From Template Clinic to Patient-First Brand
How we rebranded Stronghold Health into The Spine Works and built a site that reflects Dr. Zack Farmer's diagnostic-first approach to chiropractic care.
Before & After
From a cookie-cutter chiropractic template under the old Stronghold Health name to a conversion-optimized brand that puts the doctor front and center.
A Great Doctor Hidden Behind a Generic Template
Dr. Zack Farmer had built a thriving chiropractic practice in Nashville with 10,000+ patients and a perfect 5.0 Google rating. But his website told a completely different story. Built on a Beaver Builder template from a chiropractic website factory, it used stock photos of strangers, carried the old "Stronghold Health" multi-doctor branding, and looked identical to hundreds of other chiropractic sites across the country.
The site had no structured data, a cluttered mega-menu with 4+ levels of nesting, and zero content that communicated what makes Dr. Farmer's diagnostic-first approach different.
- Cookie-cutter Beaver Builder template from a chiro website factory
- Stock photos from inceptionimages.com instead of real practice photos
- Old multi-doctor "Stronghold Health" branding no longer accurate
- 4-level deep mega-menu navigation with 30+ pages
- No structured data or schema markup
- "New Patient Special" discount positioning undercut premium care
- No dedicated condition pages for SEO capture
- Generic testimonial section with stock imagery
A Brand Built Around the Doctor
We scrapped everything and started from scratch. New name, new brand, new site. Every decision centered on one question: does this help a patient in pain find and trust Dr. Farmer?
Complete Rebrand
From "Stronghold Health" to "The Spine Works." New logo, new color palette (#2c5786 primary, #F57C33 accent), new positioning: "Fix the Cause. Feel the Difference."
Real Photography
Every stock photo replaced with real images of Dr. Farmer treating actual patients. Visitors see the doctor they'll meet, not a model from a photo library.
Condition-First SEO
9 dedicated condition pages (back pain, sciatica, herniated disc, migraines, whiplash, sports injuries, prenatal, pediatric) capturing search intent for every patient type.
Conversion Architecture
Clean flat navigation, prominent phone number, Jane App booking integration, Google review social proof on every page. 30-second path from landing to booked appointment.
