From Outdated to Optimized:
Belle Isle’s SEO + Web Redesign Success
Problem
Belle Isle Animal Hospital’s website was visually outdated, slow to load, and ranked poorly in local search, hurting visibility and patient engagement.
Idea
Redesign the website from the ground up with modern UX, faster performance, and strategic SEO to better reflect the practice and reach more pet owners.
Solution
We delivered a fully rebranded, mobile-friendly site with improved speed, structure, and search optimization, bringing Belle Isle into the digital spotlight.
About The Project
Belle Isle Animal Hospital came to us with a strong reputation in their local community—but their digital presence was lagging behind. Their website was slow, uninviting, and difficult to navigate on mobile devices. Worse, an SEO audit showed major red flags: low search visibility, weak backlinks, outdated content, and a failing grade on speed and usability.
Despite offering high-quality veterinary care, their online experience didn’t reflect their professionalism or help new clients find them. It was time to turn things around.
We approached this project as a full rebrand and rebuild. Our goal was to transform Belle Isle’s online presence into a fast, mobile-friendly, and SEO-optimized experience that would elevate their credibility and convert more visitors into loyal clients.

Before & After Highlights
Belle Isle's Web Redesign
The original homepage was cluttered, with an oversized logo, hard-to-find CTAs, and an outdated popup about business hours. We redesigned it with a cleaner layout, resized the logo for mobile, added clear CTAs like “Request an Appointment,” and moved key info into a more user-friendly footer. The result is a faster, more intuitive experience that reflects Belle Isle’s professionalism.
Belle Isle's New Website
We introduced a clean header with a resized logo, added clear CTA’s (“Book an Appointment”), and streamlined the layout to quickly guide users to what they need. The messaging now speaks to both new and returning pet owners, with updated hours reflected in the footer and contact section instead of a disruptive popup.
We have just started working with Anna about a month ago for my two businesses. She is a pleasure to work and is very attentive and responsive to our needs. It is nice to have someone local who actually cares about us and not just getting the business. She was able to look at what we had been doing and make recommendations for changes and improvements where need be. I am not marketing savvy and sort of dread doing some of the stuff. Anna is very good and gentle about asking for what she needs in order to help us without making it overwhelming for me! So glad I have made the change!!
