Project Overview
Zacks Eye Clinic is an award-winning independent opticians located in Fitzrovia, London, with over 50 years of heritage in delivering specialist eye care. For this project, we redesigned the clinic’s website to position it as a modern, trusted, and premium eye care provider while maintaining its independent and patient-focused identity.
The primary goal was to create a clear and professional digital experience that highlights advanced diagnostic services, specialist contact lens treatments such as Ortho-k, and comprehensive eye examinations. The website needed to build trust, communicate clinical expertise, and guide users seamlessly toward booking appointments.
The Concept
We redesigned the Zacks Eye Clinic website to establish it as a premium, award-winning independent opticians in central London. The core idea was to highlight clinical excellence, personalised eye care, and specialist services while creating a professional yet welcoming digital experience.
The site emphasises advanced diagnostic technology, expert contact lens fitting (including Ortho-k overnight lenses), and a patient-first approach that builds long-term trust. It guides visitors smoothly from learning about services to booking an eye examination.
Project Goals
- Showcase Zacks as a specialist, independent eye clinic with a strong heritage
- Clearly communicate comprehensive eye care services for all ages
- Highlight unique offerings like Orthokeratology and complex prescriptions
- Build credibility through testimonials, awards, and clinical expertise
- Simplify appointment booking and improve local visibility in London
Design Approach
A clean, modern, and professional design with high-quality imagery, scannable service sections, and a calming, trustworthy aesthetic. Strong visual hierarchy, mobile-first responsiveness, and prominent calls-to-action guide users toward booking while maintaining a premium independent clinic feel.
