I would recommend either Webflow or Wix — both reliable, modern platforms that support seamless integration with GlossGenius while offering full design control and secure password-protected pages.
Webflow
Pros:
- Professional-grade customization with pixel-perfect design control
- Clean, fast-loading time ideal for SEO and long-term scalability
- Strong password protection options for client-only areas
- Smooth integration with third-party tools like GlossGenius through embeds or custom code
Cons:
- Slightly steeper learning curve for post-launch editing
Wix
Pros:
- User-friendly drag-and-drop interface for easy edits
- Built-in SEO tools and integrated booking widgets
- Direct app-based integrations and code embedding for GlossGenius
Cons:
- Limited design flexibility compared to Webflow
- Less refined CMS for managing recurring updates or large-scale content
- Slightly slower site performance and less control over SEO metadata structure
My Recommendation: If you'd like a scalable website embedding GlossGenius and protected pages, where you have a faster site and better SEO, go with Webflow. Upon project completion, I can grant you access for changes on informational publishing like testimonials, blogs, and so forth. You will not have full design control, meaning you can't accidentally adjust a page's design(prevents me from having to go in and fix any mistakes). I can record a tutorial for any posting you may want to do on your own via Webflow's CMS. All managerial content for your business would be operable via your Gloss Genius dashboard.
A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to easily create, update, and manage content—such as products, testimonials, and blog posts—without needing technical assistance. Proper integration ensures your site stays current, scalable, and easy for your team to update across whichever platform(s) you use. CMS would be used to feature your products and testimonials.
Your current title structure is not fully optimized, which impacts Google’s ability to accurately read and rank your site. I recommend a complete review of on-page SEO (titles and headers, meta descriptions and alt-text, key-word implementation) to improve search visibility and strengthen your online presence. These fixes will aid your sites load time as well, improving your client's user experience(UX). WIth SEO improvements, I can get your ranges up to 60(mobile)-90(desktop)%.
*mobile is difficult to obtain perfect performance if you want any amination.
*please keep in mind, it takes at least 8-12 weeks to see an significant change in SEO performance, as Google must recrawl and adjust search results periodically.
Please take a look at the stats for your website, compared to stats for my portfolio site. If you'd like to see stats of other clients' site, please let me know.
Your site adjusts well from what I can see, which is excellent. With Webflow, I am able to create pages fitting to all potential screen sizes(tablet, desktop, landscape mobile). Wix only allows desktop and mobile customization.
I recommend connecting Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track performance, user behavior, and conversions. This provides data-driven insights to guide future design, content, and marketing strategies.
