>./context

[CLIENT]

The 7 Space is a community wellness center in Atlanta offering yoga classes, meditation sessions, art gallery events, and practitioner rentals.

[CHALLENGE]

Transform from a walk-in-only model to a thriving booking and e-commerce platform while preserving the intimate community feel.

[TIMELINE]

>./problem[ERROR]

The 7 Space was leaving money on the table with no online booking, manual calendar coordination for practitioners, and art sales limited to in-person events.

  • !No online booking - practitioners managed their own calendars via text and email
  • !Art sales only happened during gallery events, limiting artist revenue
  • !Double-bookings and scheduling conflicts were common
  • !No way to capture leads or build an email list
  • !Event promotion relied entirely on word-of-mouth
>./solution[OK]

We built an integrated booking and commerce platform that respects the community-first ethos while unlocking new revenue streams.

  • Custom WordPress with WooCommerce for art sales and merchandise
  • Amelia booking system for practitioner scheduling with automated reminders
  • Room rental management with availability calendars
  • Event registration with capacity limits and waitlists
  • Email capture and automated welcome sequences
