Project Overview

Sharp Edge Barbers previously had little to no strong online presence, making it hard for new customers to understand the brand, services, or how to book. The existing setup didn’t reflect the quality or professionalism of the barbershop itself.

I designed a clean, modern demo website to show how a simple online presence can still feel premium. The goal was to make the brand feel sharp, professional, and trustworthy, while making it easy for customers to view services and get in touch without unnecessary complexity.

What I Built

What I Wanted to Achieve

  • A clean hero section with a strong tagline

  • Services page with simple, scannable descriptions

  • A gallery section to show the vibe (these would be real photos for a real client)

  • Contact / booking form

  • Fully responsive layout so everything looks good no matter the screen size

  • A visual style that feels modern, minimal, and masculine


  • A strong first impression

  • A smooth, easy-to-scroll layout

  • Clear services + pricing

  • A simple way for customers to book or reach out

  • A design that feels modern but still “barbershop”

Challenges

Barbershop brands need personality, not generic templates.

I wanted this to feel:

  • stylish

  • straightforward

  • trustworthy and

  • fast on both desktop + mobile

Also, most people book haircuts on their phone, so mobile design was a big priority.

The Result

A simple but effective website that helps a barbershop:

  • look more professional

  • attract walk-ins + bookings

  • build trust instantly

  • show off its brand

  • make contacting them super easy

If this was a real client, I’d also track things like bookings, site visits, and conversions to show the impact.

My Thought Process

I kept everything clean and intentional:

  • No clutter

  • Easy navigation

  • Bold typography

  • Clear sections

  • Short but strong copy

Basically, everything someone needs before deciding: “Yep, I’m booking a cut here.”

What I’d Do Next (For a Real Client)

  • Add photos of the shop + actual haircut results

  • Add real testimonials

  • Set up booking integrations (Fresha, Timely, etc.)

  • Create a pricing table

  • Set up analytics to measure results

  • Offer ongoing updates when things change
