💡 "Don't try to be like Apple unless you have Apple's brand authority" - Greg Merrilees
This insight from Episode 515 explains why so many premium service websites fail to convert.
Greg Merrilees, founder of Studio1 Design, just walked us through a case study that every business owner needs to hear. We transformed Quintessa (a high-end cosmetic surgery center) from a sparse, "clean" website into a conversion powerhouse.
Key breakthrough: When you have a high-ticket service, your brand MUST match that price point. Clean minimalism often reads as cheap or untrustworthy.
The strategic redesign included:
✅ Real team photos (not stock imagery)
✅ Social proof above the fold
✅ Strategic content organization
✅ Conversion-optimized user journeys
Result: Traffic doubled, keyword rankings soared, and lead quality improved dramatically.
Ready to stop leaving money on the table with an under-performing website?
