Project Summary

Tail Club is a dog care and community space designed to put dogs first — offering boarding, play, grooming, and enrichment in an environment built around safety, empathy, and joy. More than a service, Tail Club positions itself as a trusted second home for dogs and a community for their humans.

The project focused on translating this philosophy into a warm, engaging digital experience that builds trust through real stories, real dogs, and real moments.

The Challenge

Choosing care for a dog is an emotional decision. Users need reassurance, transparency, and proof — not just promises.

The key challenges were:

  • Establishing trust quickly with new visitors

  • Communicating care quality without sounding corporate

  • Showcasing community credibility at scale

  • Maintaining clarity on a long, content-rich page

The experience needed to feel human, joyful, and dependable.

Our Role

I led the UI/UX and website design for Tail Club, shaping an experience that prioritizes emotional connection and social proof over traditional feature-heavy marketing. The goal was to make visitors feel confident, reassured, and excited — before they ever book a visit.

My role included:

  • Experience and content strategy

  • Visual and interaction design

  • Information hierarchy and page structure

  • Designing for trust, clarity, and conversion

Our Approach

The design approach centered on earned trust through storytelling.

Key decisions included:

  • A long-form layout that gradually builds confidence

  • Real imagery featuring dogs, staff, and community members

  • Conversational copy to reduce anxiety and friction

  • Strong emphasis on testimonials, metrics, and FAQs

  • Clear CTAs that guide users without pressure

Each section answers a specific user question, creating a natural flow from curiosity to confidence.

The Solution

The final website presents Tail Club as a place where dogs are understood, celebrated, and cared for deeply.

  • Community proof is layered throughout the experience

  • Visual rhythm keeps a long page engaging and scannable

  • Metrics and testimonials reinforce credibility

  • FAQs and clear next steps reduce hesitation

The result is an experience that feels warm, transparent, and genuinely dog-first.

Outcome

The redesigned experience strengthens Tail Club’s brand as a trusted, community-led dog care space. By focusing on emotion, authenticity, and clarity, the site builds confidence organically — encouraging users to take the next step with ease.

The modular structure also allows new content, testimonials, and updates to be added without disrupting the overall flow.
