One brand, four doors.

(Overview)

Knotty-N-Natural started as a hair festival. By the time we came in it was four things: the merch line, the Hair Fest, the Texture Studio, and the Foundation serving the cosmetology community. The website still thought it was one thing.

The Challenge

The Texture Studio had just opened as their first physically owned and branded location, and it had no web presence at all. None. People were finding it by driving past the signage.

Founder Porsche Danielle was also mid-transition from a personal brand to a house of brands, everything becoming Knotty-N-Natural X rather than running through her name. She described the need plainly: when she’s talking to someone, she needs to send them to one page that tells them to do one thing. And when someone lands on the homepage, they should see everything on offer and know where to go.

There were marks for Knotty-N-Natural and the Hair Fest and nothing at all for the Foundation or the merch.

What We Did

Four sides of the business now read as one family instead of one business with three secrets. We extended the brand system so the Foundation and the merch line have marks that belong with the originals, and built the site so every arm has a real destination.

The Texture Studio went from invisible to being where most of the traffic goes. Someone sees the signage, looks it up, and there’s something there.

How We Empowered Them

We modernized off an outdated Squarespace version onto current Squarespace, which let us strip out the custom code the old version had required. Roughly five percent custom styles remain, only where it genuinely improved something. Everything else uses what the platform now does natively, so nothing breaks when she edits it.

Google Analytics and Search Console are set up in her account, not ours. She owns the data and can keep monitoring her own footprint without asking anybody what the numbers say.
