When Rewind Time Aesthetics approached WebDev Wales, they needed a professional website that would build trust with potential patients while streamlining their appointment booking process. As an aesthetics clinic in Wales, they faced unique challenges including medical compliance requirements, building patient confidence, and managing complex appointment schedules for different treatments and practitioners.
Why We Chose Next.js for Healthcare
We used Next.js as the foundation for their website because of its superior performance and SEO capabilities, crucial factors for healthcare websites competing in local search results. Server-side rendering ensures that practitioner credentials, treatment information, and contact details are immediately visible to search engines, helping them rank for competitive keywords like 'aesthetics clinic Wales' and 'cosmetic treatments South Wales'.
The framework's automatic code splitting delivers faster page loads, essential for mobile users researching treatments during busy schedules. Next.js built-in image optimization efficiently handles the numerous before and after photos while maintaining fast loading speeds across all devices.
Seamless Booksy Integration
Integrating Booksy's appointment booking system required careful planning to maintain the website's professional aesthetic while providing seamless functionality. We implemented the Booksy widget as a custom component that matches the site's design language, ensuring a cohesive user experience throughout the booking process.
The integration allows patients to view real-time availability, select specific treatments, choose their preferred practitioner, and complete bookings without leaving the website. We optimized the booking flow specifically for mobile users, implementing touch-friendly interface elements and streamlined form fields that work perfectly on smaller screens.
- Real-time availability viewing
- Treatment selection with detailed descriptions
- Practitioner preference options
- Mobile-optimized booking flow
- Automated reminder email system
- Dual booking system for consultations and treatments
Building Trust Through Design
Healthcare websites must establish trust immediately, so our design approach focused on professional credibility while maintaining approachability. We prominently displayed practitioner qualifications, certifications, and professional memberships to establish expertise.
High-quality photography showcasing the clinic environment, equipment, and team helps potential patients feel comfortable and confident. The before and after gallery implementation uses Next.js optimized images with lazy loading, ensuring fast performance while effectively showcasing treatment results.
Compliance and Security
Healthcare websites face strict regulatory requirements, and our Next.js implementation includes comprehensive privacy and compliance features. We implemented cookie consent management that meets GDPR requirements while maintaining website functionality.
Patient data handling follows medical privacy standards, with secure forms and encrypted data transmission. The website includes detailed privacy policies, terms of service, and treatment disclaimers that protect both patients and the clinic.

The results speak for themselves - Rewind Time Aesthetics saw a 60% increase in consultation bookings within three months of launch. Website loading speeds improved by 45% compared to their previous site, reducing bounce rates and improving user engagement.
