Week 10 – Google Business Profiles

    For this week, I looked up different yoga studios on Google to see how their business pages looked and what kind of details they included. It’s crazy how much you can tell about a business just from the profile. Most of them had updated hours, tons of reviews, photos, and even links to book classes. It really shows how much a Google Business Profile can do for visibility.

1. Yoga Box – La Jolla, CA
Yoga Box had a clean, detailed page with a 4.9-star rating and over 60 reviews. Their photos looked professional, showing the studio space and class setup. The profile had their phone number, website, and business hours listed, plus a quick description of the types of yoga they offer, like Sculpt, Vinyasa, Flow, and Restorative. I could tell people actively leave feedback and check in since the reviews are recent and full of positive energy.

2. Yoga Branch Vista Village – Vista, CA
This one stood out because it’s actually close to where we live. Yoga Branch has been around for 20+ years and holds a 4.8-star rating with 24 reviews. The photos made it look super relaxing and community-based. There were customer reviews that said things like “The classes are engaging and accessible,” which gives off a friendly and welcoming vibe. Their profile also lets people schedule directly, which is a nice touch.

3. YogaSix Bressi Ranch – Carlsbad, CA
YogaSix had the most active-looking page. They have over 500 reviews and a 4.9-star rating. Their profile includes a link to their website, directions, and business hours. They also had a short description that said their classes are “fun, energetic, and deeply rooted in facilitating an amazing yoga practice.” It really shows how a well-maintained profile can make a business stand out.

    After looking through these, it’s clear that the studios that keep their Google pages updated with new photos, clear hours, and recent reviews look way more professional and trustworthy. It also shows potential students that the business is active and involved with the community. When we finish setting up Jada’s Yoga Studio, I definitely want it to have this same kind of polished and engaging look.

Week1: My Blog Theme

     When I created my blog, I started with the default space station background that Blogger offered in its theme options. The futuristic design immediately caught my attention because it reminded me of a command center. Every time I log in to write, it feels like I’m sitting in my own space station, ready to reflect and stay focused. That type of environment puts me in my zone, which is exactly the kind of mindset I want when I’m working.      From there, I made some advanced customizations to make the theme feel more personal. I added teal and orange accents, which worked really well with the dark environment I customized. Blue has always been my favorite color, and teal brings that calming, focused energy I connect with. The orange adds vibrance and contrast.      These changes gave the blog the balance I was looking for. The darker tones keep the design professional and immersive, while the teal and orange accents bring life and energy t...

Wk3 - Defining a Target Market

     A target market is the specific group of people most likely to purchase a product or use a service.

       After exploring various concepts, I'm excited to share the final design for Jada's Cookie Co. It features a delightful birthday cake cookie, complete with vibrant pastel sprinkles and a tempting bite taken out of it – a symbol of the irresistible joy each treat brings. The cookie is presented from a bird's-eye view, making it feel approachable and ready to be enjoyed. The circular design of the logo embodies the idea of a complete, wholesome experience, while the pale purple background adds a touch of whimsical elegance and calm.
