Over the weekend Limon Salon’s website went live. This is a website that we put together for the salon’s owner and our friend, Carlos Letelier.

Carlos’ idea for the salon is that it won’t only be a hair salon, but a hub for San Jose artists. The salon will sell music by local bands and also serve up paintings by local artists. Essentially, it’ll be a hang out where you can also get a great hair cut.

When creating the site we really thought about scalability. How will this site look when the salon employs 10 stylists, showcases 20 bands, and sells art by 15 artists (for example)? Well, it’ll look great. The only issue is since they only have 2 stylists, 1 artist and 1 band - the site looks incomplete. That was a trade off we needed to make and in our experience will feel that it will pay off in the long run and it’ll save lots of money for salon in maintenance costs.

We gave Carlos a site he’ll be able to use for years and that has already been getting praise from his colleagues and we had a great time putting it together for him.
