence.

Merch Store Integration

To expand the Trend Kill brand beyond the studio, we seamlessly integrated the online merchandise store provided by the client's fulfillment partner. The experience was designed to feel like a natural extension of the website while creating a unified journey between browsing services and shopping branded apparel.
